Spot, document, resolve — without missing a thing
Every maintenance issue becomes a geolocated task with photos, priority and assignment. From the report in the forest to the documented repair, you keep track of everything.
What is a maintenance task in Sentinel?
A maintenance task is an issue found on the network, recorded at the exact spot where it sits: a tree across the trail, a torn-off sign, a slippery boardwalk. It carries its GPS position, its photos, its type, its priority, the person responsible and its progress — from the report in the woods to the documented repair.
- Replaces
- Photos dropped in a group chat, to-do lists on paper, and emails you dig up three weeks later.
- Where it happens
- Created and closed on the phone in the field, tracked on the web at the desk.
Reported in 30 seconds
You come across a fallen tree? Open the app — it geolocates you automatically and detects the trail for you. Take a photo, choose the problem type. It's reported, geolocated, dated. The team gets notified. No one will forget.
- Meter-precise geolocation, even deep in the forest
- Unlimited photos, automatically geotagged
- Instant notification to the whole team
Choose the type of problem identified in the field.
Turn a list of problems into an action plan
On the web dashboard, view all open tasks on a map or in a kanban by priority. Assign to a team member, group into a project. You go from firefighting mode to management mode.
- 4 priority levels: critical, high, medium, low
- Individual or group assignment
- Map view or kanban view by priority
No more reports lost in group chats
A fallen tree reported in a Messenger, Facebook or WhatsApp group. Someone replies "we'll look into it." A few weeks later, the message is buried under the group's other conversations. No photo, no precise location, no follow-up. With Sentinel, every report is geolocated, documented and tracked to resolution.
- No more information buried under group chatter
- No more "where exactly is it?" with no answer
- No more forgotten tasks with no proof or follow-up
Why it changes everything
Meter-precise location
Every task is precisely geolocated. Find the problem even in a sector you've never been to, without vague descriptions.
Photos that tell the whole story
Photo at reporting, photo during the intervention, photo after the repair. Complete documentation for your team, partners, and insurers.
Clear prioritization
Critical, high, medium, low. Your teams instantly see what needs to be done this week versus next fall.
Frequently asked questions
What types of tasks can I create?
A point marker (a fallen tree, a broken sign) or a segment over a distance (eroded zone, drainage to redo). Both formats cover the vast majority of maintenance issues.
Can a task be assigned to multiple people?
Yes. A task can be assigned to an individual or a group, depending on your organization.
What happens to a closed task?
It stays in the trail's history, viewable at any time. Useful for proving maintenance was done, or for detecting a recurring problem at the same spot.
Does it work without network?
Yes. You can create tasks, take photos and document without any cellular network. Everything syncs automatically as soon as signal returns.
Do conditions update automatically when someone works on a trail?
When a crew member sets a task to "In progress" on a trail, the app offers to flip the trail condition to "Work in progress". One tap, and your visitors see the update, with the work location pinpointed on the trail. When the task is completed, the app can also suggest reopening the trail. You stay in control, the app handles the reminders.
