The CRM for land surveying firms.

5–50 person land surveying firms. Owner-operators and office managers running on Excel, a shared drive, Outlook, and maybe one legacy tool you've outgrown. Boundary, topographic, ALTA, construction staking, subdivision platting — the firm bills by the job, not the hour-card.

If your principal still has to ask “did we ever invoice the Madison Avenue job?”, this page is for you.

1. 1. Track every lead from first call to signed proposal. Pipeline stages you control (e.g. New → Qualified → Proposal → Awarded). Notes, files, activity log. AI lead-risk scoring tells you which proposals are stalling.
2. 2. Quote work accurately, including drive time. Cost breakdowns by role (party chief, crew, CAD, PLS review), service catalog with rates, and drive-time costing pulled from real addresses — not a guess.
3. 3. Run the project until it actually closes. Project status flow, addenda for scope changes, activity log, comments. Crew can see what's assigned; office sees what's stuck.
4. 4. Make sure every closed project gets invoiced. The single most expensive failure mode in a surveying firm is finished work that never goes to billing. Relon's project view surfaces it every time.

A surveying firm we work with — owner-operator, mid-sized, Indiana-based — did a hard look at their billables at the end of a fiscal year and discovered they were leaving $50,000 to $60,000 a year on the table. Not bad debt. Not write-offs. Jobs the crew had finished — staked, measured, drafted, delivered — that never made it to invoice. The work was done. The cash never came in.

This is why we built Relon the way we did. The system you use to track surveying work has exactly one non-negotiable job: don't let finished work go un-invoiced. Everything else — the CRM, the proposals, the AI — is supporting cast.

• Office manager — logs new inbound calls as leads, attaches the request email, assigns to a BDM. Generates the proposal from a template once the scope is clear.
• Principal / PLS — reviews stalled deals from the pipeline AI risk view, signs off proposals, checks the project dashboard for what should be invoiced this week.
• Party chief / crew lead — opens the project, sees scope and site notes, logs activity from the field if needed.
• Bookkeeper — pulls the list of projects with status “Complete” and no invoice. Bills them. Done.

Most SMB surveying firms run on some version of: Excel for the project list, Outlook for everything else, a shared drive for files, QuickBooks for invoicing, and (sometimes) a legacy vertical tool that nobody loves. The cost isn't any one tool — it's the gaps between them. A lead lives in one inbox. A scope change lives in a Word doc on a server. A completed job lives in someone's head. That's where the $50k/year leaks live.
