Allied Surveyors Scotland Announces Major New Partnership with OS Capture

Allied Surveyors Scotland is today announcing an exciting new strategic partnership with OS Capture, becoming the first surveying firm in the UK to adopt the company’s cutting-edge digital capture and workflow technology.

Taking over two years in its development, the partnership will see Allied Surveyors Scotland implement OS Capture’s platform across its network of 30 offices supporting 80 plus surveyors.

OS Capture combines advanced technology with a best-in-class user experience, giving surveyors a clearer, more intuitive, and more efficient way to record and manage information on site.

 The platform represents a major step forward in how surveying is delivered across Scotland – offering a tactile, user-centered approach that enhances accuracy, consistency, and confidence throughout the surveying process.

Claudia Miquel, head of product at OS Capture, said she was delighted to welcome Allied Surveyors Scotland as the company’s first official partner.

“Allied’s reputation, scale and forward-thinking approach make them a perfect partner for OS Capture,” she said. “We’ve created a platform that brings clarity, precision and an intuitive sense of flow to the surveying process – putting surveyors at the heart of a digital experience that supports consistent, high-quality outcomes. Partnering with Allied is an incredibly exciting next step for us.”

Grant Robertson, chairman of Allied Surveyors Scotland, reflected on the significance of the partnership in the context of his long-standing career in the profession:

“Surveying has evolved enormously over the decades,” he said. “From traditional manual methods to today’s powerful digital technologies, the pace of change has been extraordinary. Partnering with OS Capture is the next natural step. It allows us to embrace innovation, invest in our people, and provide our clients with the most advanced solutions available. This is a huge opportunity for the future of our business and for the profession as a whole.”

Kevin Keane, director of operations at Allied Surveyors Scotland, highlighted the operational and client-focused benefits that OS Capture will deliver.

“Partnering with OS Capture marks a major step forward in how we deliver accuracy, efficiency, and exceptional service to our clients across Scotland,” Keane said. “With advanced digital capture and streamlined workflows, our colleagues can focus on what matters most: producing the highest-quality reports and setting new standards in surveying excellence. The feedback so far is overwhelmingly positive.”

In the weeks leading up to the launch, Kevin and Claudia travelled across the country to personally support colleagues through a structured training programme.

This four-week, phased rollout ensured teams were fully supported at every stage – focusing on hands-on learning, practical demonstrations and ongoing guidance. Their approach was intentionally designed to build lasting capability through steady, well-managed implementation, rather than a sudden, one-off launch, and has been widely praised across the business for its supportive and collaborative delivery.

As the first organisation to adopt the technology, Allied Surveyors Scotland continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation and leadership in the surveying profession, paving the way for a more efficient, connected and future-ready industry.
