Coming Soon: Smart Sketching
At MightyFields, we believe fieldwork should move fast and communicate clearly. That’s why our R&D is constantly looking for possible simplifications of both field process execution and management.
Here’s one of our upcoming upgrades, the Smart Sketching feature —designed to give vegetation management professionals a sharper edge during survey and consent phases. 🌿
Why Sketching Matters in Vegetation Management
When clearing spans near power lines, decisions must be fast—and grounded in a clear, shared understanding to prevent misinterpretations.
With Smart Sketching, field teams can visually map:
Vegetation overgrowth
Potential hazards and road closures
Specific agreements with landowners
What’s Coming? 🚀
The Smart Sketching upgrade will bring faster workflows, clearer visuals, and better field-to-office communication:
Sketch directly on live maps for geo-accurate context
Access pre-defined sketch elements, automatically drawn from form data (e.g., habitat zones)
Drag and drop elements to mirror real-world conditions
Add annotations to give extra clarity to planners
Attach sketches to reports — no switching tools, no delays
Work offline and sync sketches instantly
The result? Faster approvals, fewer missteps, and total confidence in what’s being planned.

From Field Chaos to Clarity: A Step-by-Step Field Process Transformation Guide
⚡ The AI Buzz vs. Operational Reality
In a world where artificial intelligence is advancing at record speed, it’s striking how many companies still rely on spreadsheets, phone calls, and paper forms to manage field operations. The contrast couldn’t be starker. On one side, futuristic promises of AI-driven automation. On the other? Teams juggling disconnected tools, manual reporting, and administrative overload.
At MightyFields, we believe digital transformation should start where it matters most: in the field. And the key is simplicity, not hype. Here’s a practical, step-by-step guide to how companies are cutting through the chaos—modernising operations, empowering teams, and yes, preparing for AI where it fits best.
⚡ 4 Steps—But Don’t Forget the AI
Step 1: Map Your Field Workflows (As They Really Are)
Before any transformation, clarity is critical. Start by mapping your actual workflows—not just the ideal version, but the messy, real-life steps your teams follow.
What tools are they using? Where are the delays? Who needs which data, and when?
This process often reveals quick wins: duplicate entries, repeated calls for missing info, or legacy systems that no longer serve their purpose.
We also experience an added value on the financial side: orders are handled faster after the intervention, so invoices can be sent out much faster.
Jan Pieters, Head of ICT, Woonhaven
Step 2: Digitise Forms Without Developers
The fastest way to reduce admin burden and data errors is digitising your forms. MightyFields lets you do this in minutes using a drag-and-drop designer. No code. Just content.
You define what’s needed—photos, GPS, signatures, custom logic—and your field teams use it right away. This alone can save hours of work per team, per week.
The solution is very well defined; however, the best part is that it allows instant customisations of the captured and reported data.Katerina Božič, Ph.D., Chief Strategy Officer, JB Energija
Step 3: Empower Teams with Instant Access and Offline Tools
Field teams can’t afford to wait for information—or be tied to an internet connection. That’s why MightyFields is built offline-first. Whether your team is deep in the woods or underground, they can access everything they need and sync data automatically once reconnected.
This isn’t just convenience. It’s the foundation of uninterrupted, accountable fieldwork.
Our subcontractors are up and running in a day, with no extra help, just using MightyFields. The app guides them step-by-step, ensuring data is collected accurately every time. We haven’t heard a single complaint from the field—if it wasn’t working flawlessly, we definitely would have.Gavin Mitchell, Business Information Manager, BTS Group
Step 4: Automate Reporting and Notifications
Once your data is digital, it’s time to put it to work. Automate reports, trigger email workflows, and integrate with your systems like Power BI or ERP. No more late-night follow-ups or missing files. Everything flows.
And the bonus? Standardised, real-time reporting that clients and regulators can trust.
MightyFields allows simple modification, addition, and removal of forms according to needs. We spend very little time on the processes, which is important in a substantial and strategic project, such as digitisation.
Dominik Ovniček, Projects Director, Elektro Gorenjska
⚡ Most Importantly: Add AI Where It Makes Sense
AI doesn’t belong at the end—it can potentially support every step of the transformation, provided the groundwork is done right.
- Mapping workflows? AI can help identify bottlenecks and surface patterns in your processes.
- Digitising forms? AI might assist by suggesting frequently used fields or logic to speed up design.
- Empowering teams? Context-aware suggestions can reduce manual input and improve field productivity.
- Automating reports and communication? Use AI to suggest the writing style of your reports and automated emails.
That said, real benefits from AI come when the data is ready. That’s why the steps above matter. First, build clarity, structure, and consistency. Then the doors to intelligent support truly open.
The Result? Digitalisation That Works—In the Field and Beyond
With the right tools, modernising your field operations doesn’t require a massive IT project or years of planning. It’s about smart steps, intuitive platforms, and workflows your teams want to use.
Make sure your foundations are solid. Start with clarity. Build digital. And grow into a result-driven AI.

