Machine tracking
Excavation equipment tracking app for job assignments
SpoilStack shows which job each machine is assigned to, so owners and foremen know where the excavator, dozer, skid steer, backhoe, loader, or truck is supposed to be.
Use it when the question is
- Where is the 330 today?
- Which machines are assigned to Maple Street?
- What moved between jobs this week?
- What equipment history belongs in the job record?
Track assignments, not dots on a map
SpoilStack is intentionally simple. It tracks which job a machine belongs to and when assignments change. It is not GPS tracking, telematics, or maintenance software.
Machine history stays with the job
Equipment history is part of the job record alongside daily logs, photos, haul counts, plan markups, documents, and closeout exports.
Reassign from the office or field
When a machine moves, the job assignment can move with it so the crew and owner are looking at the same record.
Track hours, not just location
SpoilStack logs machine hours per machine per job, so you know how long the 330 actually ran on Maple Street, not just that it was assigned there. Hours roll up into weekly totals and a utilization heatmap, and feed the daily logs and closeout package. It tracks hours for the record, not fuel, GPS, or hourly cost.

Frequently asked questions
Does SpoilStack track live GPS location?
No. SpoilStack tracks machine job assignments. That keeps it simple for small excavation crews and avoids turning the product into fleet telematics.
Can machines move between jobs?
Yes. Machine reassignment is a core part of SpoilStack because excavation equipment moves between job sites.
Can equipment history be exported?
Yes. Equipment history can be included in a job closeout package with the rest of the job record.
Does SpoilStack track machine hours?
Yes. SpoilStack logs machine hours per machine per job, with weekly totals and a utilization heatmap. It tracks hours for the field record and closeout, not fuel, GPS, or hourly cost.
