The Problem in Crime Scene Evidence Handling

Paper-based chain of custody records are prone to loss, damage, and error.
Evidence mislabeling and transcription mistakes lead to costly delays — or worse, case dismissals.

Delays in transferring data from the scene to the lab slow investigations.
Inconsistent documentation jeopardizes evidence admissibility in court.

Digital Tools Built for Forensics

SampleServe digitizes the entire crime scene evidence process — from tagging and photographing items in the field, to secure transfer and lab intake.

How SampleServe Solves It

Digital Chain of Custody – Instantly generated and updated with every handoff, signed electronically, and time/GPS-stamped.
Barcode & QR Labeling – Evidence is labeled at the scene with tamper-proof custody seals and scannable barcodes.
Photographic Documentation – Attach high-resolution scene images to each evidence item directly from the field app.
GPS Tracking – Location of evidence collection is automatically recorded and stored.

Lab Integration – Evidence data transfers directly to lab systems with no manual re-entry.
