Mobus Document Retrieval · Built for the field

    The right construction file. One text away.

    Your crew texts what they need. Mobus finds the drawing, sheet, or document and sends it straight to their phone—without digging through email, calling the office, or learning another app.

    5.5 hrs

    That is how much time construction professionals spend each week searching for project information—including revised drawings and cut sheets. It is time the field and office never get back.

    The field-access problem

    The crew should not stop because the file is sitting in somebody else's inbox.

    The document usually exists. The delay comes from finding who has it, where they saved it, and whether the copy in front of the crew is the one they should build from.

    01

    The field waits on the office

    One missing drawing turns into a call, an email, a follow-up, and another interruption for the person who knows where the file lives.

    02

    The file is buried somewhere

    Revised sheets disappear into inboxes, shared drives, and folders with names that make the right version hard to recognize from the field.

    03

    Another portal is not the answer

    A worker who needs one sheet should not need another app, another login, or a paid software seat just to keep building.

    The request is the search

    Ask the way you would ask a person. Get the source, not a scavenger hunt.

    01

    Index the project files

    Mobus makes documents, pages, sheet numbers, titles, and disciplines searchable while preserving the original PDFs.

    02

    Text what you need

    A worker sends a plain-language request by text message or WhatsApp from the phone already in their pocket.

    03

    Get the source back

    Mobus finds the best match and replies with the exact page or full file, depending on the request and messaging channel.

    For the worker in the field, the interface is a familiar text thread. No separate field app to install, no folder tree to navigate, and no need to know the filename first.

    Inside the document index

    Find by meaning. Verify against the exact sheet.

    Office teams can search the same index directly. Every match carries the original document, page, sheet number, and extracted drawing metadata forward.

    The response returns both the original document path and the standalone page file, so the pointer remains useful and auditable.

    Ask naturally

    Request a file, drawing, sheet, or page in the same words your crew already uses.

    Search the full set

    Mobus searches indexed documents and standalone pages—not just filenames.

    Receive the source

    The matching PDF or exact sheet comes back with its document and page context.

    Stay grounded

    Every answer points to the project file it came from so the team can verify it.

    Less chasing. More building.

    Give every worker a direct line to the project files.

    For the field

    Get the sheet needed to answer the question in front of you, from the same phone you already carry.

    For the office

    Stop breaking focus to search folders, forward attachments, and answer repeat requests for the same document.

    For project teams

    Keep each result connected to its source document and page instead of passing around mystery attachments.

    For adoption

    Let field workers ask by text while the document index does the searching behind the scenes.

    Give them the file. Let them build.

    Turn every field phone into a direct line to the project documents.