What 10,000 Cleared Spans Taught Us About Vegetation Management Digitalisation
🌳 Managing vegetation around power lines, railways, and highways
Managing vegetation around infrastructure like power lines, railways, and highways is no small feat. For the teams on the ground, the job is demanding. For operations leads and IT decision-makers, the challenge lies in creating a system that brings clarity, control, and efficiency to inherently unpredictable fieldwork.
At MightyFields, we’ve supported the clearance of over 10,000 spans across the UK and EU, partnering with leading vegetation management companies. Here’s what we’ve learned from real-world deployments that can help your digital transformation avoid pitfalls—and drive results.
Fact #1
Predictable + Reactive = Real Life
Span management rarely follows a clean, linear path. You’re dealing with multiple landowners, changing weather conditions, last-minute permissions, and sometimes emergency cuts. A rigid system breaks quickly under that kind of pressure.
That’s why flexibility is everything. With MightyFields, these variations are built-in and easy to manage—no developer required.
With the goal of maintaining momentum in the field, even when conditions shift, our clients need to:
Reopen closed spans when permissions arrive late
Flag and schedule shutdowns easily
Launch reactive cut workflows instantly
FACT #2
Offline Isn’t Optional
From deep rural zones to mountainous terrain, vegetation work often happens where connectivity is weak—or nonexistent. That’s where offline capability stops being a feature and becomes mission-critical.
And the consequence of offline-first? Field workers access all information when and where they need it—and operations move forward, uninterrupted. Without a doubt.
MightyFields users:
Work fully offline and sync automatically once connected
Complete reports in real time—no data loss, no double work
Keep field teams independent and efficient, wherever they are
Fact #3
Empowering Subcontractors = Faster Delivery
Subcontractors play a central role in vegetation management. But onboarding and managing them is often a bottleneck.
With MightyFields, subcontractors get paid faster. Project managers gain visibility. Everyone wins.
What we’ve seen in the field:
Teams are up and running within a day
No training sessions needed—just download the app and go
Built-in guidance ensures consistent data capture across all teams
Fact #4
One Platform, All Processes
Vegetation management is just the start. Clients like Scottish Woodlands have scaled their use of MightyFields across railway clearance, ecology compliance, and more.
Why? Because one platform can handle it all—with the flexibility to adapt as business needs evolve.
From surveys to final clearance and compliance reporting, you define the workflows. And when a new process arises? Add it yourself in minutes.
MightyFields has revolutionised our operations. The cost savings are substantial, and our office team now spends their time on process improvements and data analysis rather than chasing reports. Our clients love the timely, well-structured data delivered directly to their systems—it’s elevated our service quality significantly.Gavin Mitchell, Business Information Manager
Ready to Streamline Your Field Operations?
The digitalisation of vegetation management isn’t just about collecting data—it’s about moving faster, staying compliant, and empowering every team in the field. With over 10,000 spans cleared and counting, we know what works.
Let us show you how to get there.

Onboarding with MightyFields: Start Smart, Grow Fast
Start Smart, Grow Fast
Digitalisation can feel overwhelming—especially in the field, where time is tight, users are diverse, and results need to be real. That’s why our onboarding approach at MightyFields is designed to be simple, personal, and step-by-step. You don’t need to digitalise everything overnight. In fact, we encourage you not to.
Here’s how we help you build digital workflows that deliver real value—without the chaos.
_
#1: Start Where It Matters
We begin by focusing on one process. The one that will bring you the fastest, most visible results.
Maybe it’s issue reporting. Maybe it’s work orders or compliance checks. Together, we identify the use case with the highest impact. Then, we set it up in MightyFields—fast, easy, and tailored to your exact needs. With our no-code form designer and ready integrations, your field process is digital and running in days, not months.
Why this matters? Because seeing results early builds momentum. And in digital transformation, momentum is everything.
“In the past it took us weeks, sometimes months, to digitalise individual data capture. Using MightyFields we do it within a few days.”
Dominik Ovniček, Elektro Gorenjska
The MightyFields team added enthusiasm and vivacity to our project.
Tadej Šinkovec, Elektro Ljubljana
#2: Bring in the Right People First
You don’t need to train the whole team on day one. We recommend starting with a handful of key users—your go-to technicians, supervisors, or subcontractors.
These early users become your internal champions. They provide feedback, fine-tune the workflow, and quickly see the benefits of eliminating paperwork. Once that’s running smoothly, rolling it out across the rest of the team is a breeze.
And because MightyFields is designed for field simplicity—offline access, pre-filled forms, intuitive mobile UI—new users pick it up with zero friction.
No training sessions. No confusion. Just the right tool, ready to use. And if you still need to make a change in the workflow, you can do it instantly with the drag-and-drop designer. Or we can do it for you.
“MightyFields is straightforward to use. Subcontractors love the mobile app because they have all the information available, do not lose time for administration and get paid for the job much faster.”
Jakob Halbauer, Calo.sol
“MightyFields helped us reduce our error rate when acquiring data by 30–40%, while the time to write on-location reports basically dropped to zero, as they are generated automatically.”
David Rošić, Klančar Žerjavi
#3: Expand at Your Pace
Once the first process is in place, you can build more. New forms? New reports? Adjusted workflows? All possible with our drag-and-drop builder—no coding, no developers, no waiting.
