Hydrovac field operations
Talk through the shift.
The paperwork writes itself.
VacMate Field Ops is a voice-first field log for hydrovac crews. Say what changed — delays, scope changes, ground conditions, production — and it's timestamped for you. Management gets a clear record of where the time went.
Your job. Your time. Your proof.

Delay categories
One Button, Plain Speech
Say it the way you'd say it to your foreman. “Waiting on locates.” “Twelve potholes done.” VacMate sorts out the category.
Speak Only When Something Changes
No checklists, no hourly nags. A delay starts its own timer the moment you mention it, and “resume work” stops it.
Friendly Wrap-Up
At the end: “Did everything go as planned?” Yes and you're done. No, and one sentence becomes every record you needed.
Management Gets Structure
Scope changes, documented delays by cause, job conditions and production totals — without taking time from the work.
