BigChange Doesn't Fix Your Locate Documentation Problem
BigChange has no native locate auditing, ticket remark alert, or geotagged locate documentation retention workflows.
How Locate Documentation Actually Works With BigChange
The Real Scenario
Locate tickets are reviewed in the field, but utility mark coordinates and proof-of-locate photos are kept on paper and text strings, creating audit liabilities.
What BigChange Does Well
BigChange is a capable field service management tool. It handles:
- +Job scheduling and dispatch
- +Basic invoicing and payments
- +Customer contact management
- +Mobile job status updates
Where BigChange Falls Short
But when it comes to locate documentation, BigChange leaves a gap:
- −Lacks native locate log integration
- −No validation engine for digital safety reports
- −Requires manual matching for timesheet exceptions
Signs You Have a Locate Documentation Problem (Even With BigChange)
- !Locate tickets printed and sorted by hand each morning
- !Locate verification photos stored in personal phone camera rolls
- !No system tracks ticket expiration — missed update/remark windows
- !Damage claims require weeks of paper reconstruction
The Cost of Leaving This Gap Open
Underground utility damage costs $30 billion/year nationally. Digging on an expired locate ticket means full repair liability ($10K–$200K+), statutory fines, and voided insurance.
BigChange Can't Fix This Because:
BigChange has no native locate auditing, ticket remark alert, or geotagged locate documentation retention workflows.
BigChange is a field service management tool — it wasn't built to solve locate documentation problems at the field level. That's what we build.
