The same number from takeoff to the pay app.
Estimating, purchasing, job cost, dispatch, compliance, and billing on one record — so nothing gets re-typed, re-priced, or lost between the field and QuickBooks.
Starting at $495 per company. Priced during onboarding based on modules and users.
Built by a contractor. Running live on real jobs, not a demo dataset.
The two-minute version
Watch what the system actually does.
Runs 1:55, with sound. It is a walk through real screens — takeoff, purchase orders, job cost, billing — so it starts when you press play, not before.
The actual problem
Your numbers already exist. They just don’t agree.
Most contractors don’t lack software. They have an estimating tool, a spreadsheet for job cost, a text thread for dispatch, a folder of PDFs for compliance, and accounting software that finds out last. Every handoff is a retype, and every retype is a chance for two systems to hold different truths about the same job.
01The estimate never becomes the budgetTakeoff quantities get retyped into a job cost sheet, so the estimate and the budget drift apart on day one.
02Committed cost is invisible until the bill arrivesPurchase orders live outside the job cost, so you find out you're over when the invoice shows up, not when the order is placed.
03Billing is rebuilt by hand every monthSomeone reopens the contract, rebuilds the schedule of values in a spreadsheet, and recalculates retainage from memory.
04An empty screen looks the same as a working oneA dashboard reading zero because nothing loaded is indistinguishable from a dashboard reading zero because there is nothing to do.
Modules
Install what your work actually needs.
Every screen belongs to exactly one module, and each company installs its own set. Navigation, dashboard tiles and permissions are all derived from that — so a hauling company never gets handed a billing screen no load could satisfy.

Silverback intelligence
It prepares the next move. Your people approve it.
Silverback reads the same records the crews and the office already write — jobs, bids, purchase orders, bills, tickets, compliance dates — and turns them into a ranked queue of decisions with the evidence attached to each one.
- Operational truth
- Every recommendation cites the record it came from. If the source is missing it says so instead of estimating.
- One ranked queue
- What needs attention now, in order, across every company you own.
- Company context
- It knows your cost codes, your crews, your vendors and how you bill, so the advice is about your business rather than construction in general.
- Human authority
- Nothing consequential happens without a person approving it. No autonomous spending and no autonomous commitments.
It also reads vendor invoices into the system rather than having them retyped, and does quantity takeoff from drawings.
The product
Every screen is scoped to one company and one role.
You pick the company at the top. Everything below it — navigation, records, tiles, totals — is filtered to that company and to what your role is allowed to see. There is no view where two companies’ numbers are added together by accident.
app.baddaddyoperations.com/mission-control
See the whole company in one place.
The day opens on the decisions actually waiting on you — a bill to approve, a machine due for service, work that is ready to bill — instead of a wall of charts.
Real screens from the running product, captured on a demo company. The jobs, vendors and figures are examples, not customer data.
All six screens, visible without clicking.
How it works
Set up around the way you already sell work.
STEP 01
Install your modules
Pick the modules per company. A concrete outfit and a hauling outfit under the same owner end up with different screens, different roles and different billing.
STEP 02
Bring your records in
Cost codes, customers, jobs, equipment, crews and contracts load into one spine. Bills can arrive by email and get read into the system rather than retyped.
STEP 03
Run the job on it
Takeoff feeds the budget, purchase orders commit cost, the field posts against the job, and billing reads the contract you actually signed — including a fee floor if the paper says so.
An empty screen and a broken screen are not the same thing, and software that can’t tell you which one you’re looking at will cost you a job.

Questions
Straight answers.
Does this replace my accounting software?
No. It owns the operational side — estimating, purchasing, job cost, dispatch, compliance and customer billing — and reconciles job cost to accounting. Your general ledger stays where it is.
I own more than one company. Is that one account or several?
One login. You pick the company at the top of every screen, and there's a portfolio view across all of them. Modules, roles and cost codes are configured per company, because a hauling company and a concrete company do not sell work the same way.
Can it handle cost-plus as well as fixed-price contracts?
Yes, chosen per contract. Cost-plus bills actual cost plus a fee, including a minimum fee floor when the contract specifies one. Fixed-price bills percent complete against a schedule of values. A fixed-price contract is not allowed to carry a fee, so the same work can't be billed twice.
What about retainage?
Set per contract when the contract is entered, with the release condition recorded alongside it. There is deliberately no system-wide default: a blank retainage means nobody has answered yet, which is not the same as a contract that withholds nothing.
Can the field crew use it on a phone?
Yes — there's a field mobile screen, and roles are separated so a driver or crew member sees their work rather than the whole back office.
What stage is the product at?
It's in active use on real companies and real jobs, and it is still being built out week to week. We'd rather tell you that than describe it as finished. If you need something completely static, this is not it yet.
What does it cost?
Pricing is set per company during onboarding, based on the modules installed and the number of people using it. Ask and you’ll get a real number, not a "contact sales" loop.
