Built for road construction subcontractors
Operations software for road construction subs working under prime contractors.
Traffic OS is the operations command center for road construction subcontractors working under prime contractors. Daily field tickets capture the GC superintendent's signature and GPS coordinates, frozen as audit copies. Per-project profitability rolls up labor (GPS clock), equipment (rental), and consumables (LIFO inventory). DOT-style monthly progress invoicing syncs to QuickBooks. Built for subs running 5–50 drivers, not single-tech residential service calls.
How road construction subcontractors use Traffic OS day-to-day
Prime contractor sign-off on every shift
End-of-shift ticket captures the GC superintendent's signature with GPS + timestamp. The audit copy is frozen and stored on the customer record + job — both you and the prime contractor have the same source of truth six months later.
Monthly progress invoicing aligned to DOT cycles
Group multiple shifts / tickets into a monthly progress invoice that matches the GC's billing cycle. Outstanding tickets that didn't make this month's cutoff carry forward automatically.
Per-project profitability with labor + equipment + consumables
Each project's P&L rolls labor (GPS clock hours × pay rate), equipment (rental days × rental rate), and consumables (LIFO COGS for items pulled from inventory) into a single margin report. Useful when bidding the next contract.
Audit trail for change orders and disputes
Every change order, ticket edit, and customer signature is logged with timestamp + user. When a dispute arises with the prime contractor, the audit log is the answer.
Why road construction subcontractors switch to Traffic OS
The pain points operators most often name when explaining why they outgrew a generic field-service platform:
- →GC sign-off paper trails get lost; disputes turn into 'whose word against whose'
- →Residential FSM software bills one job at a time, not monthly progress
- →Per-project profitability is invisible without rolling up labor + equipment + consumables
- →Change orders + dispute history isn't searchable in most platforms
