Vent: Our yard switched from paper logbooks to a digital app for lift plans six months ago.
Honestly, the first week was a mess with guys fumbling their phones, but now I can pull up the whole day's plan in 10 seconds flat. Do you think digital is actually safer or just more convenient?

Wait, the power outage locked you out of the digital plans completely? That's a HUGE safety red flag nobody talks about. Paper never runs out of batteries or needs a wifi signal. The convenience is great until the grid goes down and you're left with nothing. They really need a backup paper system for emergencies, no question.

Remember when the power went out and nobody could access ANYTHING?

Okay but the "paper never runs out of batteries" line misses how often paper gets lost or damaged. A flood or fire destroys binders in seconds. Good digital systems have local backups on tablets that last for days, and you can print plans ahead of a storm. Relying only on paper has its own huge risks.
