Case Study: Ultra Engineering saves time and miles with Assignar

Ultra Engineering Saves 3.5 Days and 144 Miles Per Week with Assignar

Ultra Engineering, a Southern California air and vacuum excavation contractor, was managing jobs with paper calendars, carbon-copy job tickets, legal pads, and paper timesheets. As the company grew to 13 potholing rigs and multiple locating rigs, the manual process became difficult to track, slowed down payroll and log processing, and forced crews to make extra trips to the office.

Ultra Engineering implemented Assignar to centralize resource scheduling and digitize forms, timesheets, logs, and vehicle reports. With Assignar, the team cut payroll processing from two days to two hours, saved about 3 days of data entry per week on construction logs, eliminated a 144-mile weekly round trip for one crew, and said they saved 1–2 days each week overall while improving recordkeeping, maintenance tracking, and the professionalism of client reporting.
