Our Geotechnical Software Roots

Developing software for geotechnical/geoenvironmental professionals

Field data collection using a PDADataforensics is a private company that started from academic beginnings but is focused on solutions for practice. While its founders (David and Scott) have Ph.D. degrees in geotechnical engineering, they both worked in consulting engineering practice before attending graduate school and thus have an appreciation for the challenges of “real projects” in the “real world”. Because of their appreciation for the real world, Scott and David wanted Dataforensics to develop real-world products - to be used by you - the consultants and government employees in the commercial world. Scott and David founded Dataforensics in 2002 to support you and work with you to improve our products by using your feedback and experiences.

Why start a software company to help collect borehole data?

Although Scott and David established Dataforensics with a business plan and a vision of helping field personnel collect field data easily and quickly, they knew that transforming long-established practices would require developing partnerships and a reputation for quality products and support, one client at a time. PLog, our flagship product, has been quite a success with over 200 client organizations using it in 12 countries.

Field data collection is most of our history, but only half of the story of our company.

TESTIMONIALS

"I like using PLog because it saves me time and our clients money...I can have my boring logs and notes already completed with a hard copy ready to hand to the client that day if needed. I would say that on the average, PLog saves me about 0.5 to 1.0 hour per boring, which allows us to be more competitive in a market in which bids are lost by very slim margins."
