Software for septic, excavation and site services
This is a paper business running heavy assets. Permits, locate requests and dump tickets arrive as paper, get lost, and then somebody spends a Friday reconstructing a job to invoice it. Meanwhile two crews are scheduled on the same excavator.
Field service and construction. The category platforms already exist. We build the thirty percent they refuse to: the integrations, the follow-up, the reporting, the customer-facing portal.
Sub-niches covered: Septic installation and pumping, Excavation and earthworks, Demolition, Site preparation and servicing, Shoring and dewatering, Trucking and aggregate haulage.
You likely have this problem if:
Dump tickets go missing before invoicing.
Permits and locates are tracked informally and delay jobs.
Two crews were scheduled on the same machine.
Time on site is estimated rather than recorded.
Somebody spends Friday reconstructing jobs to invoice them.
What breaks operationally:
Dump tickets and material slips are paper and go missing before invoicing.
Permits and utility locates are tracked informally and delay jobs on site.
Equipment is double-booked because availability lives in somebody's head.
Time on site is estimated rather than recorded, so job costing is guesswork.
What we build:
Digital job docket. Crew, equipment, hours, materials and tickets captured on site, which is also the invoice backup.
Permit and locate tracker. Applications and approvals tracked as blockers on the job rather than paper in a truck.
Equipment availability board. One view of every machine, where it is and what it is committed to, which ends the double-booking.
Job costing from the docket. Actual hours, material and equipment cost per job, available while the job is running.
What is the fastest win in an excavation business?
Digital dockets. Paper tickets are the direct cause of unbilled work, disputed invoices and a slow month end, and replacing them takes the least change from the crew of anything on this list.
Will crews actually fill in a docket on a phone?
If it takes under a minute and works without signal. The design has to assume a muddy site, gloves and no bars. Anything that assumes an office environment will be filled in later from memory.
How do you handle equipment shared across jobs in a day?
By tracking the commitment in hours rather than days. Machines move, and a board that only knows about whole days will show conflicts that are not real and miss ones that are.
Is job costing realistic on small jobs?
It is once the docket exists, because the costing falls out of data you are already capturing. Companies usually find that a category of small jobs they assumed was profitable has not been for years.
