Underground Electrical
No Rekeying — Your Field Data Goes Directly Into the Office System
Your techs write it down in the field, then someone types it into the computer back at the office. No Rekeying means every keystroke in the field becomes a digital record automatically — zero double-entry, zero wasted payroll.

You pulled the permit, called 811, and the marks are on the ground. But where is the record? Locate tickets are printed and filed by project — not linked to work orders.

How Rekeying Data Actually Looks in Underground Electrical
The Scenario
Locate ticket data, trench depth measurements, and utility crossing notes are captured on paper and re-entered into project management and billing systems.
The Real Impact
Double data entry delays as-built delivery and billing. Transcription errors become liability in damage investigations.
Does This Sound Like Your Underground Electrical Operation?
- !Office staff spend hours re-typing technician notes
- !Errors show up weeks later on invoices
- !Techs complain the paperwork takes longer than the job
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Every rekeyed record costs $4–$12 in labor and error correction. At 50 jobs/week that is $10K–$30K/year in pure waste. No Rekeying eliminates this entirely — data captured once in the field flows straight to the office.
What Underground Electrical Companies Typically Use
These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the rekeying data gap. That's what we build.
Underground Electrical Operational Challenges
- 1Underground conduit work requires locate verification before every trench
- 2Locate tickets filed by project — not linked to daily work orders
- 3No verification record that crew confirmed marks before excavation
- 4Damage claims require weeks of paper reconstruction
Compliance & Regulations
- A811 mandatory notification before excavation
- BNEC/NFPA 70 underground installation requirements
- CState electrical licensing board compliance
- DOSHA trench safety requirements (29 CFR 1926)
How We Deliver No ReKeying for Underground Electrical
Map Your Workflow
We study exactly where rekeying data happens in your underground electrical operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Build a Working Prototype
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
Prove It Before You Pay
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the rekeying data problem, you don't pay.
