The route intelligence handoff is the moment when your survey work becomes operational. Sending a flat PDF attachment over email is no longer the professional standard. Modern OS/OW operations pair a printable Driver Briefing for the cab with a live Client Delivery Portal link for the customer.
The Driver Briefing PDF
The Driver Briefing is a crew-facing document — not a permit report. It is purpose-built for the people executing the move.
**What it Contains** — A simplified route map, distance and travel time, jurisdiction crossings, hazard summary in route-sequence order, critical POI callouts with photos and measurements, and operational notes for escorts and staging.
**Best Practice** — Generate the briefing after the survey is verified, scope it to priority POIs only, and print a physical copy for the cab even when sharing digitally.
The Client Delivery Portal
Static PDFs are non-interactive: the client cannot navigate the corridor, click into a POI, or share the data with their own stakeholders. The Client Delivery Portal solves this.
**No Login Required** — Generate a shareable link. The recipient opens an interactive map of the surveyed route in any browser — no accounts, no installs.
**Live, Not Snapshot** — When you update the project in RoadScope, the Portal reflects those changes. Clients always see current data without re-sent files.
Versioning Every Deliverable
The Document Hub assigns a version label to every generated artifact: V01 for the first copy, V02 for the next revision, V03 for the one after. Older versions are preserved, never overwritten. Use Mark as Official to flag the current authoritative copy and Compare to see what changed between two versions.
Positioning the Deliverable
Do not present the shared map as "here is a link to your data." Position it as: *"Your route intelligence package is available here. You can explore the full route, review every documented constraint with field measurements and photos, and navigate the corridor as if you were there."*
This shifts the customer's perception from "I got a link" to "I received a professional, interactive intelligence package." Include the Portal link as a named deliverable in your proposal — not a bonus feature.
