Solutions · Earthworks & civil

Bid from data,
not from memory.

You price the next job on what the last one actually cost. Talos measures every cycle, every crew, every day — so the estimator, the site manager and the owner are looking at the same numbers.

What you're trying to fix

The jobs earthworks & civil bring to Talos.

If your version of the problem isn't on the list, tell us — we've probably seen it.
  • Count real cycles per excavator and dumper, per shift, per crew.
  • Understand productivity per operator without micromanaging anyone.
  • Feed the estimator honest numbers on what a cubic metre costs to move.
  • Catch bottlenecks between diggers and haulers before the day slips.
  • Reconcile plan vs actual by end-of-day, not end-of-week.
  • Prove volumes moved to the client with a data trail, not a photo.
Outcomes

What changes in the first 90 days.

Cycle-level productivity.

Every dig, swing, load and haul, timed and counted. Aggregated per machine, crew or job.

  • Cycles per hour per machine
  • Digger–hauler chain analysis
  • Operator scorecards without surveillance

Plan vs actual, live.

Import the day plan, see it fill in as machines work. End-of-day reconciliation takes minutes, not hours.

  • Volumes and hours vs plan
  • Daily site report auto-generated
  • Client-ready progress PDF

Numbers your estimator trusts.

Feed the next bid with what actually happened on the last one — cost per cubic metre, per hour, per crew mix.

  • Cost per m³ per machine class
  • Historical unit rates by soil type
  • Export to your estimating tool
How it fits your week

From telemetry to work order, without the busywork.

  1. 01

    Instrument.

    OEM feeds where available, retrofit gateways for older diggers and dumpers.

  2. 02

    Plan.

    Import the day plan and crew assignments; machines pick up the right job automatically.

  3. 03

    Work.

    Cycles counted live, bottlenecks flagged, operators supported not surveilled.

  4. 04

    Report.

    End-of-day report to the client and back-office. Estimator gets the numbers for the next bid.

FAQ

Straight answers.

How is a 'cycle' detected?
Combination of engine load, hydraulic activity, position change and OEM signals. We tune per machine class during setup.
Do we need to change how our operators work?
No. Nothing changes in the cab. Everything is measured from the signals the machine already emits.
Can we integrate with our estimating tool?
Yes — CSV, webhook or REST. Common integrations include RIB, Trimble and B2W.
