TRADESCRAFT

Job management software for earthmoving and excavation

Quote and schedule the works

Bring the scope of the dig, the operators and the plant onto the same job record. Plan the work on the schedule and record machine use, materials and hours so the invoice can be checked against the work logged.

Quote and schedule the works

  • Quote a site cut, trenching or bulk earthworks from your own price book and convert the win to a job in a tap.
  • Plan the two weeks on one board and schedule operators and plant to the job together.
  • Keep site plans, photos and access notes on the job so the crew turns up ready.

Plant, costs and payment

  • Book your plant onto jobs as a resource, and register each item in the asset register to keep its next service date in view.
  • See quoted hours and costs against what's logged to spot overruns on a fixed-price job.
  • Invoice machine time, cartage, operators and approved variations from the completed earthworks record.

Common questions

Can I schedule plant and operators together?
Yes. Your plant is booked onto a job the same way operators are, so the excavator, the tipper and the crew all line up on the one board for the day. You can see at a glance whether an item is already committed elsewhere.
Can I keep track of my plant and when it's due for a service?
Yes. Book each item of plant onto jobs as a resource, and register it in the asset register with its next service date and warranty, so you know what's working where and what's due for a service rather than chasing it in a notebook.
Can I see whether a fixed-price job is making money?
Quoted hours and costs sit against what's actually been logged on the job, so a site job that's running over shows up early. Because time is recorded as the work happens, the picture reflects the entries your team has recorded; keep those entries up to date.
