No More Data in Someone’s Head. ## Operational data that’s reliable, consistent, and available to every team that needs it Vapour Logbook digitises your site checks: meter readings, lock checks, temperature logs, and everything in between. Define your own rounds, assign teams by site and role, and capture data using AI, voice, or manual input from any device. Every reading feeds into a single, auditable record. Track trends over time, spot anomalies, and meet sustainability reporting requirements with data captured at source. No more paper rounds. No more data that lives in someone’s head. [ ![Vapour](/img/drop-light-blue.svg) Book a Demo ](/book-a-demo) [ Find Out More ](/contact) Request Demo ## See Logbook in action Tell us a little about your requirements and we'll tailor the walkthrough around the decisions you need to make. What is Vapour Logbook? Why Logbook Exists Vapour Logbook is your operational data capture layer. It replaces paper-based site checks with customisable digital rounds, built around your sites, your teams, and your processes. Meter readings, temperature logs, lock checks, quality readings, sustainability metrics: all of it captured in one place, on any device, in any signal environment. Every entry is timestamped and attributed, creating a full audit trail across every data point your operation produces. Logbook connects to the rest of the Vapour platform via API, so the data your teams capture in the field feeds into the wider operational and reporting layer automatically. [ ![Vapour](/img/drop-light-blue.svg) Book a Demo ](/book-a-demo) [ Find Out More ](/contact) Paper-based data capture is slow, inconsistent, and invisible. Site checks get missed. Readings live in spreadsheets no one else can access. Trends go undetected until they become problems. And when compliance requires an audit trail, there isn’t one. Making operational data reliable requires more than digitising a form. It requires: - Capture tools that work the way operators actually work, on any device, in warehouses and remote sites with no signal - Consistent structure across rounds, so every reading is comparable and auditable - Automatic trend detection that flags anomalies before they escalate That’s where Vapour Logbook comes in. ## Three Connected Capabilities ![Planning studio](https://uptight-lapwing.files.svdcdn.com/production/icons/planning-studio.svg?dm=1776804380) ### Data Capture Customisable rounds and forms built by site and role, with mobile data entry via voice, images, and AI-assisted readings. Scheduled reminders and task assignment keep checks on track without manual chasing. Offline capability means operators in remote or low-signal sites can still capture data as normal, syncing when connection is restored. No paper. No re-keying. No hunting for the right form. **BENEFICIAL FOR** - Operators and Warehouse Teams - Site Managers - Quality Leads ![Data migration](https://uptight-lapwing.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/services/Onboarding/data-migration.jpg?w=2880&h=1920&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&dm=1741271102&s=4fb581179fac5b51a5ae450e3d312938) ![Reporting](https://uptight-lapwing.files.svdcdn.com/production/icons/reporting.svg?dm=1741271087) ### Analysis and Reporting Trend tracking with delta detection and automatic unit conversions, so deviations are caught as they develop rather than after the fact. Sustainability metrics capture covers water, energy, and waste, with configurable KPIs and threshold alerts built around your own targets. A full audit trail is maintained for every data point, giving compliance and quality teams a complete, timestamped record of every reading and check across every site. **BENEFICIAL FOR** - Quality Leads - Sustainability Officers - Security and Compliance Teams - Site Managers ![Setup](https://uptight-lapwing.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/services/Onboarding/setup.jpg?w=2880&h=1920&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&dm=1741271103&s=69550e5db9a26f3d8dec7364a49ed927) ![Integration](https://uptight-lapwing.files.svdcdn.com/production/icons/integration.svg?dm=1741271096) ### Integration API and system integrations for connected data flows into the wider Vapour platform and your existing business systems.

Here are the questions we hear most. [ Book a Demo ](https://vapour.scot/book-a-demo) What types of checks and readings can Logbook capture? Logbook is fully customisable, so it covers whatever your site requires: meter readings, temperature logs, lock checks, quality readings, sustainability metrics, and any other routine check your teams carry out. Rounds and forms are built around your sites, your roles, and your existing processes. If you currently capture it on paper or in a spreadsheet, Logbook can replace it. Does it work offline? Our warehouse has no reliable signal. Yes. Offline capability is built in, so operators in warehouses or remote sites can capture data as normal. Entries sync automatically when connection is restored. No data is lost and no check needs to be repeated. What devices does Logbook run on? Logbook is web-based and runs on any device with a browser: tablet, mobile, or desktop. No specialist hardware is required. IoT and connected hardware support is also available for sites that want to pull readings directly from connected devices, removing manual entry entirely where the right equipment is in place. How does Logbook handle compliance and audit requirements? Every reading is timestamped and attributed to the person who captured it, creating a full and unbroken audit trail across every data point and every site. Access is controlled centrally, with permissions set by site and role. Logbook is built around the assumption that compliance is a constant requirement, not an occasional exercise. Can we track sustainability metrics through Logbook? Yes. Water, energy, and waste metrics can be captured as part of standard operational rounds, alongside any other check your sustainability reporting requires. Configurable KPIs and threshold alerts map directly to your own targets, and the data is auditable and timestamped from the point of capture. Does Logbook connect to our existing systems? Logbook integrates with the wider Vapour platform via API, and connects to existing business systems and IoT hardware. Centralised Single Sign-On means one login across the organisation. If you have a specific integration requirement, we’ll confirm what’s possible during the demo. How do rounds get assigned and managed? Rounds are defined centrally and assigned by site, team, and role. Scheduled reminders prompt operators when checks are due, and task assignment means it’s always clear who is responsible for what. Site managers get full visibility of which checks have been completed, by whom, and when. How does Logbook fit within the rest of the Vapour platform? Logbook sits within the Operational Truth tier of the Vapour platform, alongside the Production and Maturation modules. The data captured in Logbook feeds into the wider platform, where it becomes part of the operational record that Insights dashboards and Studio planning tools draw from. It’s the foundation layer: getting the data right at source so every decision made further up the platform is based on accurate information.
