Description

No more paper in the field! Work faster & smarter with this easy-to-use yet robust app designed for the heavy civil construction workforce. It supplements the HCSS suite of software by keeping you mobile & productive with these features in your pocket:


~~~~~FIELD~~~~~
Collect better data with less effort, while staying connected to the office & shop (requires HeavyJob).

• TIME CARDS: We've got the easiest time cards in the industry! Save hours each month by ditching pen & paper for an app foremen actually want to use. Just tap to enter time & production, even across multiple jobs, with or without Internet.
• DIARY: Record weather with 1 tap from GPS, tag days with searchable keywords, & note events with speech-to-text.
• PHOTOS: Take photos, draw notes on them, & share with the office.
• NEEDS: Need more resources to meet production goals? Send requests directly to your dispatcher (requires HCSS Dispatcher).
• MAINTENANCE: Prevent costly breakdowns & other equipment downtime by instantly sharing issues with your shop (requires Equipment360).
• MATERIALS & SUBS (iPad only): Track materials received & installed on site to improve invoicing accuracy & boost timely payments.
• FORMS (iPad only): Collect owner-requested info with PDF forms that can automatically fill themselves with data from your app. Or, manually fill any form custom-built by the office.
• MULTILINGUAL: We support English, Spanish, Portuguese, & French.


~~~~~MANAGEMENT~~~~~
Manage your projects like a pro. Receive real-time info from the field to make changes when & where it matters (requires HeavyJob).

• TIME CARD REVIEW (iPad only): Approve time cards or send rejection notes back to your foreman to make corrections.
• DAILY DIGEST (iPad only): Grab a cup of coffee & start your day off with a quick overview of each job. Check job health & progress, & drill into the details that matter.
• JOB ANALYSIS: Always know whether you’re making or losing money, identify which activities are causing the biggest impact, & take action. (Foremen can be given access as well.)
• PRODUCTION PLANNER (iPad only): Project next week’s performance based on current data so you’ll know exactly how much work needs to be done & what resources are required to meet goals. (Foremen can be given access as well.)


~~~~~SAFETY~~~~~
Put safety where it matters most—right in the field (requires HCSS Safety).

• MEETINGS: Hold meetings, record attendance, & capture digital signatures. Use our library of 1,000+ templates influenced by OSHA, the AGC, DOD, & Army Corps of Engineers, or access your company’s custom-built templates.
• OBSERVATIONS: See a hazard? Report it to keep everyone safe on the job. See a stellar example of safety? We make it easy to provide positive reinforcement, too.
• NEAR MISS: Capture near misses in real time so your safety team can develop timely training & prevent incidents before they occur.
• INCIDENTS (iPad only): Report incidents faster & with more accuracy. Send reports directly to the office, where they can be easily referenced at any time for OSHA & insurance purposes.
• INSPECTIONS: Perform inspections in the field with ease by using our robust library or accessing your company’s custom-built library.
• JHA/AHA/JSA (iPad only): We’ll step you through each job hazard analysis. Use our pre-built templates or access custom-built templates that are specific to your job.
• SKILLS & CERTS: Always put the right person on the job when you have instant access to crew qualifications, documentation, & expiration dates.

Communicate with your project team without leaving the app. Chat with other users in the field or in the office to get answers quickly and efficiently.

Would be cool

Would be cool if you could make were you can see total hours in a day. Multiple job in day kinda annoying to go back double check all of them. In the same sense a weekly total to check. So u don’t have to go back add them all up.

App Review

The latest version of the app has a great workflow. It is very easy to complete and enter all of the required information including Fuel Transfers, Maintenance Requests, logging my crews hours, pictures, etc. I’ve had no issues using it.

Developer Response ,

That's great! We're always trying to make the app better with every update, so thank you very much for the feedback.

Hit and miss

Things are easier being on your phone is a super big convenience. But I can enter start stop times in the time card field not can I add specific quantities of material to my cost codes. Have to keep lugging the tablet around for now
