Production Progress Monitoring

Ensure work is completed on time and documented accurately. Stay on top of installed quantities, milestones, and deliverables with granular production tracking. Vitruvi links field updates directly to scopes of work, ensuring billing and project timelines stay on track. Field tracking also supports resource tracking, measuring how efficiently crews, equipment, and materials are utilised to complete work.

  • Log installed quantities by unit, location, and date
  • Tie production data to work breakdown structures and cost codes
  • Compare planned vs. actual progress with visual indicators
  • Provide verification for invoicing, change orders, and compliance
  • Track input versus output, identify bottlenecks, and improve forecasting for future bidsa

GPS & Geospatial Integration

Location matters. Visualize field activity with location-aware tracking. Vitruvi overlays your field data on real-time geospatial maps to give you spatial context and enable smarter deployment decisions. Tools are optimized for minimal battery impact and data privacy – tracking only time, location, and activity details relevant to your projects, never personal information.

  • Tag updates with GPS coordinates automatically
  • View work progress by location on interactive maps
  • Filter and sort field data by region, crew, or work type
  • Ensure compliance with spatial constraints and permitting

Payroll, Change Orders, and T&M Ticketing

Manage out-of-scope work and time-and-material (T&M) tickets directly from the field. Vitruvi’s field tracking tools allow crews to document changes as they occur—linking labor and materials to the appropriate cost codes and sending instant notifications to office teams. This integration accelerates change order approval and ensures payroll data is captured accurately, reducing back-and-forth between field and finance.

  • Log T&M tickets directly from the field to capture out-of-scope work
  • Notify office teams instantly for review and approval
  • Push verified field data into payroll or accounting systems automatically

Frequently Asked Questions

What is field tracking software in construction?

Field tracking software in construction is a digital tool that captures real-time data from the jobsite, such as crew activity, equipment usage, material deliveries, and progress updates. Its core purpose is to improve jobsite visibility, reduce reliance on manual processes like paper logs or spreadsheets, and bridge the gap between field and office teams. With tools like Vitruvi, data flows automatically to dashboards, allowing all stakeholders to stay informed and aligned throughout the build.

Why is field tracking important for construction projects?

Accurate field tracking is essential for staying on schedule and within budget. It provides teams with a live pulse on jobsite activity, enabling faster decision-making, more precise resource allocation, and improved communication across roles. Field tracking also supports production tracking, safety and compliance documentation, and billing accuracy, ensuring that time and materials are logged correctly and backed by real data.

Who benefits from using field tracking software like Vitruvi?

Many roles across construction teams benefit from field tracking software.

  • Field crews can easily record daily activities and progress without extra paperwork.
  • Site supervisors gain a clear view of what’s happening on-site, helping them coordinate labor, equipment, and materials more efficiently.
  • Project managers use the data to stay on top of schedules, resolve issues more efficiently, and keep stakeholders informed.
  • Finance teams gain accurate, real-time records for billing, payroll, and cost tracking.
  • Executives benefit from top-level visibility across projects, helping them make more informed decisions regarding timelines, budgets, and resource allocation.

What kind of support and training does Vitruvi offer to its users?

Vitruvi is committed to providing comprehensive support and training to its users. From initial onboarding to ongoing customer support, Vitruvi offers learning on demand, as well as tailored training programs and responsive assistance, to ensure that users feel confident and empowered throughout their project management journey.

What kind of scalability does Vitruvi offer, particularly for growing construction firms or projects of varying sizes?

Vitruvi offers scalability that accommodates growing construction firms and projects of varying sizes. Its features are customizable and adaptable, allowing users to scale up as needs arise. Whether managing small-scale projects or overseeing large-scale construction endeavors, Vitruvi is made to support growth and changing requirements.

Does Vitruvi integrate with other construction management tools used in the construction industry?

Yes, Vitruvi integrates seamlessly with other construction management tools in the construction industry. This integration ensures the smooth exchange of data between Vitruvi and other software systems. The result is improved workflow efficiency and collaboration between project stakeholders.

How does field tracking software help with payroll and change orders?

Field tracking software simplifies payment and change order management by capturing accurate, real-time data from the jobsite. Crews can log time, materials, and out-of-scope work directly in the app, generating digital timecards or T&M tickets that sync instantly with office systems. This eliminates duplicate entry, speeds up approvals, and ensures everyone—from field teams to accounting—works from the same source of truth.

Does field tracking software use GPS tracking or geofencing?

Yes, many field tracking platforms use GPS-enabled tracking or geofencing to log when crews arrive or leave specific jobsites. These features help ensure accurate time records and improve transparency across dispersed teams. Vitruvi’s mobile tools use GPS tags for context and accountability, but always prioritize user privacy and efficiency.

What about device battery life and privacy?

Modern field tracking apps are designed to run efficiently in the background, using minimal battery power. They only capture information relevant to project work—such as time, location, and activity updates—and do not access messages, files, or personal data. This balance allows field teams to stay connected and accountable without sacrificing privacy or device performance.

What should I look for in field tracking software?

When evaluating field tracking tools, look for features that streamline both field and office workflows, including:

  • Real-time, mobile-friendly data capture (online and offline)
  • Integration with project management and financial systems
  • GPS or geospatial context for tracking work locations
  • Automated time and attendance recording
  • Reporting and analytics for productivity and budgeting
  • Strong privacy standards and ease of use for field teams

Vitruvi brings all of these capabilities into one connected platform designed specifically for construction and infrastructure projects.

Which software is best for tracking?

The best tracking software depends on your team’s needs and industry. In construction, field tracking tools should provide real-time visibility into crew activity, production progress, and resource usage—ideally integrating with your scheduling, payroll, and reporting systems. The most effective platforms are mobile-friendly, easy for crews to use, and designed to seamlessly connect field and office operations.

Is it legal for employers to use employee monitoring software?

In most cases, it’s legal for employers to use monitoring software if it’s done transparently and for legitimate business purposes—such as tracking project hours, verifying jobsite activity, or ensuring equipment safety. Regulations vary by region, so companies should always inform employees about what data is being collected and how it’s used. Responsible use of tracking tools helps improve accountability and efficiency without compromising privacy.
