Benefits of LYNX

In any industry, time is money.  Written documentation may be meaningless against visual documentation. 

Imagine the benefit of being able to see your project photos right on your portable device!

(I-phone with Safari Internet service shown above).

LYNX is the solution for all of your digital photo problems, from storing to finding exactly the photo you need when you need it.

Jump up to the internet and view any photo with all of the information you need to see.  Now, create a hyperlink of that image/s and send it to anyone while knowing the original photo is safe and secured in a central database back at the main office.

Create a fabulous portfolio, visuallly, for your company and know you'll be able to find the best of the best photos to get those jobs without having to search through folders upon subfolders.  Everything is stored in one secure database.  Years down the line, when the fingers start to point, wouldn't it be nice to instantly find the proof you need, knowing it hasn't been moved, changed, or deleted? Now, all you'll have to do is print the photos out or send over a hyperlink! 

With LYNX - You can do that!

If you already are taking images and just throwing them into folders - those images are at serious risk.  There's a good chance you'll never see some of those photos again, and if you do, you have no way of knowing if they've been modified and how.  We've been in construction too long not to know that you're using a document management software program.  Wouldn't it be nice to link back to this third party software (if it accepts hyperlinks) with the exact photo/s you need and to know that that link won't get broken from a file-name change or it's been accidentally deleted?  Do you want to sift through those thousands of photos? 

When it comes to claims and litigations, there's no question you need LYNX.  We've saved companies millions of dollars in claims and litigation situations because "tamper-proof visual documentation" has always won over written documentation, which can be misinterpreted, misleading or unclear.  

In 2 mouse clicks, a person out in the field can acquire, annotate and securely file images/media into one secure database back at the main office.  LYNX automatically compresses the data to a fraction of its original size and sends it up the chain to the home/regional office.  Now, with the LYNX Web Application, it can be accessed and used by anyone given permission via the web, slide shows, printouts, etc.

Link images to any other application (such as Primavera, Meridian, Microsoft, Sharepoint and other file-based systems). Create and Email visual punch lists to reduce trips, walkthroughs, and eliminate mistakes and confusion on project activities.

Keep everyone visually up to date automatically and instantly from anywhere in the world!

Return On Investment

If you add up all of the man-hours and resources you're using right now, trying to manage all of your digital images, you'll see that the return on investment is immediate with LYNX. 

File Based systems simply take up too much valuable time and can potentially cost a company...everything.

Photos are naturally large in size.  Unlike documents and other files, photos can be a very tricky thing to manage and communicate because of the file size of the image/s.

For Example:

1000 images taken with a typical digital camera today will require approximately 3.2 Gigabytes of space and would take approximately 8 hours to send from a jobsite to the home office (a website, Sharepoint, a Web Server, etc.) and that's if you're using a solid T1 line with 1.5 MBPS up and down.  With LYNX, these same 1000 images at the same resolution would only need 220 MB of space and would only take (on average) 24 minutes to transfer!  Add up all that time and all those resources for the duration of the project, and you'll realize just how valuable LYNX is! 

LYNX works with all of your existing hardware, including your existing digital cameras and PC's.  No extra cost or need to buy new equipment!
