Fieldwire is a strong choice for plans and punch workflows. SimplySub is focused on daily field execution for subs, track time, job logs, photos, and materials per job.
Fieldwire is excellent when drawings and tasks drive the day. But clearing and grading crews also need simple daily production capture, timecards by job, progress notes, photos, and materials. When the tool feels more like plan management than dirt work documentation, teams look for a jobsite-first system like SimplySub.
Even with strong plan tools, payroll still needs job-based time. If timecards are outside the system, the daily record breaks.
Dirt work changes fast. Progress photos are most useful when they are attached to the daily log and notes, not scattered across tasks and threads.
Stone, pipe, fabric, trucking, and fuel add up fast. Without simple daily material capture per job, you lose margin quietly.