Need help? Our team is with you every step of the way. Always real people, always your dedicated MightyFields experts. No third-party call centers. No bots.
We co-create the solutions with you—tailored to your field, your people, and your priorities.
“The solution is very well defined; however, the best part is that it allows instant customisations of the captured and reported data.”
Katerina Božič, Ph.D., JB Energija
“This is why I say that MightyFields is the kind of solution that makes an IT department famous. It helps the company and its staff to be flexible and to respond quickly to changes. And this is an important part of the mission of an IT department.”
Črtomir Ješelnik, Istrabenz plini

Field-First Focused Development
What Field-First Focus Really Means (and Why It Matters)
At MightyFields, we don’t just build field management software. We build for the field—from the ground up. Our guiding principle is what we call field-first focused development. It’s not a buzzword—it’s a commitment. A mindset. And it’s why our clients consistently report faster processes, fewer errors, and happier teams.
What is Field-First Focused Development?
It means everything starts with the end user in mind—and that end user is not sitting in an office. They’re in a hard hat, on a site, often offline. So we design for them. No fluff, no unnecessary clicks, no connectivity required.
We develop for the technician working 12 meters up in a crane. For the solar installer under the scorching sun. For the vegetation management teams scanning hectares of terrain. Their tools need to work, fit, and stay out of the way. That’s MightyFields.
“MightyFields is one of those solutions that make IT departments famous.”
Črtomir Ješelnik, Istrabenz Plini
How does it show up in the product?
“Subcontractors love the mobile app because they have all the information available, do not lose time for administration, and get paid for the job much faster.”
Jakob Halbauer, Calo.sol
Offline-first data capture
Work doesn’t stop when the signal disappears. MightyFields runs smoothly even in the most remote areas.
Minimal-click workflows
Your crew shouldn't waste time navigating an app. We optimise everything for fast, efficient reporting.
Instant automation
Once reconnected, data flows seamlessly into reports, notifications, and your existing systems.
No-code customisation
Drag. Drop. Done. Teams can modify processes and forms in minutes without developers.
Bottom Line: Why It Matters
This is what real digital transformation looks like in the field: fewer delays, faster billing, higher efficiency, and better morale:
“With MightyFields, our technicians save around 3 minutes per case, which means savings of 30 minutes per day, or 10 hours per month.”
Žan Verbič, Optiprint
“MightyFields helped us reduce our error rate when acquiring data by 30–40%, while the time to write on-location reports basically dropped to zero.”
David Rošić, Klančar Žerjavi
“We shortened the billing cycle from one or two weeks to one or two days, which is excellent for us and our subcontractors.”
Andrea Kehl, Calo.sol
There are plenty of tools out there trying to serve the field—after they serve the office. Not us. We flip the model. The field comes first. Always.
Because when the field is equipped, the data is accurate. When the data is accurate, the office is faster. And when that loop is automated, everyone wins.
How R&D Powers Our Field-First Development Approach
Innovation, Where It Counts: In the Field
At MightyFields, our product doesn’t just evolve—it adapts, grows, and anticipates the needs of the real heroes of every infrastructure project, inspection route, or solar installation: your field teams.
What makes this possible? A relentless commitment to R&D, laser-focused on field-first development.
Let’s break it down.
Field-First R&D: Built for the Real World
Our research isn’t done in a vacuum. It’s driven by the dirt, the dust, and the daily demands of people in helmets and gloves.
Everything we build is tested against one key question: Does this make fieldwork easier, safer, and faster? And is still compliant with data security standards.
Our R&D teams work directly with technicians, project managers, and IT departments to continuously improve how data is captured, processed, and used—in real-time, and in real-world conditions.
“The MightyFields Team delivered exactly what was agreed, exactly on time and at the price that had been agreed. In the UK this is almost unheard of.”
Andrew Watts, bts Group
What We’re Working On
Conversational Data Capture
We’re exploring how to make form-filling feel less like paperwork and more like a guided conversation.
Imagine your app nudging you naturally with questions like,
“Make sure you take a photo of the site location.”
It’s like having a field coordinator in your pocket—without the clipboard.
Result: Fewer missed fields, less training required, and better compliance across teams.
Sketching Made for Fingers, Not Mice
Need to mark up a layout or draw a connection on-site? We’re investing in mobile sketching tools that are:
- Optimised for touchscreens and gloves
- Able to work offline
- Snap to measurement grids for precision
This is especially critical for utilities, solar field planning, and vegetation management, where field visuals tell the real story.
Result: To keep improving MightyFields as a tool field engineers ask for, not just tolerate.
Rooted in Compliance and Trust
When we invest in R&D, you gain faster reporting, reduced training, and tools your team wants to use. While we push innovation forward, we stay rooted in compliance, consistency, and trust.
Yes, everything runs on EU-based infrastructure. We build with your operations in mind—always dependable, always aligned with the highest data protection standards.
“The MightyFields team is incredibly supportive and always willing to maximise the field experience. You can tell they are true experts in building guided field workflows that make processes smoother and more intuitive.”
Danielle Dunnagan, Scottish Woodlands
