It enables me to write up, search, organize and invoice my jobs within mere minutes, all with a professional quality invoice to the client.

Réal Comeau
ALS, P.ENG, Pinpoint Geomatics
" We implemented Cyanic Job Book about 6 months ago, and am delighted with the functionality, ease of use, and support we received from Cyanic. This is the first time in my career of over 35 years in the geomatics industry that I have been able to create accurate and detailed reports in real time.
In the past, I have always relied on reports generated from accounting staff, which are days or weeks behind. Having Job Book makes managing jobs so much easier and I have no idea how lived without it. "

The Business of Land Surveying
View all posts »A newsletter for open-minded owners, operators and managers to learn more about business topics related to land surveying. Smarter business practices will improve the stature of the whole profession.
Why business is slow
I can't tell you how many times I've heard surveyors complain that things are slow and if they charge more, they will have no work at all.
Why project managers should approve time sheets
It's best-practice in survey companies for project managers to approve time sheets and equipment charges for their projects. Here are some tips.
Surveyors should ignore market rates
It's poor practice to try and mirror the market. There is probably no reason to believe that surveyors in your area are making money.
