Share Field Data Directly
Between Organizations
FieldTap Connect lets you share projects and records directly with partner firms, sub-consultants, agencies, and clients. No exports, no email attachments, no FTP - just seamless collaboration between organizations.
How FieldTap Connect Works
Three steps to seamless inter-org collaboration.
Invite a Partner
Send a connection request to any FieldTap organization. They accept with one click - no account setup, no IT tickets.
Share Projects
Choose which projects to share and set permissions - view only, contribute data, or full collaboration. You stay in control.
Collaborate in Real Time
Both teams see shared records, photos, and maps instantly. Changes sync automatically. No version conflicts, no stale data.
Built for How Teams Actually Work
Field projects rarely involve just one firm. FieldTap Connect handles the real-world relationships.
Why FieldTap Connect
Every organization you connect with makes your entire network more valuable.
Network Effects
The more firms on FieldTap, the more valuable it becomes for everyone. Connect once and share data with any partner on the platform - instantly.
Granular Permissions
Share exactly what you want. Set view-only, contribute, or admin access at the project level. Revoke access anytime.
No More Email & FTP
Stop emailing CSVs, uploading to FTP servers, or sharing Google Drive links. Data flows directly between organizations in real time.
Full Audit Trail
Every shared record includes who created it, when it was modified, and which organization it came from. Complete traceability for compliance and QA.
Security First
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Connection requests require mutual acceptance. You control what's shared and with whom - always.
Works Offline Too
Shared data syncs through FieldTap's offline-first engine. Field crews collect data offline and it appears in the shared project when they're back in range.
The Old Way vs. FieldTap Connect
Most field data platforms treat inter-org collaboration as an afterthought. FieldTap makes it a first-class feature.
| Task | Traditional | FieldTap Connect |
|---|---|---|
| Share field data with a partner firm | Export CSV, email it, partner imports manually | One-click project sharing - data syncs automatically |
| Sub-consultant submits data to prime | Separate accounts, manual uploads, version conflicts | Sub-consultant contributes directly to shared project |
| Client reviews field deliverables | Generate PDF, email attachment, wait for feedback | Client sees live data in shared project view |
| Multi-firm joint venture | Each firm uses own system, monthly data reconciliation | All firms work from one shared dataset in real time |
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about FieldTap Connect.
How does FieldTap Connect work?
You send a connection request to another FieldTap organization using their organization name or email. Once they accept, you can share specific projects with them. Shared data syncs automatically between both organizations.
Is FieldTap Connect secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Connection requests require mutual acceptance - no one can access your data without your explicit permission. You can revoke access to any shared project at any time.
What permissions can I set on shared projects?
You can grant three levels of access: View Only (partner can see records but not modify), Contribute (partner can add new records to the project), or Full Access (partner can view, add, edit, and manage records). Permissions are set per project and can be changed anytime.
Does my partner need a FieldTap subscription?
Partners who contribute data need an active FieldTap subscription. However, you can share view-only access with clients who don't have a subscription - they'll receive a secure link to view the shared project data.
Is FieldTap Connect included in my plan?
FieldTap Connect is included in all Team plans at no additional cost. Professional plan users can receive shared projects but need to upgrade to a Team plan to initiate sharing.
Can I share data with organizations using other platforms?
FieldTap Connect works between FieldTap organizations. For partners on other platforms, you can still export data in 10+ formats (CSV, Shapefile, GeoJSON, etc.) or invite them to try FieldTap with a free trial.
