The Asphalt Paving Invoice App Built for Heavy Highway & Driveway Bids

Why Asphalt & Paving Contractors Need a Dedicated Field Invoicing App

Asphalt and sealcoating contractors face fluctuating hot-mix plant tonnage prices, square footage calculations, and weather-dependent mobilization costs.

• Tonnage vs square footage calculations: Convert driveway square footage and compacted depth (2" vs 3") into accurate asphalt tonnage bids.
• Hot mix asphalt plant cost fluctuations: Adjust base material rates quickly to protect profits against refinery liquid asphalt price spikes.
• Multi-stage deposit and progress billing: Collect a 30% material deposit upon contract signing and final balance upon heavy roller compaction.
• Outdoor paving heat and bright sunlight: High-contrast UI designed for easy visibility under bright outdoor sun while standing on freshly paved asphalt.
