How an excavation company runs a day in TrackOver

One ordinary day

From the first look at the board to the invoice

Each step says who does it. The crew works from their phone, and the office works from a browser on the same record.

1. 1

   Before the crew arrives · Office

   The day's jobs are on the board

   Drag each job onto a day and a crew. The crew sees their own day on their phone before the trucks roll. 811 ticket numbers and mark-out dates sit on the job, with a warning when one is about to expire.

2. 2

   Start of the shift · Crew

   Crews clock in against the job

   Hours go to the job they are working, so payroll and job costing use the same numbers. Your company can require location to clock in, and location is only recorded between clock-in and clock-out.

   On site · Crew

   Photos stamp themselves

   Before, during and after photos keep their date, GPS position and who took them, and sit on the job instead of in three different camera rolls.

4. 4

   Through the day · Crew

   Machine hours land on the job

   Equipment hours and miles are logged per machine and tied to the job it worked on, with service reminders before something breaks in the middle of a dig.

5. 5

   End of the shift · Crew

   Yards logged against the bid

   Log the yards moved each day and see them next to what you bid, so a job running long shows up while there is still time to fix it.

6. 6

   After the job · Office

   The invoice builds from the job

   Turn the finished job into an invoice from your own price book, and send it with a pay link. Job costing sets labor, machine time and material against what you billed.
