Industries
Line construction, storm restoration, vegetation management and underground contractors run on crews, equipment and paperwork that moves too slowly. We fix storm closeout, billing and job cost visibility, and build the capability statements and proposals that get you on more bid lists. Our leadership comes from power and storm operations, so we start in your vocabulary.

How we help
Crews, hours, equipment and documentation for every event in one view, while the event is happening.
Storm dashboards ›
Time, equipment and expenses captured once and turned into invoice packages in the format the utility requires.
Storm closeout ›
Mobile forms and integrations that replace paper timesheets, photos in text threads and re-keying.
Custom software ›
Cost against estimate by job, crew and region every week, not after month-end close.
Data, analytics & BI ›
Documents that get you approved as a vendor and help you win MSA and storm work.
Marketing ›
Developers, analysts and data people who scale to the work during storm season and big project ramps.
Technology staffing ›
That’s what the working session is for. 45 minutes, and you leave with a plan whether you hire us or not.

FAQ
Line construction, distribution and transmission contractors, storm restoration companies, vegetation management firms, underground and directional drilling contractors, and holding companies that own several of them.
Usually, yes. We build on top of the field, accounting and ERP tools you already have, connecting them instead of replacing them, unless replacing something is clearly the better answer.
It depends on the starting point, but focused fixes like a closeout checklist, a timesheet capture app or a storm dashboard can often be in place within weeks. We start with the piece that will save the most time on the next event.
Yes. Along with operations and technology work, we build capability statements, pitch decks, proposals and websites for utility contractors.
With a working session on one problem your team wants solved, usually your last big storm event or your slowest closeout. From there we map the first fix and build it.
