Compared with the alternatives
Pit & Rig vs FieldCap and Jobutrax.
FieldCap and Jobutrax digitise the field ticket. Pit & Rig puts your client on the other side of it — approving, seeing their PO burn down, free — and ties the tailgate to the ticket it covers. Four differences that come from who we built it for.
Where we're different
Your client is in the system, and they don't pay
FieldCap and Jobutrax are built for the service company. The owner's rep gets an email, a PDF, a link to sign. That's where their side of it ends.
In Pit & Rig the client has an account — free, permanently. They approve from a phone and see what they have committed against a PO. Budget allocation across contractors is available with the optional Control plan. A contractor doesn't send a ticket into a void and wait.
This isn't a feature either of them is missing. It's a different answer to who the software is for.
The safety record and the billing record are the same record
Everyone in this category does field tickets. Jobutrax also does safety forms and certificates. But an FLHA and a LEM live in separate places, and nothing reconciles them.
Pit & Rig links the hazard assessment to the ticket it covers and compares them: if someone signed on at the tailgate and isn't on the ticket — or is being billed and never signed on — it says so, on the ticket, before it's submitted.
That mismatch is normally found after an incident by someone holding both documents and asking why they don't match.
The price is on the website
Both competitors are demo-first: you request pricing and a salesperson calls you back.
Operations is $1,249 CAD a month. Control is $1,295 with unlimited users. Operations includes ten full users, then $40 per additional user per month. Operations and Pro start with a seven-day trial, no card, and you cancel from inside the app without phoning anyone.
You can decide whether we're worth it before you speak to us, which is how you'd rather buy anything.
It was built by someone who ran the pit
Pit & Rig is built by a working mine superintendent in northern Alberta — fifteen years across Yukon goldfields, northern BC mines, and Alberta oil, gas and mining.
That's not a credential, it's a design constraint. It's why a foreman never sees a rate, why the tailgate runs off a QR code instead of a passed-around tablet, and why the day's ticket is written and confirmed on site rather than reconstructed from memory on Friday.
Still the comparison most people are making
Most contractors aren't choosing between three products. They're choosing between software and the Excel file that's worked for eleven years.
