GeoDin as the alternative for TabLogs: boring log software built on a database you own
GeoDin is boring log software built around geotechnical data ownership. Every AGS delivery, CPT file, geophysical log and lab result from an investigation sits in one geotechnical database, on your server, in your standard, and your designers read it live in Civil 3D. The comparison comes down to what happens to the data once the log is signed.
The question that decides this
Do you log every hole yourself, or do you sign off on data other people collected?
Most firms running serious ground investigation are doing the second. Four subcontractors, four formats, and your name on the record at the end. Logging speed was never the bottleneck., reconciliation was.
That is what GeoDin was built for. Thirty years of it, across 51 countries and more than 15,000 geotechnical projects, for firms like Arcadis, Fugro, WSP and Deutsche Bahn.
What does TabLogs do, and where does GeoDin differ?
TabLogs is cloud-based borehole logging software for digital boring log production. Field capture, ASTM D2487 and USCS classification, report generation, all through a browser and a mobile app, with the data held in their cloud.
That suits firms who self-perform their drilling and work to one national standard. GeoDin takes the other route: the boring log software runs on your desktop and the database runs on your own infrastructure. Running one database across a whole program, with several contractors feeding into it, is a different job, and every difference below follows from that.
