One platform, built up from the pieces you need

A fully integrated suite for collecting, managing and reporting geotechnical data — all sharing one secure database. Start with the desktop edition that fits your work, and add mobile, add-ins and specialist tools as you go.

The GEROC platform in action across mobile, desktop and reports
CORE-GS HUB web · coming 2027/28

The heart of the platform

CORE-GS stores, processes and reports every type of geotechnical data across the full lifecycle of a project. Built on Microsoft SQL Server®, with AGS3 and AGS4 among its supported formats, it controls the flow of data between office, site and laboratory, produces professional reports, and visualises your data in 2D and 3D.

  • Spatial data, in-situ tests, lab results, notes and documentation in one database
  • Advanced reporting capabilities including split and linked point logs
  • 2D drawings through to full 3D models and sections
  • Work with data from CPT systems, KML/KMZ, CSV, Excel, AGS, Access/gINT®, DWG/DXF, LAS, ASC, OBJ, STL and TIN
  • Two editions — Standard for data, reporting and 2D CAD (plan/section), Professional for stored procedures, 3D CAD (model/plan/section) and site classification tools

Field app to collect data

CORE-GS MOBILE brings the tools your team relies on in the office out into the field. Capture boreholes, CPTs, hand augers and tests against map-located work items — fully offline — then sync straight back to CORE-GS HUB. Available on Google Play and the App Store.

  • Full offline capture with bi-directional sync of data and settings
  • Map views of projects and work item locations
  • Location capture of newly created work items
  • Description Builder for standardised soil, rock and discontinuity logging
  • Auto Increment, Continuous Range and photo capture
  • Report Preview — check a report from your data before you leave site
  • Covered by any floating licence — or take a dedicated mobile licence so field staff don’t use up the office pool

The APIs come with CORE-GS

Both apps reach your database through CORE-API and SYNC-API, so SQL Server is never exposed directly. They aren’t products — they come with CORE-GS, with no server licence and no per-instance charge.

Out of the box

Processes already built into the standard database

Your database arrives pre-configured with a number of important processes updated via the Maintenance system — alongside the standard operation and laboratory setup, data mappings and report, model and section templates.

File System

Attach and manage photos, documents and other files against features, kept alongside the rest of the project data.

Equipment System

Track rigs, instruments and other field equipment, including calibration and assignment to features.

USCS System

Classify soil samples and laboratory results to the Unified Soil Classification System.

Density System

Capture and calculate in-situ and laboratory density test results.

CPT Process (basic)

Calculates corrected cone resistance, friction ratio, vertical stress and soil behaviour type from raw cone penetration test sounding data.

Piezometer Summary

Summarise groundwater readings across monitoring instruments for a project or site.

SPT

Record Standard Penetration Test blow counts and calculate N-values.

Geology Detail View

A detailed stratigraphy and lithology view for reviewing geological logging on a feature.

Need something these don’t cover? We build custom processes as a quoted service, and you can write your own against the database. Our services

AUTO-API coming soon

End-to-end processes, run for you

Automate a whole process — data import, processing, validation, export and reporting — then choose how it gets started. Scripting is coming to the ADT ADD-IN; AUTO-API will run what you build there.

  • On a schedule — nightly, weekly, or whatever cadence the job needs
  • From a trigger — when something happens, rather than at the next scheduled run
  • On request — by someone on your team, or by an AI agent working on their behalf
  • A separate product under its own terms, licensed by consumption

Specialist add-ins, same database

Each add-in plugs into CORE-GS HUB and works from the same secure data, licensed to match your CORE-GS HUB licence type.

Deployment

Your database, your infrastructure

CORE-GS runs on your own Microsoft SQL Server® — on-premises or in your own Azure tenant — and your licence to the database is permanent. The APIs run in your tenant too, authenticated with Entra, so your data stays under your control.

Roadmap

Where CORE-GS is heading

CORE-GS is undergoing a major enhancement to add web-based functionality, delivered in stages — with more on the horizon.

Stage 1 · Delivered

Performance & refactoring

Performance improvements and refactoring to lay the groundwork for what follows.

Stage 2 · Delivered

Security APIs

CORE-API and SYNC-API — authenticated access to your database from CORE-GS HUB and CORE-GS MOBILE, included with every subscription.

Stage 3 · 2027/28 · In planning

Web app

A self-hostable web app for data entry, reporting and import/export — reusing existing code where possible — giving IT centralised management of CORE-GS HUB versions across the company. Alongside it, AUTO-API runs end-to-end processes on a schedule, from a trigger, or on request.

Exploring

AI & machine learning — on your terms

As we explore machine learning to speed up everyday tasks, you stay in control. This is still pre-release, and we’ll always give you options to control the functionality — how it’s used, and with your data.
