OnStation isn't a DWR replacement — it's what fills the gaps that AASHTOWare and Appia can't reach. How OnStation works alongside your existing documentation system without creating duplicate data entry.

Field crews on heavy highway projects are drowning in apps — and most of them go unused after onboarding. How to evaluate which tools crews will actually use, and what separates sticky field technology from shelfware.

What IT teams need to evaluate before approving a field app for road construction crews: security standards, integration requirements, deployment scale, and what questions to ask vendors before piloting.

Having a GIS team doesn't solve the field location problem. Why GIS and digital stationing serve different purposes — and what road construction crews actually need when they're standing on a job site without a station marker.

Lump sum contracts create documentation risk for CEI firms: scope disputes, out-of-scope work with no record, and closeout surprises. How to build a defensible documentation trail that protects your firm when the contract is challenged.

Eight real-world ways CEI inspection teams are using digital stationing — from density test documentation to DOT dispute resolution. Specific workflows, time savings, and what changes when every inspection is tied to a station.

Eight ways road construction contractors are using digital stationing to save time, cut costs, and win disputes. Real workflows from paving crews, prime contractors, and subcontractors — including Mathy Construction's $18K per technician savings.

How to build the internal case for new field technology at a road construction company — what decision-makers actually need to see, how to quantify the ROI, and how to get past 'we'll look at it next season.'

Construction workflows shift with the seasons—each phase offering a unique opportunity to improve planning, execution, and documentation. This article explores how digital stationing supports every stage of the construction calendar, from pre-construction planning to end-of-year reporting. If your team isn’t aligning project data by location year-round, you could be missing valuable insights and process improvements that compound over time.

Running a construction tech trial with tools like Procore, Trimble, HCSS, or OnStation? Don’t waste the opportunity. This guide breaks down the 5 most common myths that cause software pilots to fail in the construction and civil engineering industries—and shows how to turn free trials into valuable data, stronger team buy-in, and smarter decisions. Whether you’re evaluating project management software, field documentation platforms, or digital stationing tools, you’ll learn how to run a trial the right way—with full team involvement, measurable goals, and real jobsite impact.

If you're new to OnStation or helping someone on your team get started, these three features are the best place to begin; station finder, design layers, and flag & chat. They’re the core tools that help users navigate, understand their jobsite, and document work more effectively—no advanced training required.

An overview of OnStation’s licenses and how teams use them in the field.

Learn about 10 game-changing heavy highway projects where OnStation has played a crucial role in helping teams stay on track, reducing delays, and making sure there’s seamless communication in the field.

Managing inspection and field documentation on large-scale highway projects like Florida’s I-4 Corridor can be complex. Chris Lundberg, a senior CEI inspector at RS&H, uses OnStation to simplify and improve accuracy across a 13-mile section of this high-traffic Central Florida interstate. From asphalt milling to barrier placements, Chris geo-tags field notes and photos directly by station, eliminating guesswork and improving collaboration between contractors, DOT personnel, and inspection teams. By integrating location-based data in real-time, OnStation helps RS&H create faster, clearer, and more compliant documentation—ultimately boosting efficiency and accountability across the entire I-4 project.
