Frequently asked questions

Construction companies across Canada that coordinate crews, heavy equipment and trucks across active jobsites: asphalt paving, road construction, civil, excavation and earthworks, and multi-crew contractors.

It serves the office (owners, operations managers, dispatchers and project managers) and the field (foremen, operators, drivers and labourers).

STRACTA is built around your workflow. Every client gets a version shaped to its crews, roles and workflow, because no two construction companies run the same way.

Your version is set up with your projects, people, crews, equipment and trucks, and with the terms your team already uses, so the board looks like your day. A paving company leans on broker trucks and plant timing; an earthworks contractor on equipment moves.

STRACTA is AI-powered operations software for construction companies, built around how each company works. The office plans and publishes the daily dispatch for crews, equipment and trucks. Foremen and crews see their part on a phone, report field issues and record daily production.

Tell STRACTA what you need, out loud or in a sentence, and it builds it into your dashboard. Everyone works from the same plan, and every day leaves a record.

The dispatcher edits the assignment and publishes an update, which becomes a new revision of the day's dispatch. Affected users get an in-app notification, and the change shows in their My Day.

Every revision stays on record, so it's always clear which plan is current and what changed.

Yes. Foremen record daily quantities, hours and photos from the field. Each project carries a production baseline, so a project manager can see progress against the plan the same day.

Materials records cover planned and recorded deliveries and installed quantities, and Reports and History keeps every day's record, with supported data ready to export.

Tell STRACTA what you need, out loud or in a sentence, and it creates the record in your dashboard.

For example, “Assign Marco D.'s crew and paver PV-03 to Harborview Corridor tomorrow at 7:00 AM” becomes an assignment on the board, so nobody punches in the details by hand.

Assignments on the daily dispatch, broker truck bookings, equipment moves and tasks. Each one appears as a normal record in the right place, filled in and ready to review and publish.

Either. Say it from the truck or type it at the desk. Your version of STRACTA knows your projects, crews, unit numbers and roles, so it understands requests the way your team talks about the work.

Yes. STRACTA is web-based. Office teams work on a computer, and field users sign in on their phones and use the field interface, built around five tabs: My Day, Report, Chat, Tasks and More.

The day's assignment: the project, the crew start time, the first load, the equipment and trucks, and the work planned. From the same screen, the foreman acknowledges the assignment and can report a field issue.

At the end of the shift, the foreman records daily production from the Report tab.

The foreman reports it from the phone, for example a broker truck down at the paver. It appears as an attention item for authorized users in the office.

The dispatcher can then change the assignment and publish an update, and the affected crews see the revised plan in My Day.

Yes. STRACTA uses role-based access. Administrators invite users, assign roles and manage permissions, and each person sees what their role allows.

Your version of STRACTA is set up with the roles your company actually uses, from the owner and the dispatcher to foremen and field crews.

Your company's administrators invite them. Each person joins through their invitation and is given a role, which decides what they can see and do.
