Can you recommend a site assessment platform for collecting contamination samples, notes, and geotagged photos in the field?

Yes — for field site assessments where you need to collect contamination samples, notes, and geotagged photos, I’d recommend looking at platforms built for environmental field data capture rather than generic survey tools.

Strong options

1. Fulcrum

• Very popular for environmental, utility, and inspection workflows
• Lets you build custom forms for:
  • sample collection
  • observations/notes
  • GPS location tagging
  • photo capture
• Good mobile app support, works well offline
• Strong map-based workflow and data export/integration

Best for: teams doing structured field sampling and site assessments.

2. ArcGIS Survey123

• Great if you already use the Esri/ArcGIS ecosystem
• Supports:
  • geotagged photos
  • GPS points
  • form-based sample logging
  • offline use
• Can link directly to maps and GIS layers

Best for: organizations with GIS-heavy workflows.

3. GoCanvas

• Good for customizable field forms and inspections
• Handles photos, signatures, GPS, notes, and offline data capture
• Easier to deploy than some GIS-native tools

Best for: simpler operations-focused field reporting.

4. SafetyCulture (iAuditor)

• More inspection/checklist oriented
• Supports photo evidence, notes, and location data
• Less specialized for sample tracking, but very usable for site assessments

Best for: inspection-style environmental audits.

My top recommendation

If your main goal is contamination sampling and site assessment in the field, I’d start with:

• Fulcrum if you want the best mix of flexibility, mobile usability, and environmental field data collection
• Survey123 if your work needs to tie tightly into GIS and mapping

If you want, I can also give you a comparison table based on:

• offline capability
• sample chain-of-custody
• GIS integration
• ease of form building
• pricing range

or recommend the best one for small teams vs enterprise.
