## Resource

In this episode of the Excavation Profits Podcast, Scott Andreasen interviews Andrew Drish, founder of SmartCrewHQ—an all-in-one construction management software built specifically for small to mid-sized excavation and heavy equipment contractors. SmartCrewHQ helps contractors simplify time tracking, job costing, and crew management through an easy-to-use mobile platform designed for field teams, not office staff. Andrew shares how contractors can move away from paper timecards and disconnected systems by using tools like GPS-based time tracking, real-time job cost visibility, and integrated reporting—all designed to reduce admin time and improve profitability. If you’re running a crew and feel like you’re constantly guessing where your money is going, this episode will give you a clearer path to running more efficient, profitable projects.
