What is KeyLogbook?
KeyLogbook is a revolutionary way to record your drilling and sampling information. It
’s quicker, smarter it speeds
up every part of your logging and sampling on site, giving you far more time to do the things that really earn your
company money, drill the holes!
Why do I need KeyLogbook?
So you never have to rewrite a log or write a label again -this can take up to 1 hour every day. Never spend hours
adding up how many bags etc have been taken on the job and days agreeing with clients-engineers. The invoice is
correct and therefore gets processed quicker. Your logs will be with your client the same day they will look perfect
every time, your client will have his AGS data the same day too. For companies and clients the accurate measures
are sent with the other data giving real time monitoring of the project costs.
Why wait and give your competitors the advantage?
I don’t understand computers and cannot type so it’s no good to me.
You do not need to understand computers, turn KeyLogbook on and you are directly taken to the software, no
uploading or starting programmes. It will then guide you through your
days’ work, most days there is only a need to
type in depths of the samples, and even this is done from the huge thumbpad keyboard making it very simple. No
need to type in words or descriptions just pick from lists of data. Even the drilling instructions and project details
can be imported into KeyLogbook so you may not even have to type the project title or exploratory hole number.
The client emails KeyLogbook all the details and it imports them to the project file
