Hardware neutrality can be copied. Independence can't.

TerraFlow isn't owned by a hardware manufacturer, a ticket-system company or a one-call operator.

That's why we don't sell a ticket system or ask you to replace yours. It's why we read the locators and receivers you already own instead of selling you ours. And it's why the locate record standard we've written is free for anyone to use.

So ask who owns your software vendor, and whose customers their roadmap is built for.

A mixed fleet shouldn't force a mixed workflow

Radiodetection on half the trucks and Vivax-Metrotech on the other half. Trimble on some crews, Emlid on others. That's normal.

The crew can show up on Monday with a Radiodetection RD8200 locator and a Trimble R980 GPS receiver, and on Tuesday with a Vivax-Metrotech vLoc3 Pro locator and an Emlid Reach RS3 receiver. Same app. Same workflow. Same record, with the accuracy of every point attached.

  • Locators: Radiodetection RD8200SG, RD8200 and RD8100. Vivax-Metrotech vLoc3 Pro, vLoc3 RTK Pro and vLoc2 Pro. Rycom Pathfinder.
  • Receivers: Trimble R Series and Catalyst. Eos Arrow. Emlid Reach RS3. Juniper Geode. Bad Elf GNSS Surveyor.
  • Corrections: Can-Net, Trimble FieldPoint RTX, or any NTRIP service.

Why it matters to operators

You can't tell a hundred contractors what locator to buy. You can tell them what a record has to contain.

A standard built on one vendor's hardware forces every contractor into a purchase. A standard built on the record lets them keep what they own. That's the one that actually gets adopted.

For operators

Your data leaves when you do

TerraFlow doesn't own your records.

Exports go to Esri ArcGIS, QGIS and AutoCAD, and in Shapefile, KML, GeoJSON, CSV and DXF. If you switch software tomorrow, your records come with you.
