Case Study: Tri-State Drilling achieves real-time project visibility and stronger cash flow with HCSS

Tri-State Drilling Goes from 18 Different Programs to One Software Solution

Tri-State Drilling, a specialist in drilled foundations for electrical transmission lines, was struggling with manual processes, phone-based communication, and limited real-time visibility into job costs. The company needed a single platform to improve forecasting, track change orders, and keep field and office teams aligned, so it turned to HCSS and its HeavyJob software.

HCSS implemented HeavyJob to consolidate 18 different programs into one system, supported by training and new workflows for time entry, forecasting, and project tracking. The results included real-time job health insights, better forecasting, smoother billing, improved cash flow, and a successful $1.2 million change order award; Tri-State also reported reduced errors and a shift from reactive to proactive decision-making.
