Productivity tracked.
Margin protected.
Log daily crew output by activity and quantity. Compare actual productivity to target rates. Flag which crews are behind before it becomes a margin problem — not after.
What it does
Daily productivity logging
- Log daily output per crew by activity (CY, LF, SF, tons, EA)
- Crew size and hours worked per activity
- Productivity rate calculated automatically (units per hour/crew)
- GPS or area reference for each production entry
Target vs. actual analysis
- Set target productivity rates per activity from your estimate
- Actual rate vs. target flagged by day and by crew
- Trend analysis over the job — improving or declining?
- Early warning when crews fall below target rate
Crew comparison
- Compare productivity across crews and shifts
- Identify high-performing crews and replicate their process
- Activity-level breakdown — where is the time going?
- Foreman-level data without micromanaging
Reporting
- Daily productivity summary per crew
- Weekly trending report for superintendent review
- Productivity data feeds into production log quantities
- Export to CSV for integration with estimating software
How it works
01
Set target rates from your estimate
Enter target productivity rates per activity from your bid. Gradelog uses these to benchmark field performance.
02
Log daily crew output
Each day, log the crew, activity, quantity completed, and hours worked. Takes 2 minutes at end of shift.
03
Review the productivity data
See actual productivity vs. target by crew, activity, and date. Spot underperformers before they impact your margin.
04
Act on the data
Adjust crew size, equipment, or methods for underperforming activities. Track the improvement in real time.
Who uses this
Project superintendents
Know which crews are hitting target and which aren't — before end of month when it's too late to fix.
Project managers
Productivity data from the field, not from a superintendent's hunch. Make staffing and equipment decisions with real numbers.
Company owners
Gross production trends across all jobs in one view. Know if you're on track to hit your margins before the job closes.

Common questions
How is crew productivity calculated in Gradelog?
Productivity rate is calculated as units completed divided by crew hours worked — giving you a consistent units-per-man-hour metric across activities. You can also track units per shift or per day depending on your preference.
Can I compare crews on the same job or across jobs?
Yes. Crew productivity data can be filtered by crew, activity, date range, or job. Comparing crews doing the same activity lets you identify process differences and replicate what's working.
Does productivity tracking work with the timecards module?
Yes. Timecard data (hours worked per crew per day) feeds into productivity calculations automatically when linked activities match. This reduces double-entry and ensures hours are consistent between payroll and productivity tracking.
Can I export productivity data to my estimating software?
Yes. Productivity data exports to CSV. Most estimating platforms (HCSS, Bid2Win, Heavy Bid) can import CSV for productivity database updates.
