Excavation & Site Prep
No ReKeying — Every Tech Arrives Knowing the Full History of That Unit
When a tech arrives at a site, the unit's full service history should be in their hand — not in a binder in the machine room or in a retired tech's memory. No ReKeying means every field entry becomes a permanent digital record linked to that specific equipment serial number.

First shovel = first locate ticket. If your morning routine is printing tickets, sorting by crew, and hoping the locates are done, you're running a paper process in a $30-billion-damage industry.

How Equipment Service History Actually Looks in Excavation & Site Prep
The Scenario
An excavator operator arrives to continue a trench job started by a different crew last week. He has no handoff notes on the equipment — specifically whether the hydraulic oil was flagged for service or whether the bucket pins were greased after the last shift.
The Real Impact
Equipment handed off without service notes leads to preventable breakdowns mid-job — averaging $1,500–$4,000 in downtime, expedited parts, and rental replacement per incident.
Does This Sound Like Your Excavation & Site Prep Operation?
- !Techs arrive with no knowledge of what was done to the unit last time
- !Service history is split across paper binders, emails, and one person's memory
- !Repeated diagnostics on the same unit because nobody documented the root cause
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Arriving without unit history adds 45–90 minutes of diagnostic re-work per service call. At $100/hour and 3 such calls per tech per week, that is $15K–$23K/year in wasted labor per technician.
