Complete control from dispatch to off-hire

Unify your yard, operators, and finance team under a platform built specifically for heavy plant hire.

Visual Dispatch & Cross-Hire

View the real-time status of your entire fleet. Easily allocate machines and operators without double-booking. Track external equipment hired in for specific jobs just as easily as your own gear.

Wet & Dry Hire Contracts

Set highly specific contract rules for every job. Automate complex wet hire operator EBA interpretation, dry hire minimum hours, mobilisation fees, and fuel levies.

Digital Dockets & Pre-Starts

Operators capture hours, complete mandatory daily pre-starts, and get client sign-on-glass approvals directly via the mobile app. Dockets sync to the office instantly.

Bulletproof Invoicing & Off-Hire

Stop losing revenue to invoice disputes. Mandate digital photos for machine damage and exact fuel levels the moment a machine is off-hired. Approved dockets instantly convert into accurate invoices and push directly to Xero, MYOB, or your ERP.

Idle plant is costing you billable hours

Fragmented machinery data leads to missed wet-hire billing windows and undercharged machine hours.

The Paper Reality

Paper dockets get lost in the cab, delaying progress claims and causing disputes over minimum hours.

Dispatchers rely on memory and whiteboards, risking double-bookings and losing track of cross-hired gear.

Payroll spends days manually interpreting complex wet hire EBA rules and travel allowances.

Off-hire disputes over fuel levels and existing damage eat away at your profit margins.

Total Control with Cloudcon

Digital dockets capture exact hours and automatic minimums with instant client e-signatures on site.

Visual dispatch boards show live fleet utilization, seamlessly tracking owned and third-party assets in one place.

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

Mandatory off-hire checklists enforce time-stamped, geotagged photo uploads for fuel and machine condition.

From mobilisation to paid invoice

Schedule & Dispatch

Operations allocates a compliant machine, attachments, and operator. Job details, contract rules, and mandatory safety forms are pushed instantly to the operator's mobile device.

Execution & Dockets (Offline Capable)

The operator completes the daily pre-start, executes the work, and captures the client's signature on a digital docket—working perfectly even in remote offline blackspots.

Payroll & Invoicing

The signed docket instantly splits. Clean hours feed the award engine for payroll, while billable items push directly to your accounting system (Xero, MYOB, ERP) to generate rapid invoices.

FAQs

Can the mobile app be used offline on remote sites?

Yes. Cloudcon's mobile app allows operators to complete pre-starts and digital dockets entirely offline. The data securely stores on the device and automatically syncs to the office dashboard the moment they re-enter mobile reception.

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.

How does Cloudcon handle complex EBA and Award rates for wet hire?

Cloudcon features a built-in EBA Interpreter. Once your payment rules are configured, the system automatically calculates ordinary hours, overtime, penalties, and allowances based on the operator's timesheet before pushing clean data to payroll.

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.

Can we manage both our internal fleet and cross-hired equipment?

Absolutely. You can schedule and track third-party gear alongside your owned assets. This ensures you have total visibility over site utilization and can accurately reconcile incoming supplier invoices against actual site usage.

How does Cloudcon integrate with Xero and MYOB?

We plug directly into your accounting software to completely eliminate Sunday morning double-data entry. Approved daily dockets and timesheets sync directly into Xero or MYOB as draft invoices, automatically mapping to your specific civil Award rates and job cost codes.

How does this integrate with our telematics and accounting software?

Cloudcon acts as the digital bridge. We pull live engine hours via API from your OEM telematics (CAT, Komatsu, Volvo) for maintenance, and we push finalized dockets and timesheets directly into Xero, MYOB, or your enterprise ERP for invoicing.
