The customer relationship, in one place
Interactions with follow-ups
The customer list says how many open follow-ups you are carrying, so the ones that matter do not go quiet.
Pipeline from the real status
Lead, estimating, bid sent, won, in progress — read from the projects themselves. There is no second status to fall out of sync.
Every job they ever gave you
With what each one was bid at and what it actually returned.
Vendors and subs, with their insurance dates

Where no certificate is on file, EARTHVOQ says “no certificate on file” rather than showing a dash that reads as fine. Vendors are retired, never deleted — purchase orders reference them.

That committed figure is the one that changes whether a job is really under budget — see it against budget and actual.
Change orders move the contract, not the original

Approving a change order is its own permission, because it moves contract money. A deduction is a negative change order; a mistake on an approved one is corrected by another, the way a sent proposal is revised rather than rewritten.
The week, on one board
The schedule is a planning surface, not an authority. What actually happened comes from the field day, and the two are allowed to disagree — that disagreement is usually the interesting part.
What this page is not about
“Contractor management” sometimes means qualifying and monitoring outside contractors for compliance — insurance verification services, safety pre-qualification, workforce vendor management. EARTHVOQ does none of that. This is the management side of running your own excavation company: your customers, your suppliers, your subs, your commitments and your week.
