Case Study: Rumco Construction achieves reduced paperwork and real-time cost visibility with HCSS HeavyJob

Rumco Cuts Paperwork, Boosts Info Gathering With Hcss Heavyjob

Rumco Construction, a highway and street contractor, was relying on handwritten notes and text messages for daily cost reporting, which created duplicated data, mismatched production quantities and “three different sets of books” among superintendents, project engineers and accounting. The company needed a way to turn field staff into users of reliable data and gain real‑time visibility into job performance.

Rumco piloted and rolled out HCSS HeavyJob (alongside HeavyBid), enabling foremen to enter quantities from the field via a mobile app, generating automated daily/cumulative quantity and cost reports, custom notifications, and allowing estimators to compare bids to actuals. The change cut paperwork, eliminated data duplication, gave managers instant insight into exceptions and on‑track work, and increased real‑time awareness of operating costs across 25–30 active jobs.
