SUPERWISE ® Launches /collect: AI-Powered Field Intelligence, Built for the Front Lines
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SUPERWISE ®, the Enterprise AI Governance and Operations Platform, has launched /collect, an AI-powered data capture tool built for frontline teams. Designed for dynamic environments like construction sites, factories, and utility routes, /collect enables teams to capture, sync, and report data anywhere. It's not just about easy data capture, it's about control. With /collect, your data stays yours: no vendor lock-in, no black-box storage. Just smarter, AI-driven field data, fully owned and instantly usable.

The solution supports local data caching, region-aware syncing and enterprise-aligned governance policies, maintaining full control over where data is stored. Share For many frontline teams, the gap between what happens on-site and what shows up in systems is still wide. Paper-based checklists, clunky forms, and poor connectivity often leave organizations blind to what's really going on in the field. /collect was built to close that gap. Data Ownership and Control from Point of Capture /collect ensures that all field data remains the sole property of the organization collecting it. The solution supports local data caching, region-aware syncing, and enterprise-aligned governance policies; maintaining full control over where data is stored, when it is transmitted, and how it is used.

Inputs are cached locally, then synced to enterprise systems with structured reports auto-generated by built-in AI. What used to take hours now happens in seconds, without backlogs or bottlenecks. '/collect isn't just a form filler,' said Russ Blattner, CEO of SUPERWISE. 'It's a frontline intelligence layer. We built it to operate where the action is so companies can stop relying on incomplete reports and start seeing what's really happening in real time.' Built for Harsh Realities, Designed for Humans Unlike traditional tools retrofitted for field work, /collect was engineered from the ground up for hands-busy, no-signal environments. With intuitive UX and seamless offline capabilities, it puts zero-friction data capture into the hands of the people closest to the work. Key Features Include: Data Ownership from Capture: /collect ensures all field data remains fully owned by your organization, with local caching, region-aware syncing, and enterprise-aligned governance for complete control over storage, transmission, and usage. Voice, Photo & Text Capture: for flexible, on-the-go input Offline Syncing: to eliminate data loss AI-Powered Reporting: that transforms raw updates into structured insights Manager Access: for fast reviews, audits, and escalations Modular Integration: with enterprise systems via exports, flexible formats, and team-level access controls From Documentation to Decision-Making /collect is already being deployed by early adopters across construction, manufacturing, and utilities to improve site safety, reduce reporting lag, and accelerate maintenance response. 'When field data is clean, current, and contextual, AI can actually do its job,' added Blattner. 'That's why /collect matters. It doesn't just improve documentation, it feeds better decisions across the board.'
