In construction, there’s a longstanding culture of grinding it out.
Phone calls starting at 4 AM and running until well after dinner. Dozens, sometimes hundreds of calls, every single day. Schedules communicated over the phone, equipment tracked with whiteboards or notepads, and operations managed by memory. For a long time, this way of doing things was seen as a badge of honor.
At IVO Systems, we believe there's a better way.
We didn’t build our software just to streamline operations. We built it to make life easier for the people who make construction happen. Field crews, dispatchers, mechanics, superintendents, project managers. Everyone.
200 Phone Calls Shouldn’t Be the Norm
We’ve talked to customers who start getting calls before sunrise and don’t stop until bedtime. Not calls about solving big problems or improving jobs. Just the same daily questions: “Where am I headed?” “Is that machine available?” “Who’s hauling today?”
That level of noise wears people down. Our system puts all that information where it belongs - in one place, visible to everyone who needs it.
Whether you’re on a phone, tablet, or computer, you can quickly find the answer instead of chasing it down.
Give Your Field Crews Clarity Before the Day Starts
Waking up unsure of what you’re doing that day adds stress before the work even begins. Is it punch list work or a full production push? Will you be operating a dozer or digging by hand?
IVO's ScheduleVO notifications give your team the full picture the day before – or whenever you choose to send them. They’ll see where they’re going, what crew and vendors are involved, and what equipment is onsite. If the plan changes, they get the update automatically.
Knowing the plan ahead of time helps them show up prepared and ready to go. It’s a simple way to reduce mental strain and support your crew’s overall well-being.
Less Phone Tag, More Time for Real Work
Some of the biggest timewasters in construction are the simplest. Calling three people just to figure out where the mini excavator is. Wondering which crew is available next week. Waiting for someone to call you back so you can update a spreadsheet.
IVO eliminates a lot of that back-and-forth. TrackVO gives you a live view of all your equipment and attachments, organized by project. ScheduleVO shows every crew’s assignment in a simple, magnet board view. No more guessing. No more unnecessary calls.
And since we offer unlimited users (no licenses), everyone in your company can get the access they need without jumping through hoops.
Better Systems Make Room for Better Conversations
Replacing endless phone calls with a digital system doesn’t mean you lose the personal touch. If anything, you gain it back.
When you’re not swamped with basic check-ins and status updates, you have more time for the conversations that actually matter. Quick chats in the field. Thoughtful follow-ups with the shop. Leadership conversations that move the business forward.
This Is What IVO Was Built For
Many teams assume software can’t keep up with how fast construction changes. We heard that too. That’s why we made sure IVO works no matter where you are - whether you're in the field, in your truck, or back at the office - on your phone, tablet, or computer. It updates instantly and keeps everyone on the same page without extra effort.
At the end of the day, we didn’t build IVO to replace how you work. We built it to support it. The result? Your crews get home earlier. Your managers aren’t answering calls at dinner. And your whole company works with less stress and more confidence.
That’s what quality of life looks like in construction. And that’s what IVO is here to help you achieve.
