OnStation, a mobile app that allows road construction crews to easily locate people, assets and physical conditions, is gaining traction on projects throughout the U.S. The app’s maker, PROJiTECH, raised $1.4 million in a seed funding round this summer.
Developed in 2014 by a former Ohio Dept. of Transportation engineer, OnStation helps project members visualize key aspects of a roadway site such as rights-of-way, signage, utilities, drainage and pavement markings. It can record and organize project discussions and documents; provide instant access to current contract documents; and let users annotate entries with text, images and mark-ups, along with date, time and location stamps for anything seen on site.
