Excavation software questions

How much does excavation software cost in Australia?

Fieldspilot is excavation software: scheduling, dispatch and invoicing in one app. Free plan; paid plans from A$39 a month plus GST.

Can I bill machine hours from the field?

Yes. Operators add machine hours and truck loads to the job on their phone, and those lines flow into the invoice without anyone rekeying a paper ticket at the end of the week.

What is excavation software?

Excavation software runs the business side of digging, drainage and grading in one place: dig calls and site walks, bids with add-ons, crews and machines, hours and loads, invoices and payments.

Can I offer trenches and retaining walls as add-ons?

Yes. Send a regrade, a French drain or drain and sump as options in one bid, with trenches, retaining walls or a sump pit as add-ons the customer can tick.

Can I keep Before You Dig dates on the job?

Yes. Utility Before You Dig dates, clearances and site photos sit on the job notes and attachments, so the operator doesn’t arrive to an unmarked site.

What if we hit rock?

Add the extra digging to the job with photos and send it for approval. The customer approves by text, and the amount joins the invoice.

Can I bill a builder once a month?

Yes. Set the builder as who pays on each site, and every dig, haul and backfill lands on one monthly statement.

Can I take a deposit before mobilising?

Yes. Attach a deposit to the quote, and the customer pays it from the approval link. The deposit is credited against the final invoice automatically.

Can I schedule a multi-day dig?

Yes. One job holds every day of the dig, with the crew assigned to each, and the customer gets a text if a day moves.

How quickly can an excavation contractor get started?

Setup takes a few minutes: pick excavation, claim a number, forward your existing line, then call yourself to hear it work. Add your machine-hour, haul and material prices to the price book, and no card is needed to start.
