Who we are

Ferrum Solutions is a Small Veteran Owned Business based in Oregon. In 2023, our founder Nick was contracting with a few field service businesses to build custom workflow products and noticed several unique challenges for the land survey industry that existing tools didn’t address, leaving many to rely on inefficient or broken manual processes. Owner / operators at land survey companies needed to:

  • Discover and map jobs by street address, lat/long, tax lot ID, township designation or other location attributes

  • Link job assets like survey data or aerial imagery to geocoded jobs and customers

  • Generate internal and external comms automatically, like quotes, reports, summaries, invoices and receipts

  • Integrate jobs data with Quickbooks to eliminate repetitive or error prone bookkeeping

Ferrum is the answer to those needs and is still an early stage solution. As a customer, you’ll be an early partner in the development of a platform built specifically for small land survey companies like yours. Our goal is to get you out of the business of paperwork and enable your goals, whether that’s business growth, selling your business as a turnkey operation with easy operational handover, or just making it home in time for dinner.

Services

  • We’ll demo the survey workflow tool template and discuss any customizations you need in order to meet your goals.

    • Integrate with Quickbooks or another system

    • Send automated emails or texts

    • Generate custom reports

    • Enforce admin vs user permissions

    • Anything else you can dream up

  • We’ll draft a scope of work and estimate for your approval before beginning work.

  • We’ll put the finished product in your hands and ensure it delivers the value you expect before handing you the keys.

We develop a custom application that you own. We start with a vetted land-survey template and adapt it to your exact needs. Choose your add-ons and pay only a small fee based on monthly users after go-live. Development costs are time based but typically start from $1k.

At the end of the day, you’re purchasing a custom workflow web application that does what you need and nothing extra. The app will be accessible from desktop, tablet and mobile, even without cell service and you can reengage us for additional development work for any time. You own the app so you can make changes on your own if you’d like. All work comes with a Service Level Agreement so you can always get help with questions or issues that come up.
