Voice note

Example: a field note becomes a report passage

At Creek Bottom, the advisor describes the leaves, crop stage and stand count. After the note uploads, we put those observations into the visit form and report. The advisor checks the wording and adds advice before the grower receives it.

Client report

The report a client receives

Propel drafts the report from the visit. You read it beside the recordings, sign the version you read, and send it straight to the client.

  1. Propel writes the draft from the visit. You read it beside the recordings and photos it came from and fix anything it got wrong.

  2. Your signature goes on the version you read. Any later edit makes a new version instead of changing the signed one.

  3. The client gets the report by email as PDF and Word, with a link to confirm they received it. The activity log records the send and the confirmation.
