It can be a dog-eat-dog world for a company surviving as a utility contractor. Luckily, HCSS isn’t interested in helping these contractors survive – the technology is designed for you to thrive.
If you’re performing field services – in other words, you’re a utility contractor working under a master service agreement (MSA) with shorter project scopes – HCSS has heard your cry for enhanced performance analytics, which in return measure and increase revenue, profit, and utilization.
Problems Faced as a Utility Contractor
Short-cycle projects such as new gas service installations, solar and wind power generation, gas distribution, and electric distribution work are just a few of the uphill projects that utility contractors are winning bids for from coast to coast.
In fact, if you started out on the Santa Monica Pier and pulled your car onto I-10, driving through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, ending your 2,430-mile trek in Jacksonville, Florida, you would pass hundreds of contractors along the way who proudly wield HCSS software.
In addition to its heavy civil roots, especially being used to simplify even the most complex infrastructure-related projects, tech powerhouse HCSS has spent the past few years uniquely tailoring HeavyJob to also serve as a one-of-a-kind software solution in the utilities market.
In further developing HeavyJob operations software, the developers specifically sought out to help foremen and project managers with problems like cash flow and billing for all work performed, improving crew utilization and field reporting while collecting cleaner data. Stopping these problems ultimately prevents operations from running over, even connecting HeavyBid for estimating and using that data to prevent underbidding and permanently put a halt to losing money on jobsites.
