Pin Drop vs Re-flow

A job compliance system, or a job compliance system with a map underneath it?
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.

Territories 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.

Where job management ends and the map begins.

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.
