Cairn

Proof
of place

Log an asset or an event from a phone. Who, where, when, and a photograph of both the place and the item.

Book a demo

One sighting, in full.

Location

The device fix and its accuracy, exactly as the phone reported it.
Accuracy
Plus or minus 6 m
Recorded, not hidden. A poor fix is still evidence, as long as you know it was poor.
Logged by
The signed-in user
Taken from the session. Not typed in, and not editable afterwards.
Time
On capture
Stamped when the photo is taken, and kept even if the phone uploads hours later.
Condition
Good / fair / poor / damaged
The state it was in at that moment, rather than the state somebody remembers.
Other info
Free text
One open box, because no fixed form survives contact with a real site.

Assets

A thing you own and keep having to find again. Every item holds a register entry, and every time somebody finds it they log a sighting against it. The history is never overwritten, so the question "where was it in March" has an answer.

Events

Something that happened once, in a place. A visit, an incident, a delivery, a reading. The same capture without an item, and an optional second photograph when one picture will not carry it.

Your own event typesOptional extra photoLink to an asset

From the site to the office.

One round trip

Pick the asset

Search the register, or scan the label on the item.

Skipped entirely when you are logging an event

Take the two photographs

The place, then the item. The phone attaches its position and accuracy while the camera is open.

Colour, downscaled on arrival, never served from an open URL

Say what the form did not ask

One free text box, then submit.

No signal queues the record and sends it when there is

Read it back

Sign in to the back office for the register, each item's history and every event, filtered by person, date or type.

Your own
database

Not a shared table

One database per firm

A separate Postgres database, not a column recording who owns each row.

UK hosted

Photographs are never public

Served only to a signed-in user of your firm, through an authenticated route, never from an open URL.

No lock-in

Export whenever you want

It is your register. Take it out as a file, photographs included.
