Pin Drop and Re-flow
Re-flow runs jobs, forms and compliance for UK highways, civils and utilities crews, and does it well. Pin Drop adds the place-first view it lacks: named territories, a visit history that lives with the site and routes that hand off to the driver's own maps app.
Re-flow is a UK-built field operations platform, based in Exeter, aimed squarely at highways, civils, traffic management, utilities and landscaping contractors who need to prove compliance on regulated sites. It replaces paper trails, email chains and separate messaging tools with one system for jobs, forms and reporting, and its client list runs deep across UK infrastructure, including Tarmac, FM Conway, Colas and Core Highways.
The feature set is broad and genuinely built for the sector: job creation and scheduling, a drag-and-drop form builder, asset and plant management with MOT and service tracking, on and off hire logging, quotes and invoicing, and compliance tools most rivals skip entirely, including fatigue tracking, lone working checks and worker qualification expiry. Everything works offline and syncs once a signal returns.
Re-flow also tracks resources in real time, showing where people and equipment currently are, and connects to QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, HubSpot and Samsara through a REST API. A dedicated PAS 2080 module handles carbon reporting for highways clients, and larger accounts get a named project manager for rollout.
Pricing is a single plan, Re-flow Field Management, published at GBP 36.50 per user per month billed annually or GBP 38.50 billed monthly, with every listed feature included at that rate. Professional services such as bespoke reports, custom fields, API access and SSO sit on top for teams that want more configuration help.
What Re-flow doesn't have is a geographic layer. Jobs sit inside schedules and forms, not inside named territories, so there's no way to see coverage, overlap or ownership across a patch of ground. Resource tracking shows a dot moving on a map, but it doesn't plan a multi-stop route or hand a driver off to their own navigation app.
That's the gap the map fills. Pin Drop gives every site its own pin, holding visit history, notes and photos no matter which job or crew touches it, with hand-drawn territories, automatic check-in and check-out, and routes that pass straight to Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze.
Run it alongside Re-flow for the territory and routing view its compliance workflow doesn't cover, or start here first if geography, not paperwork, is the harder problem to solve.
Add Pin Drop alongside Re-flow.
Start freeTerritories drawn by hand, not assumed by postcode.
Draw coverage areas straight onto the map, name an owner for each one and see overlap instantly. Re-flow schedules jobs by site or team, but has no equivalent territory layer.
Check-in and check-out that write straight to the pin.
Arrive and leave a site and notes, photos and timing land on that pin automatically. Re-flow's forms capture similar detail, but each entry sits inside a job rather than a place.
Multi-stop routes that hand off to the driver's own app.
Plan a traffic-aware run across several sites, then send it to Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze for the drive itself. Re-flow tracks where people and assets are right now, but doesn't plan the route to get them there.
Your data, in formats you already use.
Export to CSV, GeoJSON, KML or SHP, or connect through an open API. Re-flow offers its own REST API and finance integrations, so both systems can sit side by side without locking your data in.
How it works
From plans and spreadsheets to one live site map.
01
Import what you already have
Bring sites, plots and jobs across from a spreadsheet, CSV or your current tool. However many locations, they map instantly.
02
Shape it around the job
Rename, tag and group by site, phase or subcontractor, and add the custom fields your projects actually use. No rebuild, no consultant.
03
Put it in the crew's hands
Everyone works from the same live map on the phone they already carry. A photo or note logged on site shows up in the office without anyone chasing it.

How we wrote this.
We build Pin Drop, so read this as a competitor's comparison. Every page under Compare follows the same rules: we name where the other tool is better, we check competitor prices and claims at source and print the date we checked, and we only quote a customer outcome where there is a published story behind it.
FAQS
Questions you might have
Is Pin Drop a field service management system?
Pin Drop structures territories and site-level operations. It does not replace full job management and certification platforms designed specifically for service workflows.
Can Pin Drop replace Re-flow?
Pin Drop may replace elements of job-based systems for teams that prioritise geographic oversight and structured site history. Organisations with heavy certification workflows may continue using dedicated compliance platforms alongside it.
Does Pin Drop support compliance forms?
Yes. Pin Drop supports structured data capture through custom fields tied directly to locations. Teams can record inspection data, audit responses and compliance information in a form-style structure on supported plans. The difference is architectural: in Pin Drop, compliance data is attached to place as part of a broader operational record rather than existing as a standalone form system.
Can I record inspection data in Pin Drop?
Yes. Custom data fields allow teams to capture inspection outcomes, measurements, status updates and other structured information directly against a mapped location.
Why use Pin Drop alongside job management software?
Many teams require both operational job workflows and structured geographic visibility. Pin Drop ensures every site maintains long-term history, territory ownership and accountability across regions.
