Communication between surveyors and clients is the most common formal complaint made to the Texas Board of Professional Land Surveyors, representing 57% of the complaints filed. By providing solutions to issues like communication, payments, and expected deliverables, Cardinal lets you focus on what you love: surveying. Cardinal also helps you reduce overhead costs of office management. By streamlining client communication, payment, and product delivery, Cardinal will reduce the amount of hours required to manage the office, giving your practice the power of big business office departments without the need for numerous staff personnel.

Streamline Management

The staff portal provides a tailored view of the company’s projects from inception to billing. When staff log in to Cardinal, they are greeted with the overview page that displays all jobs assigned to them and/or managed by them, what stage each job is in, and where those jobs are located on a map. Sections of Cardinal can be restricted based on roles within the company, so, for example, field crew can be restricted from viewing financial information and modifying client information, but can view the details of jobs assigned to them and mark the status of their assigned jobs.

Assigning employees to different stages only takes a quick click.

The client portal allows clients to view the status of their jobs, view and pay their invoices, and receive job deliverables. If the clients wish to pay with a credit card, then they may do so online, however, if they wish to pay with cash or check, then staff can mark the payment received in Cardinal. Regardless of payment method, once the invoice has been paid in full, clients are able to download the deliverable for the job directly from the client portal. The number of days that the deliverable is available to the client after payment can be set by the company.
