SPADE turns five-minute daily logs from supervisors, storekeepers and mechanics into projections your managers can act on.

SPADE for a demo organisation, Northgate Contractors: what needs attention today and projections shown as ranges

The problem

Your reports are only as good aswhat the field writes down.

Site reporting isn’t a dashboard problem. It’s a data-capture problem — and it starts on a phone in the sun, with gloves on.

  1. 01

    Logs arrive days late

    Paper sheets and WhatsApp photos get typed up at the weekend — if at all. By then the week is gone.

  2. 02

    Spreadsheets total the past

    You know what was used last month. Nobody can say when the bitumen, the electrodes or the diesel run out on this site.

  3. 03

    The first warning is an idle crew

    A missing consumable, an overdue service, a breakdown — found when the work stops, not before.

Field capture · offline

Log the day in underfive minutes.

Pre-filled from yesterday’s crew, plant and work items. Big targets, a sunlight theme, no signal needed.

  • Works fully offline — records queue and sync later
  • Every record arrives exactly once: no lost logs, no duplicates
  • Photos carry EXIF time and GPS; uploads resume

Run-out, finish date, cost at completion and service due — a plain range, updated on every approved log.

  • Inputs, method and range on every number
  • Confidence says when the data is thin

One platform, whole site

From the store tothe service bay.

Materials, progress, cost, equipment and challenges live in one ledger — so every projection is built from the same daily truth.

  • E/1

    Stores & run-out

    Stock on hand, always derived from receipts, issues, transfers and counts.

  • E/2

    Plant & maintenance

    Meter and fuel logs predict the next service by real usage.

  • E/3

    Approvals that lock

    Configurable approval steps, comments on returns, a visible amendment trail.

  • E/4

    Challenges, solved once

    Log site problems, track them to resolution and keep the fix that worked for the next site.

  • E/5

    Your words, not ours

    Call a Site a “Spread” and Equipment “Plant” — across app, web, reports and alerts.

  • E/6

    Cloud or self-hosted

    One codebase and one release line. Run it with us or on your own servers.

Our principle

“Field adoption is the product. If logging takes longer than five minutes, it’s our bug.”

The SPADE team

Configured, not custom-built

Start from a template thatalready speaks your site.

Fixed core, configurable edges. Pilots are set up with the same admin tools every customer gets — then become the template for their industry.

Linear works · chainage

Progress by chainage

Pipelines, roads and highways, water mains and canals. Overlapping or out-of-route ranges are rejected at entry.

  • Pipelines: joints, welds and electrode norms
  • Roads: layers in m³ and tonnes, bitumen per tonne
  • Water: pipe by diameter, chambers and hydrotest
  • Handed over

Progress by phase, block and unit

Housing estates, industrial buildings, solar farms, earthworks and land development — every unit through its stages.

  • Estates: foundation to handover, norms per unit
  • Solar: piles, tables, modules and strings per block
  • Earthworks: zones, cells and plots, diesel per m³

Progress by machines and stock

Fabrication yards, workshops and generator fleets. No chainage, no blocks — hours, fuel, services and the stores ledger.

  • Yards & workshops: electrodes, gases and lifting certificates
  • Generator fleets: litres per hour, bands and days of fuel
  • Next service and cost per hour by real usage

FAQ

Questions fromsite teams.

Contact us
Does it work without signal?

Yes. Everything on the phone works offline. Records queue on the device and sync when there’s coverage — nothing lost, nothing doubled.

Which phones does it run on?

Android first, iOS supported. It is built for a mid-range Android phone, with big tap targets and a high-contrast sunlight theme.

How are projections calculated?

Each projection shows its inputs, its method and a range — for example stock ÷ weighted daily use, compared with supplier lead time. When data is thin, the confidence label says so.

Can we host SPADE ourselves?

Yes. The self-hosted edition is the same product: one container, PostgreSQL and S3-compatible storage, installed in under a day with Docker Compose.

Can we use our own words?

Yes. Rename core concepts — a Site becomes a “Spread”, Equipment becomes “Plant” — and it applies across the app, web, reports and alerts.

How do we get started?

Start a 15-day free trial on SPADE Cloud: create your account with your work email, name your workspace, choose a plan and add a card — you’re not charged until day 16. The setup wizard then takes you through your sites and team. Running SPADE on your own servers? Request self-hosting, or talk to sales for a guided setup.

Which industries is SPADE for?

Any contractor whose work is measured along a route, across blocks or at a yard: pipelines, roads and highways, water mains and canals, housing estates, industrial buildings, earthworks and land development, solar farms and mini-grids, fabrication yards and workshops, and generator fleets. Each starts from an industry template and is configured with the same admin tools.

Get started

Start your first site today, free for 15 days.
