Digitalizing paper forms vs. Driving automated operational workflows

Dashpivot operates primarily as a digital document builder -capturing unstructured form data for safety, quality, and reporting.

Core Differences:

Cloudcon goes beyond simple data entry. Our platform uses structured relational data where a single pre-start or docket automatically updates machinery service meters, calculates union EBA overtime, reconciles cross-hired gear, and updates live project profitability in your ERP.

Where the Cloudcon architecture makes the difference

For civil and mining contractors, capturing the data is only step one. Here is how Cloudcon’s ecosystem puts that data to work.

Connected Heavy Fleet & OEM Telematics

Beyond just capturing equipment notes from the field, Cloudcon connects directly to the heartbeat of your machinery. We pull live engine hours and fault codes via API from CAT, Komatsu, Volvo, and John Deere to completely automate your preventative maintenance schedules.

Native Job Costing & EBA Payroll

Field data should translate directly into financial action. Cloudcon automatically converts site hours into complex union EBA payroll calculations (travel, overtime, penalties) and maps your labour and plant costs directly to your live project budgets.

Proven Remote Offline Sync

Engineered from day one to operate in complete data blackspots. Operators on remote mine sites and regional civil corridors can complete pre-starts, dockets, and complex ITPs offline, with the database syncing seamlessly in the background once reconnected.

Seamless Transition

Already have dozens of forms in Dashpivot? We’ll migrate them for you.

Step 1: Form & Workflow Conversion

Send us your current Dashpivot templates and safety forms. We recreate them in Cloudcon as intelligent, connected workflows linked to your asset and personnel databases.

Step 2: System Integration

We connect Cloudcon directly to your telematics providers and ERP/accounting systems (Xero, MYOB, Jobpac, Vista) so your data flows automatically across the business.

Step 3: Site Training & Deployment

We train your site managers, allocators, and field workers. Our offline-capable app is so intuitive that crews pick it up on day one without site downtime.

FAQs

What is the main difference between Cloudcon and Dashpivot?

Dashpivot is primarily a flexible digital form builder for capturing safety, quality, and site logs. Cloudcon is a complete operational platform that combines form capture with native heavy fleet management, OEM telematics integration, real-time job costing, and automated union EBA payroll.

Can the digital timesheet software handle complex EBAs and civil Award rates?

Yes. Our timesheet module allows you to configure custom project rules, site allowances, and overtime triggers, ensuring that approved hours are perfectly mapped to your specific payroll requirements before export.

Can we export our existing form data out of Dashpivot into Cloudcon?

Yes. Cloudcon's onboarding team can import your existing historical data and rebuild your current Dashpivot form templates into Cloudcon's connected workflow system during implementation.

Do mobile timesheets work if the construction crew is out of mobile reception?

Absolutely. The Cloudcon workforce mobile app features full offline capability. Workers can clock in, submit dockets, and view their roster without a cellular signal. The app securely stores the data and instantly syncs the moment they return to coverage.

Does Cloudcon support Australian EBA award rates and award payroll?

Yes. Unlike Dashpivot, which only records hours on a form, Cloudcon features a built-in Award Interpreter that automatically applies complex Australian EBA rules, overtime penalties, and allowances before pushing clean data to payroll.

How does the workforce onboarding module handle temporary labour-hire?

You can easily send a digital onboarding link to temporary workers or labour-hire agencies via SMS or email. They complete their profile and upload their tickets from their phone, bringing them into your compliance ecosystem without requiring a permanent software license.
