The business

A demolition and cleaning contractor with field crews, dumpsters and an office that estimates and bids the work. Many of the crew speak Spanish.

The problem

  • Crews filled in a time card and a separate daily report for the same day.
  • Only one person could be in charge of a job, even when several crews worked it.
  • Checking out equipment took about three steps.
  • They found out a job had run over its estimate only at the end, and bids lived on a separate web calendar.

The standout feature

One check-in, one report, either language

At the end of the day the foreman opens one screen, speaks the day's notes in Spanish, adds photos and any near miss, and submits. The office reads the report in English.

What we built

  • A sign-in that shows each person only their own screens: employee, foreman, driver or office.
  • One combined crew check-in and daily report with notes, photos and safety incidents or near misses.
  • Voice-to-text in Spanish or English on every text field, with Translate to English on reports.
  • Several crews on one job at the same time.
  • Estimate targets for hours and dumpsters, with flags that turn yellow as a job nears the estimate.
  • A shared bid calendar, color-coded by estimator, with bid and win numbers year over year.
  • Equipment checked out to a job or a person in one step, plus a two-week planning grid.
  • Driver waste tickets with ticket number and tonnage, and office reports with the day's weather pulled in.
