The Ecobot platform
Two components. One connected workflow.
Field capture, office QA, and regulator-ready output, Ecobot Collector on iOS and Android, Ecobot Manager on the web, and the deliverables that come out the other side. Together they form the foundation under every Ecobot product.
How the platform works
One workflow, from boot prints to deliverables.
Ecobot is a platform, not just an app. Field capture, office QA, and final outputs are built as one connected system, so data moves forward without re-keying, re-formatting, or guessing what version is current.
02 · Office
Ecobot Manager
Web platform
PMs and QA leads review surveys, manage photos, run APT, and assemble deliverables with role-based access and audit history.

Inside Manager · Automated APT
Antecedent precipitation analysis, without the manual lift.
APT is required to defend hydrology calls, but running it by hand means pulling NOAA station data, building 30-day rolling windows, and assembling a PDF per point. Ecobot does it for you and drops the report straight into the deliverable.
1 / 6
Why it matters: Regulators expect an APT analysis behind every hydrology determination. Ecobot runs the full analysis in about two minutes, whether it's one point or fifty, orders of magnitude faster than the manual NOAA workflow, and produces a defensible, repeatable record tied to the date you were in the field.
INSIDE MANAGER · ENHANCED MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Run your project portfolio without the friction.
Modern controls for the work managers actually do, combining, handing off, unsticking, and gating access.
1 / 4
Survey Merge: Combine multiple surveys into one to simplify management.
Inside Manager · Photo editing
Edit site photos inline, no exports.
Faster fixes for the photos that end up in deliverables, directly inside Manager.
1 / 4
Individual photo editing: Edit photos in place with inline tools, no exports.
Inside Manager · Photo viewing
Every site photo, organized and review-ready.
Smarter browsing, map-linked context, and inline log work, without leaving Manager.
1 / 4
Photo + map integration: See exact photo location on a map, then step through directional photos.
Inside Collector · Surveys
Stay on top of survey progress in the field.
A focused survey view, direct jumps into work, and color-coded progress at a glance.
1 / 5
Focused survey view: Manage settings in one simple, distraction-free screen.
Inside Collector · User experience
A refreshed Collector on every device.
Small details that keep teams in sync and prevent data from getting stranded.
1 / 3
Device naming: See which device a project is checked out to, at a glance.
Antecedent conditions, documented
APT, automated for every project.
Ecobot Manager runs the USACE Antecedent Precipitation Tool against your project's points and dates, or a centroid on a date you set, and returns the standard USACE PDF plus raw JSON. Powered by the official USACE APT code, so the output matches what reviewers expect.
