HETF

HETF replaces the paper a heavy equipment contractor fills out at the end of every shift on a wildfire assignment. Fill out the Emergency Equipment Daily Shift Invoice on the phone, collect both signatures on the screen — the contractor's and the government inspector's — and email the finished PDF to the incident's Finance section before you leave. No more carbon copies, no more waiting until you are back in cell range with a scanner. WHAT IT FILES • Emergency Equipment Daily Shift Invoice — the daily, dual-signed money form • After-Dispatch Roster (Exhibit J) — your equipment and crew as dispatched • Single Resource Shift Ticket (OF-297) — for a resource working on its own BUILT FOR THE PAPER, NOT AROUND IT Every form prints exactly like the printed original, in the same fixed rows and the same order, so a Finance clerk reads it the way they always have. The generic pre-printed equipment type is what prints — a Feller Buncher prints as a Feller Buncher, whatever you call your machine. FILL IT ONCE Your Company Profile — business details, equipment, operators, VIPR agreement number — fills in the top of every form. Set up a Task Force for a dispatch and every shift filed against it starts pre-filled with the incident, the agreement number and the resource order. THE REST OF THE SHIFT • Photograph receipts for reimbursable expenses as you go • Keep inspection reports, licences and agreements where you can reach them • Re-send any form you have already filed, to a new address or the same one • Add a dated note to a document after it has gone out — it becomes a new version, printed after the signatures, and the original stays exactly as it was signed • Invite a foreman so more than one person can file for the company WORKS WHERE THE WORK IS A signed invoice is never lost to a dead bar of signal. It is held on the phone and sent as soon as there is a connection, so you can close out a shift at the fire and let it deliver on the way down the hill. Sign in with Face ID. Everything is stored against your company account, so a new phone signs in and has your equipment, your crew and your history.
