FOREMEN & CREW

IN THE FIELD

Keep crews, foremen, and office teams connected with mobile tools built for heavy civil contractors. Track labor, document work, access project information, and keep jobs moving without relying on paperwork, spreadsheets, or phone calls. 

Keep Your Field Teams Connected and Productive

KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING ACROSS THE JOBSITE

Monitor labor activity, crew status, project updates, and field progress without waiting for end-of-day reports.

EVERYTHING YOUR CREW NEEDS, ALL IN ONE PLACE

Track hours, document work, access project information, and stay connected throughout the workday from a single mobile app. 

The Result: Better Visibility Across Every Project

When crews, foremen, PMs, and office teams work from the same information, projects stay on track and decisions happen faster. 

Everything Heavy Civil Crews Need to Stay on Track

Start the Day with a Clear Picture of the Job ​

Foreman Pete starts his morning by opening the Tractics Foreman App. From the project dashboard, he can quickly access key project resources like plans and specs, safety information, incident reporting, job board documents, onsite crew details, and project contacts.

Instead of digging through paperwork or calling around for basic project information, he has the tools and details he needs in one place before the workday gets moving.

The Result:
Less time searching for information and more time keeping the job moving.

Track Hours Without Slowing Down the Crew

Whether crews are paving roads, installing utilities, moving earth, or pouring concrete, time tracking happens directly from the field. Workers can clock in, clock out, adjust lunch time, and review their Hours Log from the Tractics Mobile App.

When crew members enter a project’s geofence, Tractics can prompt them to clock in, helping them start time on the right job without searching for the project manually. Crews can also clock in or out from the foreman’s Kiosk screen by selecting their name and entering their PIN.

The Result: 
Cleaner records, fewer missed clock-ins, and less paperwork at the end of the day.

Keep Labor Connected to the Work Being Performed

Heavy civil projects rarely stay in one place. Crews move between jobs, phases, and work activities throughout the day. Tractics helps keep labor connected to the appropriate project so supervisors maintain visibility into where time is being spent. 

Project managers gain a clearer understanding of workforce activity while office teams spend less time sorting through labor records. 

The Result:
Better visibility into where labor time is being spent and how that activity impacts project productivity.

Capture Field Activity as the Work Is Happening

Field documentation is most valuable when it’s captured in real time. Crews and foremen can record field notes, attach photos, and document project activity directly from the jobsite.

Whether documenting completed work, site conditions, safety concerns, weather impacts, or unexpected issues, information stays connected to the project and remains accessible long after the work is completed.

The Result:
Stronger documentation and fewer disputes.

Keep Important Project Information in the Field

Foremen shouldn’t have to return to the trailer to find critical information. Tractics provides access to project contacts, company contacts, project documents, project forms, and crew information directly from the field.

Whether you’re coordinating subcontractors, reviewing project paperwork, or locating the right crew member, the information you need stays accessible wherever work is happening.

The Result:
Less time spent searching for information and fewer delays caused by missing documents, contacts, or crew details.

Stay Ahead of Problems Before They Slow the Job

Foremen can review field logs, labor activity, photos, and project updates throughout the day. Instead of waiting until the shift is over to understand what happened, supervisors stay informed as work progresses.

Small issues can be identified earlier, helping teams respond faster and keep projects moving.

The Result:
Faster decisions, better control of field operations, and fewer delays caused by issues going unnoticed.

Connect the Field & Office, Without More Paperwork

As crews track labor, document work, and update project information, records flow back to the office automatically. Payroll teams, project managers, and operations leaders gain access to current job information without chasing down timesheets, notebooks, or field reports.

Everyone works from the same information—from the field to the back office.

The Result:
Better communication between the field and office.

Built for Heavy Civil Contractors

The Crew App and Foreman App are designed specifically for heavy civil construction. Whether you’re managing paving crews, utility installations, earthmoving operations, site development projects, or municipal infrastructure work, Tractics helps keep field and office teams connected around the same information.

Crews spend less time dealing with paperwork. Foremen spend less time chasing answers. Office teams spend less time tracking down information.

The Result:
A more connected operation from the field to the office.

Yes. Tractics helps contractors move away from paper timesheets by allowing crews to record labor hours digitally. Labor records are maintained within the platform, helping reduce paperwork and improve visibility into workforce activity.

How does mobile time tracking work?

Tractics allows employees to track labor hours directly from supported mobile devices. Workers can record time throughout the day while foremen review labor activity and office teams access labor information for payroll and reporting purposes.

Can foremen review employee hours from the field?

Yes. The Tractics Foreman App includes Hours Log functionality that allows supervisors to review crew labor activity, monitor recorded hours, and maintain visibility into workforce activity throughout the day. 

Can contractors track employee breaks and attendance?

Yes. Tractics supports labor tracking workflows that include clocking in, clocking out, and recording breaks. Labor information can then be used to support attendance tracking, payroll preparation, and workforce reporting.
