Why teams switch from gINT
Licence costs that keep climbing
Per-seat gINT licences add up quickly, especially as your team grows. TabLogs runs on a team-based cloud subscription instead.
Stuck on the desktop
Project files get emailed around and saved on individual machines. TabLogs runs in any browser, so your field staff, engineers and reviewers can all work on the same project at the same time, from site or the office.
Weeks of training for new starters
New graduates and field staff can take weeks to get comfortable in gINT. Most TabLogs users are productive within a day.
Bentley gINT vs TabLogs
See the full breakdown on our Features page.
| Bentley gINT | TabLogs | |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Desktop software, local installs required | Cloud-based, works in any browser |
| Licencing | Per-seat desktop licences | Team-based subscription |
| Collaboration | Files passed between single-user desktops | Real-time, across your whole team |
| Standards | Manual formatting to NZGS guidelines and client specs | Built-in NZGS logging templates, configurable for NZTA and client requirements |
| Your existing data | Locked in a proprietary desktop format | Imported in full, historical logs kept |
| Support | Standard ticket queue | 60-second average response |
Moving your gINT data takes days, not months
Export your gINT database
We'll tell you exactly what to export. No IT project required.
We'll import it into TabLogs
Your borehole logs, test pit logs and project structure carry over automatically.
Your team checks it
Review the migrated records against your originals before you go live.
Go live
Usually within 14 days, with nothing lost from your historical records.
“Tablogs has transformed our workflow by streamlining field data collection and eliminating manual entry errors. By digitising the process, we ensure every log—regardless of the driller—strictly adheres to NZGS field logging guidelines, guaranteeing high-quality, standardised data across the entire team. With data being captured digitally at the rig, we have completely removed the need for manual data entry and ‘clean-up’ back at the office. ”
Frequently asked questions
Is gINT support actually ending?
Yes — Bentley is ending support for gINT in 2028. Teams still on gINT should plan their migration now rather than waiting for the deadline to force the issue.
What's the best alternative to gINT in New Zealand?
TabLogs was built for teams moving off Bentley gINT. It runs in the cloud, produces logs to the NZGS Field Description of Soil and Rock guideline out of the box, and imports your existing gINT data directly, so you're not starting from a blank project.
How does gINT compare to other geotechnical database tools?
gINT is a desktop-only database with per-seat licensing and a lot of manual formatting. TabLogs covers the same borehole logging and reporting from a browser, with real-time collaboration and built-in NZGS templates, at a lower total cost for most teams.
Will I lose any historical borehole logs when I migrate?
No. Your existing gINT database, including historical borehole logs, is imported into TabLogs and checked by your team before you go live, so none of your project history is lost.
Can I still upload data to the New Zealand Geotechnical Database?
Yes. TabLogs exports your investigation data in AGS format, ready to upload to the NZGD.
How much does it cost to switch from gINT to TabLogs?
