811spotter is Now an HCSS Marketplace Partner.

811spotter is Now an HCSS Marketplace Partner. Irth: Published September 30, 2026 I'm thrilled to announce that 811spotter is now an HCSS Marketplace partner. Why is this collaboration significant for contractors? Rateb Almasri, Senior Product Manager of Partnerships at HCSS, sums it up best: "Integrating with 811spotter will help HCSS customers eliminate double entry by pulling jobs and cost codes from HeavyJob & your ERP to ensure your 811 tickets are tagged with consistent data to form a best-in-breed solution." As I often say, nobody gets into the construction business to manage 811 tickets - people get into this business because they like to build stuff. 811spotter makes it radically easy to track, document and communicate ticket information between office and field teams. And now, through its integration with HCSS's project management systems like HeavyJob, contractors can streamline operations, eliminating redundant data entry and ensuring consistent data across projects. Beyond fulfilling legal compliance, 811spotter empowers contractors to pre-plan jobs, identify hazards and maintain on-site visibility. The overall result is massive operational uptime. For instance, MGE Underground managed 12,000 tickets in a year with its system, significantly improving their operational efficiency. This partnership represents more than an alliance between two companies; it signifies a commitment to revolutionizing construction project management. Irth Solutions, L.L.C. is excited about this new chapter with HCSS and look forward to driving more innovations in the industry. Read more on HCSS's website. Thank you for your continued support and trust in 811spotter. Here's to a safer, more efficient future in construction management!
