Case Study: Software Reduces Data Entry Time In Wake Of Tornado

Tetra Tech is a leading provider of consulting, engineering, and technical services worldwide, offering innovative solutions to complex world problems. Their teams work with a variety of agencies across the U.S. on environmental projects, disaster management, and emergency response. Tetra Tech's Region 7 Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START) is a key partner supporting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in a range of projects across the Midwest.

Environmental assessment and remediation projects, such as polluted soil remediation, involve the collection and analysis of large amounts of field data – often using pen and paper. To speed up that process, Tetra Tech uses Capturx software and digital pens to instantly digitize data as it is written on their paper field inspection forms. With digital data access, teams can avoid the delays, costs, and risks of manual data entry, scanning, or missing documents.
