Know what every job actually made.
Hours × burdened rate, materials, machine time and fuel against what was collected. Margin per job, not per year.

Hardpan connects every call, dollar, machine and crew hour, then puts AI to work on it. More jobs won, every job priced from real cost, and nothing waiting on you at 9 p.m.

Works with what you already run
The Sunday-night spreadsheet.
Leads re-typed from voicemail.
The QuickBooks catch-up.
“What did that job actually make?” Still no answer.
Hardpan is the layer that was missing. You stop being the glue.
Hours × burdened rate, materials, machine time and fuel against what was collected. Margin per job, not per year.

A skid steer might cost $550 a day to run. The company behind it costs another $500: insurance, trucks, the shop, the office, the loan payments. Most contractors estimate from the first number. Hardpan shows you the full number, built from your actual spend, so you bid from cost instead of hope.

Call or text → lead → estimate → won → paid, by source. Answered-live rate.

Bank feeds, Jobber payments and the drafts you already know about, in one forecast. Budgets that measure against real spend.

Hours, idle, fuel and location from your machines' own telematics (Cat VisionLink). Cost per hour, per machine. Which one is losing money sitting idle. Loan drafts already in the forecast.

GPS-verified clock-in on their own phone, one tap. Photos and receipts land on the right job automatically. Hours ready for payroll. No timesheets.


Your crew doesn't learn a new system. They tap Clock in.
Applicants sorted by fit, W-2/1099 documents, agreements signed on the phone.

You don't need a consultant, a prompt, or a month to figure it out. Hardpan runs a team of AI agents built for this trade. One reads every call and text and turns it into a lead. One matches deposits to invoices. One watches the machines. One screens applicants. Each does the grunt work, then hands you the decision. Nothing changes in your business until you tap Confirm.

It has read every job, invoice, deposit, machine hour and text in your business, and it gets sharper the longer it runs.

Built by people who are in the business.
We know the pains because they were ours first. We run our own company on Hardpan, every day.
Running every day at a multi-crew excavation company. Not a demo.
Your books stay where they are. Hardpan is the intelligence layer on top.
Every bank transaction gets matched to a receipt, a job and a machine as it clears, so month-end is a review, not an archaeology dig. Your accountant keeps QuickBooks. The forty 'what was this?' questions every month stop.
The operating system for contractors who run fleets and crews.
Built for contractors who run fleets and crews: excavation, land clearing and forestry mulching, grading and site work, hauling, septic, paving, utilities. Runs on Jobber and QuickBooks today. On something else? Tell us what you run. The integrations are custom.
