FieldRamp keeps your entire workday in one place. See today’s route, navigate between stops, complete checklists, record notes, chemicals and parts, and capture before-and-after photos. For pool service, enter water readings, check the LSI, and get dosage recommendations with clear product names and units. Work continues when the signal drops, then syncs when you’re back online. A FieldRamp business account is required.
SpecRecon

SpecRecon is the field-and-office companion for HVAC and mechanical subcontractors who bid Division 22 (Plumbing) and Division 23 (Mechanical) work. It turns the daily flood of plan-room activity into a clear, role-based pipeline — from the first project sighting through spec classification, estimating, pursuit, and order release. Built for how estimating teams actually work, SpecRecon keeps spotters, applications, estimators, and salespeople on the same page, so the right projects get pursued and nothing slips through the cracks. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Scouting Report — triage each day's flagged projects at a glance: verdict, engineer, bid date, and the competitors named in the documents. • Project Dossier — see your spec position, targets, and next action; call the engineer, clear out bad mentions, and route work to the right team in a tap. • Spec Intelligence — upload the plans, specs, and addenda and get the basis of design, approved-equal manufacturers, model numbers, and spec sections identified automatically. • Hunt Board — track every pursuit from bid sent, through GC award, to order release. • Reports — win/loss, pipeline value, and eligibility mix, filterable by owner, GC, engineer, manufacturer, and more. BUILT FOR TEAMS Role-based access keeps each person focused on their part of the workflow — spotting, spec classification, estimating, and pursuit — with a clean handoff trail so accountability is always clear. SUBSCRIPTION & ACCESS SpecRecon is a subscription service for mechanical and plumbing contracting companies. Access is granted by your company's administrator — there is no consumer sign-up, and nothing is sold inside the app. To explore without an account, tap "Demo Login" on the sign-in screen to load sample data.
