Unbilled hours and lost dockets are destroying your margins

Running a multi-million dollar fleet on whiteboards and carbon-copy dockets creates scheduling chaos, payroll nightmares, and delayed invoicing.

The Reactive Reality

The Reactive Reality

Lost Dockets & Disputed Hours: Paper dockets get lost in the cab or lack detail, leading to invoice disputes over travel time and wind-offs.

Dispatch Blind Spots: Schedulers struggle to match the right operator to the right crane class, and cross-hiring is a manual nightmare.

Payroll Friction: Payroll spends days manually interpreting complex EBA rules, travel allowances, and penalties from handwritten timesheets.

Asset & NHVR Risk: Operators skip paper pre-starts or hand them in weeks late, leaving you exposed to severe safety fines and missed maintenance.

Total Control with Cloudcon

Total Control with Cloudcon

Verified Digital Dockets: Capture exact start/finish times, automatic minimums, and instant client e-signatures that sync to the office immediately.

Smart Dispatch Scheduling: System automatically flags expired HRWL tickets (CN, CO, RI) and seamlessly tracks cross-hired assets alongside your own fleet.

Automated Award Interpretation: Field hours flow directly into a native award engine that calculates travel, overtime, and EBA rules instantly.

Mandatory Digital Pre-Starts: The daily docket is hard-blocked until the crane's pre-start is submitted, instantly alerting maintenance to any logged defects.

Engineered for dispatch, operators, and payroll

Unify your fleet operations under a platform built specifically for the complexities of wet and dry hire.

Smart Dispatch & Cross-Hire Control

Ditch the whiteboard. Drag and drop cranes, operators, and riggers onto jobs. The system auto-verifies High-Risk Work Licences (HRWL) and lets you dispatch cross-hire seamlessly alongside your own fleet.

Digital Dockets & Client Sign-Off

Stop leaving money on the table. Capture exact travel time, minimum hires, wind-offs, and consumables on digital dockets. Secure sign-on-glass client approvals before the crane even packs up.

NHVR Pre-Starts & Maintenance

FAQs

Does the digital docket handle minimum hire times and weather delays?

Absolutely. You can configure minimum hire rules (e.g., 4-hour minimums), travel times, and specific codes for wind-offs or weather delays. Operators log their actual hours, and the system automatically calculates the correct billable amounts for the client to sign off on.

Can we track High-Risk Work Licences (HRWL) and expirations?

Yes. The platform centralizes all operator and rigger tickets (e.g., CO, CN, RI, DG). Dispatch is instantly alerted if a ticket is expiring, and the system can flag an operator if they are assigned to a crane they are not certified to operate.

Does the field app work offline for remote or basement lifts?

Yes. Cloudcon features a native offline engine. Crane crews can complete pre-starts, view SWMS, and capture signed dockets in complete data blackspots. The docket auto-syncs securely to dispatch the moment the device reconnects to a network.

Can Cloudcon handle complex EBA and award payroll rules?

Yes. Cloudcon includes a native award interpreter built for the complexities of the construction and crane sectors. It automates travel allowances, overtime penalties, and specific EBA rules, pushing clean, reconciled data to your payroll system.
