Paving Management Software for Excavating and Grading Contractors

Less Idle Time

See when equipment is sitting around doing nothing, so you can step in, fix the issue, and stop paying for machines that aren’t actually working.

Jobsite Visibility

When you can see what equipment is working, where it’s working, and for how long, it’s easier to plan the day, keep crews aligned, and avoid surprises.

Extend Equipment Life

Tracking real run hours helps maintenance happen at the right time, which means fewer breakdowns, less downtime, and longer equipment life.

Set KPI Benchmarks

Monitor crucial productivity metrics in real-time. Track key performance indicators (KPIs) like start times, cycle times, and cost per ton. This gives you the tools you need to challenge yourself to get better and see operational errors across your logistics.

Dispatching

Easily manage and monitor material deliveries. Quickly schedule, communicate, and monitor the delivery of materials like large conduit orders or prefabricated components to your various job sites.

Quick Truck Pay

Accurately manage third-party hauling costs. Edit, approve, and pay driver timecards without needing manual input from drivers. This is essential for accurately managing and paying third-party haulers delivering materials to your sites.

Virtual Shift Tickets

Say goodbye to manual documentation for haulers. Eliminate hand-written, manual shift tickets used to pay your third-party companies and truckers, simplifying accounting and reducing errors.

E-Ticketing Solution

Provide instant digital access to delivery receipts. DOT, customers, and haulers can instantly view scale tickets on their mobile devices. This is useful for instantly verifying the quantity of materials received at the job site.

Integrations

Consolidate your tracking into one system. You no longer need multiple apps to track your fleet. Seamlessly integrate with OEM software, camera systems, and ERPs like Viewpoint and CRH solutions.

Daily Reports

Generate detailed site summaries in seconds. Quickly produce reports showing who was onsite, project progress, essential photos, and even the weather. This eliminates guesswork and manual documentation.

Jobsite Photos and Video

Organize and safety store visual proof of work. Submit, organize, and store all jobsite photos and videos—perfect for documenting pre-wire checks, final installations, and change orders—all in one secure place.

Scheduling

Effortlessly manage your crew assignments. Create daily or recurring schedules for individuals or entire crews, set notifications, and manage shift drafts easily to ensure optimal project staffing.

Documents

Give your crew instant access to critical specs. Upload important digital files like permits, building codes, and site plans so your team can access the necessary documentation directly in the field.

Company Messaging

Communicate instantly and efficiently. Send messages to individuals or groups right within the app, keeping essential communication focused and organized.

Payroll

Dramatically speed up payroll processing. Quickly scan for errors and make adjustments, allowing you to get payroll done fast instead of spending hours gathering paper time cards.

Safety

Manage jobsite safety and compliance. Use the app to report incidents, submit OSHA forms, complete inspections, JSAs (Job Safety Analyses), and trainings, integrating safety directly into daily workflow.

Budgets & Progress Tracking

Monitor project profitability in real time. Set Labor, Equipment, and Progress budgets for your projects to track performance and stay ahead of potential cost overruns.

Inspections

Streamline mandatory compliance and reduce risk exposure. Use simplified OSHA checklists (including Construction 1926 ) on mobile to easily perform and document safety inspections and compliance checks.

Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

Identify and control excavating and grading hazards. Pinpoint potential job site and location hazards—especially for temporary wiring or lockout/tagout procedures—and implement controls to minimize risk before work begins.

Incidents

Rapidly record and investigate every incident. Document incidents and accidents with built-in injury and illness tracking. The system can auto-generate OSHA logs (like 300, 300A, and 301) to keep your documentation impeccable.

Observations

Empower your field team to be proactive risk managers. Enable your crews to quickly and easily record safety observations from their mobile devices, helping you catch minor issues before they become major incidents.

Scan

Use your mobile device to verify safety equipment. Easily scan and inspect safety equipment—like harnesses, ladders, or portable grounding gear—to ensure it's certified and compliant before use.

Training

Simplify, document, and track all your essential safety training. Easily manage records for toolbox talks and required safety certifications, ensuring every worker is qualified and trained for the task at hand.

Forms

Go completely paperless with all your safety documentation. Convert bulky paper safety forms (permits, sign-offs, etc.) into digital forms accessible directly on any mobile device.

Real-Time Inventory Catalog

Track essential details for all your tools, meters, and materials. Keep tabs on item quantities, assignment, status, and more. This gives you the accurate data you need to streamline your operations.

Mobile Field Requests

Keep your team working, not waiting on equipment. Crews can request specific tools or materials right from their phone, saving valuable time and keeping those urgent wiring projects running smoothly.

Pick Tickets and Transfers

Streamline tool logistics between sites or vans. Easily create pick tickets to ensure organized transfers and accurate billing. This helps you avoid project delays by making sure the right gear is where it needs to be.

Wireless Tracking

Protect your high-value equipment and instantly verify location. Use GPS trackers and BLE scans to verify asset locations and eliminate manual checks , helping you avoid tool loss and unnecessary project delays.

Purchasing and Receiving

Avoid material shortages on the job. The system helps you quickly populate purchase orders when your specialized material or tool stock levels drop, ensuring you have the supplies required for every installation.

Job Cost and Billing

Ensure precise project cost allocation. Accurately bill tool usage with features like rate sheets, custom cycles, and fixed rates. This allows you to recoup project operating expenses and ensures precise cost allocation.

Service Requests

Prevent meter and diagnostic equipment breakdowns. Create service schedules, work orders, and view service history to keep your essential equipment in top condition and prevent unexpected failures.

Northeast Paving

On both projects, we were able to cut down on trucks while increasing our tons per shift. The paving and plant foreman were always checking to see what was what and where all the trucks were so we could pave at 35 FPM and keep the plant running at 400 TPH throughout the night. Both projects were a huge success in part because we had this great tool in our back pocket that we could use in live-action.

E.R. Snell

We were able to sync up job master information into project creation and updates within FleetWatcher with the help of the customization team. They have been very accommodating with some of our more specialized requirements. The Define Export module is user friendly and has enabled us to arrange the data for streamlined processing into Viewpoint.

Huey P Stockstill, LLC

Before FleetWatcher, we weren’t being efficient with trucks, but we really couldn’t say with confidence where the inefficiency was. Were we taking too long to load at the plant or too long at a certain job?... We didn’t have enough trucks for production, and we were having difficulty tracking our trucking cost. Also, we couldn’t calculate our productivity, and we were having difficulty estimating the right number of trucks for a job
