Where the hours go

Where excavation companies lose hours

Not the work itself. The admin around it. These are the tasks we see eating the day at excavation companies, and each one is a place AI gives hours back.

01

Bid tracking

Bids go out and follow-up is a phone call nobody makes.

02

Utility locates

Tickets, expirations and remarks are tracked on a whiteboard.

03

Equipment and crew scheduling

Moves and assignments go out by text.

04

Daily reports

Superintendents write reports at night from memory.

05

Trucking and material tickets

Paper tickets get reconciled to invoices weeks later.

What we set up

What we set up for excavation companies

Four routines that usually pay off first. All of them run in the software you already have. When something custom is the right answer, we build that too.

All services →
01

Bid follow-up

Every bid gets a series and the estimator sees who engaged.

02

Locate tracking

Tickets are logged with expirations and renewals flagged automatically.

03

Voice daily reports

A superintendent’s voice note becomes the daily report in your format.

04

Ticket capture

Photos of tickets are read, matched to jobs and reconciled for billing.

Software excavation companies already run

Keep it. We set up the AI features inside HCSS, Procore and the rest of your stack, and tighten the handoffs between them. If one tool is genuinely holding you back, our software consultation helps you decide what to do about it.
