Daily Production Report
One tap, from the field, as a PDF. Project header, production by pay item, quantities, station limits, quantity to date, percent complete, field notes. Done before he leaves the job — not back at the trailer at 8pm.
Know today if you're behind.
Not next Thursday.
Hobon is a mobile-first production control app for horizontal construction. Your superintendent reports placed quantities by station from his phone, standing on the job. You see quantity, dollars and schedule the same day — not after somebody types it up.
Book twenty minutes
Real screen from the build — FDOT pay items, US units, stationing.
Sound familiar?
Three things that cost you money before anybody notices.
Today's quantities are in a field book, a text thread, and somebody's truck. They reach the office Thursday.
The same station got reported twice, and you found it at the pay estimate.
You lost eleven days to weather this season, and you can prove nine.
What you get
Three documents your job already runs on.
Management Report
Planned vs. placed vs. billed. This period and to date. In quantity, in dollars, in percent, with the variance called out. One PDF for the owner's meeting.
Progress Billing
Your pay estimate, built from the same daily entries the superintendent already made. By pay item, unit, quantity and station limits. Nobody rebuilds it in Excel.
Why it's not the software you already turned down
Built the way the job is measured and paid.
It's built on stationing.
Hobon tracks work from station to station, by roadway and lane — the way the job is actually built, measured and paid. Not markups on a PDF plan sheet.
The field never opens a laptop.
The superintendent works on his phone. The web panel is for the office: loading the contract and correcting entries. English or Spanish, per user, on the same job.
It catches double-reported work the moment it happens.
Report a station that was already reported, and the app says so on the spot — who reported it and when — and asks you to call it: billable to the owner, or your cost. That's the difference between a change order and a write-off you find in month three.

Also in the app
The rest of what a job runs on.
S-curve. Planned, placed and billed on one chart.
Automatic alerts. No activity for N days; plan-vs-placed deviation over your threshold; gap between placed and billed; a pay item running out of contract quantity before the work is done. You set every threshold.
Cost control. Direct and indirect WBS budget, incurred cost, job P&L.
Change orders. Resource breakdown with document backup.
Delay log. Every non-working day by cause: holiday, owner, weather, Sunday, outside factor. Full day or half. Each one requires its backup at the time it happens — minutes, photos, reference documents, letter number. The month summary shows you which days are still undocumented, while you can still go get the paper.
Excel import. Your pay items, schedule and budget load from a template. You don't retype the contract.
The pilot
Free. 60 to 90 days.
One project you pick.
One project you pick.
- We do the setup. Send us the files you already have — pay item schedule, project schedule, budget — and we load them.
- What we ask in return: your crew actually uses it in the field, one designated contact, and 30 minutes with us every two weeks.
- Your data is yours. Export it any time, including if you walk away.
- No price discussion during the pilot and no obligation to continue after it.
Who we are
Early, and saying so.
Hobon is early. We have no client logos to show you, because you'd be among the first. It's built by a project manager with twenty years on highway jobs, and we're developing it with a small number of contractors in Florida — what you tell us in those biweekly calls is what gets built next.
If you want finished software from a large vendor, that's Procore, and it will cost you accordingly. If you want a production tool that works the way your job is actually measured, and a say in how it works, this is the window.
