Digital Site Logbook
Replace paper logbooks with a digital log that captures every event at every site. Incidents, visitors, maintenance, security checks, and shift handovers — all GPS-stamped, timestamped, and searchable.
Every site generates a stream of events — shift starts, incidents, visitor sign-ins, maintenance work, security checks, and handover notes.
Paper logbooks are slow, illegible, and impossible to search. InstaNotified's digital site logbook captures all of these entry types with GPS coordinates and timestamps, making them instantly searchable and accessible from web or mobile. Logbook entries automatically feed into the AI assistant's context, so managers can ask questions like "What happened at Site 12 last night?" and get accurate answers. Entries also flow into automated reports for clients and compliance.

What you get
Multiple Entry Types. Log general notes, incidents, visitor sign-ins, maintenance activities, security checks, shift handovers, and custom entry types — all in one logbook.
GPS-Stamped Entries. Every logbook entry is automatically tagged with GPS coordinates and a precise timestamp, providing tamper-proof evidence of when and where events occurred.
Per-Site History. Browse the full event history for any site on web or mobile. Filter by entry type, date range, or employee. Search across all sites from a single view.
AI-Ready Data. Logbook entries feed directly into the AI assistant's context. Ask "What happened at the downtown office this week?" and get a summarized, accurate answer.
Shift Handover Notes. Outgoing employees leave structured handover notes for the next shift — open issues, visitor expectations, equipment status, and anything the incoming team needs to know.
How it works
Employees log events during their shift
Open the logbook on the mobile app and select the entry type — incident, visitor, maintenance, note, or handover. Add details, photos, and tags.
Entries are GPS-stamped and timestamped
Location and time are captured automatically. Supervisors see new entries in real-time on the web dashboard.
Review site history and search across sites
Browse chronological history for any site. Filter by entry type, keyword, or date. Search across all sites from a single screen.
AI summarizes and reports surface insights
The AI assistant uses logbook data to answer questions, generate shift summaries, and produce client-ready reports automatically.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the reporting feature?
Reporting is for structured issue submissions with custom forms, escalation, and client-facing reports. The site logbook is a chronological event stream for a site — a running record of everything that happens during each shift. They complement each other: logbook entries can trigger formal reports when needed.
Can clients see the site logbook?
You control what clients see. Logbook entries can be included in automated client reports, or you can grant clients read-only access to specific entry types for their sites.
Does the logbook work offline?
Yes. Employees can create logbook entries without a network connection. Entries are saved locally and sync automatically when connectivity is restored, preserving the original GPS and timestamp data.
How does the AI use logbook data?
The AI assistant indexes logbook entries as context. Managers can ask natural-language questions about site activity and receive summarized answers. Logbook data also feeds into automated shift reports and client summaries.
