In the world of span vegetation management, compliance isn’t optional—it’s a daily priority. From ensuring health and safety regulations are met to keeping detailed records for environmental and legal standards, there’s a lot at stake.

But here’s the thing: compliance doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler it is for field teams to record their work, the more likely they are to get it right.

Whether teams are surveying, cutting vegetation, or auditing completed work, they’re often operating in remote locations, sometimes with no internet connection. Add unpredictable weather, tricky terrain, and strict safety checks into the mix, and it’s clear—simplicity on-site is non-negotiable.

That’s why tools like MightyFields make such a difference:

By providing an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that works offline and mirrors existing processes, field teams can focus on the job at hand rather than wrestling with technology. From quickly filling out safety checks before cutting near high-speed rail lines to capturing rich data like photos and videos on-site, simplicity ensures the job gets done—safely, accurately, and compliantly.

At the end of the day, compliance depends on accurate records. And accurate records depend on making it easy for teams to collect data in the field. Keep it simple, and compliance follows.

Scottish Woodlands Example

As one of the leading vegetation management companies in the UK, their teams work across railways, power lines, and ecological sites—often in challenging, remote environments.

With MightyFields, they streamlined their processes, ensuring field teams could easily record critical safety checks and compliance data, even without a signal.

Danielle Dunnagan, Scottish Woodlands’ digitalization lead, highlighted how essential it is simplicity in the transition to digital:

“It’s essential that our reports match the existing paper forms our teams are familiar with. This simplifies the transition to digital and makes it much easier for our field teams to adopt the new system.“

Today, Scottish Woodlands runs everything from railway clearance to ecology compliance checks through MightyFields, ensuring full compliance while reducing administration time.
