CASE STUDY / DIGGSLY

We built Diggsly around the way construction works.

We turned a construction team’s scheduling and payroll challenges into a software product built around their work. Working with Kraus-Anderson, we brought business understanding, product design, architecture, and development together in Diggsly.

WORKFLOW AT A GLANCE

One connected path through the work.

THE STARTING POINT

100+ jobs scheduled in Excel.

A superintendent coordinated labor across more than 100 jobs using a spreadsheet.

WHAT WE BUILT

Scheduling through payroll preparation.

A shared application connects time entry, review, and Vista-compatible export.

01 / THE CHALLENGE

Connect the work from the job site to payroll

Kraus-Anderson needed an easier way to coordinate field staff, collect time, and prepare payroll. A superintendent was scheduling labor across more than 100 jobs in Excel.

We designed Diggsly around that connected business process. Staffing decisions, recorded hours, and payroll preparation belong together. So do the people responsible for them in the field and in the office.

02 / OUR APPROACH

Business partners, architects, and builders

We worked directly with Kraus-Anderson’s office and field teams to design and build Diggsly. We brought their operational knowledge into product decisions, then turned those decisions into working software.

We introduced features progressively, put them in the hands of superintendents, and refined the product through their feedback. That close working relationship kept the architecture and development grounded in the business it needed to serve.

03 / WHAT WE BUILT

One workflow for the field and office

We built Diggsly to connect daily operations from staffing decisions through payroll preparation:

  • Scheduling: we give field and office teams a shared view of personnel across jobs.
  • Time entry: we connect hours worked to the right jobs and phases, with entry from the field or office.
  • Review and approval: we support timecard pre-approval, payroll groups, and lockout during finalization.
  • Payroll: we prepare time records for Vista-compatible export.
  • Job-site coordination: we bring site maps and personnel contacts into the same application.

The result is a product organized around the work itself, with scheduling, time, and payroll preparation connected in one place.

04 / THE IMPACT

Simpler coordination for the people doing the work

Diggsly simplified and automated scheduling coordination for Kraus-Anderson and earned positive employee feedback. We turned a practical business challenge into a product that connected the field and office.

That is how we approach our partnerships: understand the business, shape the architecture, write the software, and keep improving it with the people who use it.
