Handover packs for solar installers
Your crew photographs each nameplate. Baton reads it twice, a person checks the serial, and the PDF, Excel and CSV land in your own Google Drive.
Setup takes a few minutes. A free Gmail account works for Drive.
Built for solar installers. Works on any equipment with a data plate.
Phone on site, desktop in the office
One six-digit code joins the two. Photos land in the office as they are taken, so nobody emails a gallery around and nobody retypes a serial.
Opens in the browser, nothing to install
Crew never signs in.
For PMs and admins
Each plate beside its photo, and nothing unchecked goes out.
Where the days go
Every handover goes through the same four steps. Without Baton, someone does most of them twice.
Photos come back blurry, or never come back at all
The shot is checked for legibility before it is saved
Serials retyped by hand from a phone gallery
Every plate read by two AI models, and anything they disagree on is flagged
Calls back to site to confirm what a plate said
Manufacturer, model and serial checked by a person against the photo
Built by hand, late, because the data was late
PDF, Excel and CSV generated together in one click
Where handovers go wrong
Each one surfaces after the pack has left you, when it costs the most to fix. Here is what Baton does about it.
Two AI models read each photo and compare. A detail is accepted only if both agree and both are sure; anything else is flagged. Then every manufacturer, model and serial is checked against its photo before a handover can be made, because a confidently wrong serial is exactly what gets a handover rejected.
Photos and finished documents are written into your own company Google Drive, filed by project and equipment type, and our copy is deleted in the same pass. Stop paying us and the record is still sitting there.
Share a link or a printed QR for the day. If it gets out, revoke it. Every phone using that code stops the next time it syncs.
When the job is done
The same register in three shapes: one to send, one to work in, one to import. Set your column headings once per client and every export comes out in their format.
Saved to your own Google Drive, never to ours
Your logo and colour, the full equipment register, and every photo printed alongside it, numbered to match its row.
.xlsx
Serials arrive as text, so 0012345 stays 0012345 and 10-3 never turns itself into a date.
.csv
No formatting, so it imports cleanly. Set your own column headings once per client and every export matches their template.
Somebody is standing in front of a nameplate with a phone right now, and that photo is going into a WhatsApp thread. Point them at a code instead and the register fills in as they shoot.
Everything you capture is yours, in your own Drive. Walk away whenever you like and it stays there.
Receiving a handover instead of producing one? Ask your contractor to use Baton. The register you sign off then comes from the photos, not from someone's memory of the site.

Or scan the QR taped to the site board. Revoke it the moment the job ends.
