Quick Start Guide

Create your first project, add a deployment, and document your first seam in under 10 minutes.

1. Create your account

Sign up at app.geoqc.com with your email address. No credit card is required for the 14-day free trial. You'll get full access to every feature.

After signing up, you'll be asked to create your first workspace. A workspace is your company or team — it contains all your projects and team members.

2. Create your first project

From the project browser, tap New Project. Enter the project details:

  • Project name — e.g., "Landfill Cell 4 Expansion"
  • Location — site address or coordinates
  • Client — the project owner
  • Geomembrane type — HDPE, LLDPE, PVC, etc.
  • Thickness — e.g., 60 mil, 80 mil

Tip: You can update project details at any time from the project settings screen.

3. Set up your roll inventory

Before documenting deployments, add your geomembrane rolls to the inventory. Go to Inventory → Roll Inventory and tap Add Roll.

For each roll, enter:

  • Roll number (from the manufacturer's label)
  • Manufacturer and lot number
  • Dimensions (width and length)
  • Material type and thickness

Rolls track their status automatically: Available → In Use → Depleted as you assign them to panel deployments.

4. Log your first deployment

Go to Documents → Deployment Log and tap New Entry. Select the roll from your inventory, and record:

  • Panel number (auto-generated or manual)
  • Deployment location and orientation
  • Subgrade condition assessment
  • Weather conditions
  • Photos of the deployed panel

The panel will appear on your as-built drawing automatically if you've set up the drawing canvas.

5. Document your first seam

Go to Documents → Seam Log and tap New Entry. Record the seam weld details:

  • Seam number (auto-generated sequentially)
  • Weld type (fusion or extrusion)
  • Welding machine and operator
  • Connected panels (selected from your deployment log)
  • Non-destructive test result

Tip: Enable Smart Mode to auto-fill repetitive fields like date, manufacturer, and machine settings from your previous entries.

6. Generate a report

Once you have some data, go to Reports → CQA Report and tap Generate. Select which sections to include and GeoQC will compile your field data into a professional PDF.
