Total control from the field to the finance team

Give your mechanics the tools to get the job done, and your back office the data they need to bill it profitably.

Digital Job Cards & Mobile App

Equip your mobile mechanics with a rugged offline-capable app. Send them client details, machine history, and digital checklists. They can clock in, attach photos of defects, and capture client sign-off directly from the field.

Timesheets & Payroll Integration

Stop decoding messy handwritten timesheets. Cloudcon captures precise travel and active labour hours from mobile job cards, pushing approved timesheets directly to your payroll systems seamlessly.

Instant Client Invoicing

Turn completed field work into cash faster. By automatically capturing labour hours, service call-out fees, and parts markups on the job card, your admin team can generate and send accurate client invoices the same day.

Painless Client Compliance & Logs

Deliver premium service to your clients by managing their asset compliance. Generate instant, professional audit packs and service histories for their heavy equipment, making your maintenance business indispensable.

Paperwork is eating your profit margins

Unbilled labour, forgotten parts, and delayed invoicing are costing your maintenance business thousands every month.

The Reactive Reality

Mechanics hand in greasy, illegible paper job cards at the end of the week.

Spare parts and consumables are forgotten, leaving you footing the bill.

Invoicing takes weeks because admin has to chase mechanics for hours and details.

Clients constantly call asking for lost service records and compliance certificates.

Total Control with Cloudcon

Real-time digital job cards submitted instantly from the field via mobile.

Mandatory digital parts logging ensures every filter, hose, and litre of oil is billed.

Same-day invoicing powered by job cards that auto-sync straight into your accounting software.

Automated, professional PDF service history logs generated in two clicks.

From client call-out to paid invoice

1. The Dispatch (Assigning the Job)

A client calls in a breakdown. Your workshop manager creates a digital work order, attaches the client’s machine history, and dispatches it directly to the nearest mobile mechanic’s tablet.

2. The Execution (Wrench Time & Parts)

The mechanic arrives on site, completes the digital checklist, logs travel and labour hours, attaches photos of the repair, records all parts used, and gets a digital signature from the site supervisor.

3. The Payoff (Instant Admin & Billing)

The moment the mechanic hits submit, the back office receives a pristine job record. Labour is routed to payroll, and a highly accurate invoice (including parts markup) is drafted in your accounting system.

Custom Form Building

We digitise your existing paper job cards and custom OEM checklists before you even log in.

We Handle the Setup

We train your admin team and your field mechanics so everyone buys into the new process.

Ongoing Local Support

You get a dedicated account manager who understands the civil and plant maintenance industry, ready to help when you need it.

FAQs

Does the Cloudcon mobile app work offline in remote areas?

Yes. The mobile app is built specifically for remote heavy diesel and plant maintenance work. Field crews can complete digital job cards, log parts, and capture client signatures completely offline. The data securely auto-syncs the moment their tablet or phone hits 4G or Wi-Fi range.

Do field crews and operators actually use the Cloudcon app?

Yes. It’s built specifically for the realities of Australian civil construction. With massive buttons, zero corporate jargon, and simple interfaces, it takes an operator less than 60 seconds to complete a digital pre-start or SWMS. If your team can send a text message, they can use this app.

Does Cloudcon integrate with Xero, MYOB, and other accounting software?

Absolutely. Cloudcon features deep integrations with major accounting systems including Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and Sage. Completed digital job cards automatically push billable labour and parts directly to draft invoices, eliminating double-entry and accelerating your cash flow.

Does the app work on remote civil sites with bad phone reception?

Absolutely. Cloudcon features a native offline engine designed specifically for regional Australian blackspots. Your crew can complete forms, log dockets, and capture client signatures deep in a trench without cell service. The data simply caches locally and syncs to the office automatically the second they hit 4G.

How do field mechanics log timesheets and travel time?

Mechanics clock in and out directly via the mobile app. The system allows them to clearly separate travel time, active wrench time, and breaks using specific cost codes. This ensures highly accurate client billing on the front end and seamless payroll processing on the back end.
