Fieldbase for excavation and site work
Crew scheduling and dispatch software for excavation and site work.
The excavator is on the trailer, the locate is cleared for today only, and your operator is not answering. Fieldbase is built for that minute: it shows you who can cover, moves them in one drag, and tells the crew before the trucks leave.
Free for 6 months. No card, no sales call, set up in three minutes.
Operators by machine

Machines and who is hauling them
On the board every morning, next to the people and the jobs, so the answer is already there when you need it.
Repairs that take a machine off the board
On the board every morning, next to the people and the jobs, so the answer is already there when you need it.
What a excavation company gets
- A dispatch board that proposes the day. Fieldbase starts tomorrow from what you did today: same crews, same excavator and the lowboy, same a utility trench if it is still running. You correct, you publish.
- The 6am rebuild. A operator calls out and the board shows who is free, who is qualified, and who is closest. Drag them in. The crew is told.
- Crew app in three languages. Every operator sees their crew, their truck, and their first stop in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, by text or in the app.
- Trucks and equipment with repair tickets. When the excavator and the lowboy goes down, the ticket goes to the bench and the board knows the crew needs a different rig.
- Time off, call-outs, and coverage. Requests come in from the crew app, decisions go back, and the board already shows the gap.
- Not a CRM. No estimates, no invoices, no marketing automation. Fieldbase does the morning and stays out of the rest.
Questions excavation and site work owners ask
Is Fieldbase built for excavation and site work companies?
Yes. Fieldbase is crew scheduling and dispatch software for any business that sends crews out in the morning, and excavation and site work is one of the trades it is used for. You set up your crews, your excavator and the lowboy, and your jobs, and Fieldbase builds each day from what you did last time.
What does it cost?
Fieldbase is free for your first 6 months, with every feature and unlimited crew members. No card and no sales call to start. Paid plans are announced before your free period ends, and crew members in the field never cost anything.
Does my crew need to install an app?
No. Excavation crews get their day by text message in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, or in the Fieldbase crew app on any phone if you would rather not text. Nothing to install from an app store.
How is this different from a CRM or an estimating tool?
Fieldbase is not a CRM. It does not do estimates, invoices, or marketing. It does the morning: who is on which crew, in which truck, on which job, and what to do when that plan breaks at 6am.
How long does setup take?
About three minutes to create your team with a phone number, then add people, crews, and trucks at your own pace. Most owners publish their first real day the same morning.
