The Complete Civil & Fleet Ecosystem. Not Just a Site Diary
Job costing tells you what you spent. Operational control prevents margin erosion
Tracking daily job costs in isolation is reactive - it shows where money was lost after the shift has ended. Cloudcon takes a field-first, operational approach: we control the inputs before they become financial losses.

Where Cloudcon pulls ahead
Native Heavy Fleet & Telematics
A cost-only tool doesn't know if a machine is running or sitting idle. Cloudcon connects directly to factory telematics to pull live engine meter reads, automatically triggering maintenance work orders and populating dry/wet hire dockets.
Built-In Union EBA Interpreter
Collecting timesheets is only half the battle. Cloudcon's built-in award engine automatically calculates ordinary hours, overtime multipliers, night shift penalties, and travel allowances before pushing clean data straight to payroll.
Enterprise Integration & Scalability
As your business grows from SMB to Tier-1 contracting, Cloudcon scales with you. We provide deeper, managed API integrations into enterprise ERPs (Jobpac, Viewpoint, SAP) alongside standard Xero and MYOB connections.
Worried about the pain of switching software?
You don’t have time to spend weeks configuring software. Our local Australian onboarding team handles the heavy lifting so your crews don’t experience site downtime.
FAQs
What is the main operational difference between Cloudcon and Varicon?
While Varicon focuses primarily on daily site cost tracking and site diaries, Cloudcon is a complete operational platform. Cloudcon integrates heavy fleet telematics (CAT, Komatsu), native EBA award interpretation for payroll, and HSEQ compliance hard-blocks alongside project cost controls.
How long does it take to migrate from Varicon to Cloudcon?
Most implementations take between 2 to 4 weeks. Cloudcon’s Australian-based team manages the entire data migration, form setup, and ERP integration configuration for you to ensure zero disruption to active sites.
Can Cloudcon handle complex union EBA rules for wet hire operators?
Yes. Cloudcon features a built-in EBA Award Interpreter that automatically calculates ordinary hours, overtime thresholds, travel allowances, and shift penalties directly from approved field dockets before pushing data to payroll.
