Market position
The company describes itself as a leading ERP and dispatch software provider for the heavy equipment services industry, with hundreds of customers across North America, Europe and Australia. Its investor Wavecrest framed the thesis that construction subcontractors represent the next wave of construction technology adoption after general contractors.
The company presents its platform as combining SaaS office systems and field mobile applications in one connected solution linking in-office and in-field operations, spanning dispatch through invoicing and payment for equipment-intensive service trades. A customer survey cited by the company reported an average 95% improvement in accuracy for operator hours, 66% fewer chargebacks and a 44% increase in same-day, second-round jobs.
Technology
The offering combines cloud/SaaS office applications (Rapid ERP, Visual Dispatch) with telematics GPS tracking and the Rapid On-the-Go iOS mobile app used by field operators for viewing daily and past jobs, managing job tickets, clocking in and out, routing to jobs, verifying job site locations, driver vehicle inspection reports (DVIR) and hours-of-service logging. The mobile app records location at defined events such as sign-in, job site verification and DVIR/HOS posting, and periodically while an operator is clocked in.
Go-to-market
Direct sales to equipment-focused subcontractors, supported by customer case studies and testimonials, demo requests on the company website, industry press releases, and an email industry digest; the 2023 executive expansion added a chief sales officer and a chief product and marketing officer to pursue new and existing markets.
Heavy equipment services companies and construction subcontractors, including concrete pumping, crane rental and hoisting, hydrovac excavation, aggregate and heavy hauling, traffic control, and drilling and boring operators; referenced customers include Brundage-Bone, Concrete Pump Partners, Kinetic Industry, Davis Crane, Capital Concrete Pumping, CF&T Concrete Pumping, Ramcrete Concrete Pumping, AME, Inc. and Groundbreakers.
