We're excited to announce that Excavation Expert is now available as a native mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac! This has been one of our most requested features, and we're thrilled to bring the full power of Excavation Expert to your mobile devices.

Whether you're on a job site, in your truck, or working from your office, you can now manage every aspect of your excavation business from the palm of your hand. The mobile app gives you instant access to all your critical business data, right when you need it.

What's Included in the Mobile App

Full Access to Bids & Projects

Create, edit, and review bids on the go. Access all your project details, change orders, and financial data on the go. Everything syncs in real-time across all your devices.

Digital Time Cards for Your Crew

Your crew can clock in and out directly from their phones. GPS verification ensures accuracy, and managers can approve timesheets with a single tap. Say goodbye to paper timesheets forever.

Live GPS Haul Tracking

Track material deliveries in real-time with live GPS tracking. Drivers can log hauls from their phones, and managers can monitor all haul activity on a live map. Eliminate disputes and improve accountability.

Photo Capture & Annotation for Field Reports

Capture photos directly from the job site, annotate them with notes and markup tools, and automatically sync them to your document manager. Perfect for progress reports, site conditions, or communicating issues to clients and your team.

Optimized for All Devices

Works beautifully on iPhone for quick field updates, iPad for detailed project management, and Mac for full desktop power. One app, seamless experience across all your Apple devices.

Why Your Team Will Love It

Real-Time Sync Across All Devices

Make a change on your phone, and it instantly appears on your iPad and desktop. Everyone on your team always has the latest information.

Offline Mode for Job Sites

Continue working even without internet connectivity. All your data syncs automatically when you're back online.

Simple for Your Crew to Use

Intuitive interface designed for people wearing work gloves. Large buttons, clear labels, and minimal steps to complete tasks.

Seamless Document Management Integration

Photos captured in the field automatically sync to your secure document manager. Organize by project, share with clients through the customer portal, or attach to invoices - all without leaving the app.

Included for All Team Members

Every user on your account can download and use the mobile app at no additional cost. Perfect for field crews, foremen, and managers.

Real-World Scenarios

Morning Job Site Check-In

Your foreman arrives at the site, opens the app on their iPhone, and reviews today's crew assignments. They can see which equipment is scheduled, check the weather forecast, and access project plans - all before stepping out of the truck.

Mid-Day Field Documentation

Your crew encounters unexpected site conditions. They snap photos with the mobile app, add annotations to highlight the issue, and instantly upload them to the document manager. The office team and client receive notifications immediately, and everyone can see the documented issue with clear visual context - no phone tag or delayed communication.

Client Progress Updates

A client calls asking about project progress. You pull out your iPad, access the photos your crew captured that morning, and share them through the customer portal in real-time. Client questions answered in seconds, not hours.

End-of-Day Payroll

Instead of collecting paper timesheets, your crew clocks out on their phones. You review and approve all timesheets from your device while still on site. Payroll data is ready for processing before you leave for the day.
