OnStation
OnStation provides a mobile and web platform that gives road construction crews instant GPS-based station and offset location on any phone, eliminating the need for physical stakes and expensive rovers. The platform automatically geo-stamps photos, notes, and flags with station and timestamp data, creating defensible records for DOT audits and dispute resolution. It integrates with tools like HCSS HeavyJob and Trimble, and is used by over 400 contractor organizations and 9 state DOT agencies.

Problem
Road construction crews waste significant productive time searching for physical station markers, and paper-based documentation is difficult to defend when disputes arise with agencies like the DOT. Location uncertainty across crews, daily operations, and documentation drives rework, disputes, and lost margin on highway projects.
Solution
OnStation is a mobile and web application that gives every person on a road construction crew an instant, live station reference on any phone or tablet. The GPS Station Finder shows exact station, offset, and design layer data without requiring stakes, rovers, or phone calls. Every photo, note, and flag is automatically geo-stamped with station and timestamp information, feeding a searchable Data Portal that creates defensible records for audits and dispute resolution. The platform integrates with existing construction management tools and provides a shared workspace for contractors, inspectors, and DOT staff.
Target Audience
OnStation serves highway prime contractors, CEI inspection firms, and state DOT agencies across road construction projects, with field crews, density technicians, and inspectors as the primary daily users.
