PROThe pavement marking management platform
The money on a striping job is decided at the estimate, and it's made or quietly given back in the field. Spec-Rite® Pro is the operating system for pavement marking: one project record from the bid package to the final pay estimate, configured to your crews, your rates, your states and the systems you already run.
No sales call required.
63% of contract value in place
Sample job, synthetic data
Nothing gets re-typed between steps, and every finished job makes the next bid sharper.
One platform for the office and the field: bids, estimates, crews, live execution and pay estimates, for striping and pavement marking contractors.
01 · Bid intelligence
Drop in the package. Pro reads the proposal and specs and returns every pay item, quantity, unit and marking spec, each traced back to the page it came from. Liquidated damages, non-standard requirements and jurisdiction quirks get flagged, not guessed.
02 · Configured to you
Prevailing wage, payroll burden, crew makeup, equipment, mobilization, overhead and margin, all built your way rather than as a default. Change a wage or a material rate once and every open bid re-prices. Missing rates show up as a warning instead of quietly pricing at zero.
03 · Live execution
A won bid becomes a live project: a map colored by pay-item progress, percent of contract value in place, earned to date, value remaining, and a projected finish at your own trailing pace. Overruns and plan-vs-schedule gaps surface before the pay estimate, not after.
04 · The unfair advantage
We make the box on the truck. Your Skip-Line controllers already record footage, painting and moving time, material and calibration, shift by shift. Pro ties that to the bid automatically, by where the paint went, not by what someone typed as the job name.
What Pro catches
It's held out as uncategorized until the PM says what it was, so it never silently inflates progress or a pay estimate.
Sample job: 789,160 LF of re-profile first-pass paint held out, worth $560,303 if it had been billed as finished line.
Flagged per road above your threshold (110% by default), before it goes on a pay estimate.
Sample job: 31,465 LF over plan.
When the plan sheets and the schedule call for different quantities, you see it before painting and billing to the wrong one.
Sample job: White 6" solid, plans 1,470,961 LF vs. schedule 1,382,703 LF, an 88,258 LF ($43,246) gap.
Rumble strips and similar items are called out, so nobody assumes the dashboard covers them.
Sample job: $623,911 of prefabricated rumble strip.
Against the limit your equipment manager sets.
Every widget has to pass one test: does it show you something you didn't already know that saves money or makes money?
Sample thermoplastic job: synthetic data built to behave like a real one.
63%
of contract value in place: $1,234,167 earned of $1,969,514.
About 12 shifts
to finish at the last ten shifts' pace of 117,210 LF per shift and about 2.5 shifts a week.
39%
of shift time was painting. That's 76.9 painting hours out of 196.1 on the clock across 27 shifts.
About 49,000 LF
what one more painting hour is worth when white and yellow go down together, the truck's best configuration. That's roughly $23,000 at this job's unit prices.
41% OEE
and 50% with weather excused. Rain took 31.8 hours. Performance while painting was 89% and quality 98%.
Spec-Rite Online runs the work after the award and produces the reporting agencies ask for. It isn't going anywhere. Pro is new scope, not a patch.
| Spec-Rite Online What you run today | Spec-Rite Pro What's next | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the job starts | After the award. Work orders, crews, reporting. | At the bid document. Parse it, price it, submit it, then run it. |
| Pay item numbers | Work is recorded by job and road; tying it to the item number happens later, in a spreadsheet. | Every foot carries the pay item it bills against, from the estimate through the field. |
| The estimate | Lives in a spreadsheet on the estimator's machine. | Lives in the platform: wages, burden, crews, production rates, mobilization, markup, set to your method. |
| Bid packages | Read page by page and re-typed by a person. | Parsed into line items, quantities and spec rules, gotchas flagged, every item traced to its source page. |
| Progress | Percent complete, as reported. | Percent of contract value in place, earned to date, value remaining, projected finish at your trailing pace. |
| The map | SkyView shows where the crew worked. | The map colored by pay item, placed vs. remaining, with work that doesn't tie back to the bid flagged. |
| Alerts | Reporting gaps and compliance reminders. | Adds uncategorized work, overruns, plan-vs-schedule gaps and calibration due dates. |
| How it fits | One product, the same for every contractor. | Configured to your company, closer to an ERP implementation than an off-the-shelf install. |
A won bid drafts the crew-and-truck schedule from the estimate. You adjust it and commit it.
At-risk days flagged against spec limits.
Where agency bid history is public, see where you need to price to win.
Same controllers, same crews, same cabs. The hardware you own feeds the record.
Nothing about how your estimators estimate has to change. The work around it is what disappears.
The jobs, rates and production data already in Spec-Rite Online carry forward. You don't start from a blank page.
How Pro takes a job from bid package to pay estimate, and what changes if you already run Spec-Rite Online.
