Ten years underground. We know what that wet field book looks like.
The problemEvery day, someone in your office lines up the daily report, the timesheet and the daily cost sheet, person by person. 8 plus 1.5 plus 1 plus 1.5, make sure it hits 12. Then the same numbers go into payroll and the invoice. Ask your office manager. The checking is her whole day.
Offsider, day shift. Hours by activity.
With Big Dog The daily is the only entry. The timesheet and cost sheet are built from it, so all three read 12.
A marked-up face, a wet field book and twelve hours. Dan spent ten years writing that report, then chasing it from the office. Now it is the only entry.
10years underground with mining contractors
A real photo from the job, not a render.
The daily is the only entry. Timesheet, cost sheet and invoice come from it and agree. Your office manager checks instead of retyping.
Crews Every person on shift, from the daily, and whose tickets run out before their next swing.
Up to20ha week, per supervisor, on paperwork. The office checking the three sheets is on top of that.
I've worked for them inside the government and they do not have anything like this, that's for sure.
30+ years combined experience Dan spent ten years underground. Ben spent twenty in heavy civil, underground and mining. Who we are
Big DogBecause we wrote the daily reports. Dan is a Virginia Tech mining engineer who spent ten years underground in Australia, the United States and Colombia. Ben spent twenty years in heavy civil, underground and mining. 30+ years combined.
Big DogThey do not have to. A voice note, a photo of the paper sheet or a text, same as now.
Big DogNo. Your people stop retyping and start checking. They get their time back for work that needs judgment. Nobody gets cut.
