Field Operations

The trailer view of your whole company.

A foreman dashboard built from interviews on real jobs, not focus groups. Crew of the day in two taps. Equipment pinned to the site they're standing on. Voice logs hands-free during a pour. The audit trail the office wants — earned at the truck-bed level.

Foreman dashboard

Designed at a tailgate, not a whiteboard.

A shift-aware morning briefing that knows whether it's pre-12 or post-12. A 12-column grid the foreman drags to taste, saved per user. Widgets stack to a single column on mobile so the layout still works from a glove on a steel deck.

  • Shift slicing — morning / afternoon / today / week with 12:00 and 17:00 cutover boundaries.
  • Greeting by slice — "Good morning" / "Good afternoon" / "Wrapping up today."
  • Per-user layouts — saved in the foreman's account, with one-click reset to default.
  • Inline widget previews — totals and top items show right in the grid; no second click required.
  • Owner widgets stay out — foreman and owner dashboards are kept separate; an owner widget in a foreman layout is silently ignored.

Crew of the day

Two taps from "who's here today" to a published roster.

A worker typeahead that ranks by employee number, then exact name, then last-name prefix, then first-name prefix, then contains, then trade match. Type two letters and a foreman finds anyone on the company. Build the crew once; the punch list, the timesheets, and the daily log all inherit it.

  • Three-step workflow — draft → published → closed, with a return path from published back to draft for in-flight corrections.
  • Worker list cleanup — accepts pasted-in lists or one-by-one entries, removes duplicates, sorts, and ignores bad input.
  • Inline picker — fast, snappy, and saves directly without re-entry.
  • Shift-aware — supports morning, afternoon, today, and week shifts with hours-of-day validation.
  • Shift validation — rejects a shift whose start time is after its end time.

Equipment pinned at site

The skid steer your foreman thinks is missing.

Field-pinned equipment folds in with transfer-derived locations from your equipment system. Same asset shows up in both pools? First pin wins, source upgrades to "both," soft-unpinned items skip silently. Sort is case-insensitive by asset tag so CAT-918 always lands next to CAT-919.

  • First-pin-wins duplicate handling — the foreman's pin trumps an old transfer for the visible label.
  • Source upgrade — items in both pools upgrade their source to "both" instead of duplicating.
  • Soft unpin — keeps a record without cluttering the live view.
  • Linked to the equipment record — every pin is anchored to the master equipment record, so equipment history stays intact.

Punch panel

Overdue first. Priority second. Due date third. ID fourth.

A punch panel with a predictable sort the foreman never has to re-tune. Active / ready / closed-today buckets. The status flow has done/void as final states, but lets you toggle open ↔ in-progress for the field reality of work that starts and stops. Plain-English durations so "9d 4h" reads at a glance.

  • Three buckets — Active (open or in progress) · Ready (assigned, not started) · Closed today.
  • Within each bucket — overdue first, then by priority, then by due date, then by item number.
  • Status workflow — open ↔ in-progress, then done or void. No skipping.
  • Duration humanize — boundary "—" / <1s / Ss / Mm / Mm Ss with no surprise zero output.
  • Quality & safety, too — inspections, ITP hold points, and OSHA logging live in Safety & Quality.

Voice logs

Hands-free during a pour.

Five categories: safety, quality, progress, incident, general. Newest-first cards with a 120-character excerpt for the recent-list view. Foreman talks; the daily log inherits it.

Tap and talk

Tap the mic in the foreman dashboard. Voice is transcribed and categorized by keyword + intent — no manual tagging required.

Auto-categorize

Five-category map. Safety entries surface on the day's safety severity widget; incidents page the office.

120-char excerpt

Recent-list cards show a clean excerpt so the foreman can re-find an entry without listening to anything back.

Daily log inherit

End of day, all voice entries roll up into the daily log under the right cost code and trade — no re-typing.

Trust-scored timesheets

Timesheets you can defend in an audit.

Every clock-in carries a geofence check, a photo, an EXIF geotag, and a crew attestation. NOAA weather lands on the daily log automatically. When your insurer or your client asks "where was this crew?" — you can show them, with timestamps.

Geofence

Soft-warn with audit

Clock-ins outside the site radius soft-warn the worker but don't block them. Supervisor overrides leave a stamped audit row.

Photo + EXIF

Selfie + geotag

Photo capture on clock-in, EXIF metadata preserved. Time, lat/long, and device fingerprint travel with the row.

Attestation

Crew confirms hours

End-of-day attestation from each worker's phone, not the foreman's word. Disputes show before they become DOL letters.

Ship-out gate

The chokepoint between your job site and your general ledger.

Every off-site material move — from work orders, equipment transfers, procurement shipments, salvage pickups — stages a draft GL entry your accounting team reviews before it posts. The shop foreman doesn't get to silently move inventory anymore.

  • Draft-only postingthe draft-only mode parks the GL row as 'draft' on a ShipOutReview record.
  • Accounting queue — the Ship-Out Review queue lists every staged entry with a source chip (work order / equipment / procurement / salvage) and a color code.
  • Approve or reject — approval posts the staged journal; rejection voids it, leaving the audit row in place.
  • Four chokepoints — adding material to a work order, transferring an asset, shipping a procurement order, or confirming a salvage pickup — every off-site flow goes through the same gate.
  • Master switch — entire system short-circuits behind a master ship_out_gate flag for customers that don't need it.
