Custom app for asphalt records and daily production
Appfront builds apps that let road builders complete the asphalt log on the day itself: every load from the asphalt plant is recorded with its delivery ticket, mix and tonnes, linked to the section and layer where it was laid, along with the temperature and time on arrival, the measured thickness and width per section, and at the end of the day a production total that matches what the plant delivered. So the site manager and the client read the quantities from the same record.
What is an app for the asphalt log and daily production?
The asphalt log is the daily overview of what an asphalt crew has laid: per load the mix, the tonnes and the plant's delivery ticket, per section the layer, the thickness and the width, and per day the totals. It forms the basis for the progress statement to the client, for checking the plant's invoices and for the quality records that go with asphalt work. An app fills that log on site itself: the driver or site manager scans the ticket, the paver operator indicates the section, and the tonnes are recorded where they were laid.
Without such an app, the site manager writes the loads on a log in the site cabin, collects the tickets in a folder, and a week later the planner types them into a spreadsheet alongside the specification. A load recorded on the wrong section gets noticed in the progress statement, and the plant's invoice that quotes three tonnes more than the log is paid because nobody can trace the difference.
We build custom development because the log has to match your work and your plant: which mixes you lay, what your plant's tickets look like, which specification system your clients use, whether you record temperature and compaction, and where the progress statement is currently produced. A generic hours app knows nothing about loads, layers or tickets.
Loads and tickets
Every load from the plant, with its delivery ticket scanned or received via the integration: mix, tonnes, loading time, and on arrival the time and temperature.
Laying per section
Per load the section and layer where it was laid, with the measured thickness and width, so the tonnes per section and the thickness per section come from the same record.
Daily output and progress statement
At the end of the day the output per section and per mix, the comparison with what the plant delivered, and the progress statement with the asphalt log as supporting evidence.
How we build your app for the asphalt log and daily output
We start with a project where the progress statement or the plant's invoice did not add up: which load was missing, where it had been recorded and how long it took to find out. The app follows from that.
Which mixes you lay, how tickets come in, who currently keeps the log, which measurements you take, which specifications your clients use and how the progress statement is produced today.
Per project, the sections and layers from the specification, the mixes with their properties, and the integration with the plant for delivery tickets.
Scan or receive the ticket, indicate section and layer, enter temperature and measurements, also without signal, by driver, paver operator or site manager.
The daily production with the comparison, the asphalt schedule and the invoice check, the integration with the accounts, and then maintenance and the extension to compaction measurements.
What an app for the asphalt log and daily output does in practice
The components below come up on almost every asphalt crew. Which ones you need depends on your plant and on what your clients require in terms of records.
Load registration
For each load, the delivery ticket, mix, tonnes, loading time, arrival time and temperature, scanned or via the integration with the plant.
Sections and layers
Per project the sections and layers from the specification, with for each load where it was laid and per section the measured thickness and width.
Daily production
Per day the tonnes per section, per layer and per mix, the comparison of delivered against laid, and the difference with a reason.
Quality records
Temperature on arrival and on laying, weather conditions and compaction, recorded per section for the quality file.
Progress statement
The quantities per specification item from the asphalt log, per term, with the log as supporting evidence to the client.
Plant invoice check
The plant's invoice alongside the loads received, per ticket, with the difference visible before payment is made.
Who an app for the asphalt log and daily output is built for
The app is built for companies that process hundreds of tonnes a day and currently reconstruct the asphalt record afterwards from receipts and handwritten notes.
Road builders with their own asphalt crews
Several crews across several sites at once. Registration per crew and daily production per site are the core.
Asphalt crews as subcontractors
Processing for a main contractor who wants to see the quantities. The asphalt record as evidence to the client counts most.
Civil engineering contractors with their own plant
Delivery tickets and processing in one chain. The integration with the plant and the comparison of what was delivered against what was laid.
Companies with quality requirements in the specification
Clients who ask for temperature, thickness and compaction per section. Quality registration per section is the core.

Why choose Appfront for your asphalt record and daily production app?
An asphalt record is only as good as the moment it is filled in. We build on that: register at the load, on the road, by whoever is there.
The delivery note lands where the asphalt goes
The load is linked to the section on arrival, not a week later from a folder. The tonnes per section are a fact, not a reconstruction.
Delivered and processed match up
What the plant invoices sits alongside what the crew has laid, per delivery note. A discrepancy stands out before payment.
The milestone statement is an export
The quantity per specification item from the record, with the loads and measurements underneath. The client checks the evidence, not the contractor.
Security and privacy for an asphalt record and daily production app
The app handles data about projects, clients and the plant's purchase prices. Access is set by role and by site: the driver registers loads, the site foreman the processing and measurements, the planner sees the milestone statement and invoice checks, and the client sees only the statement for their own project in a portal. A closed day cannot be changed without the correction being recorded with name and time.
The app runs in a European data centre, with encrypted storage and daily back-ups. Integrations with the plant, costing and accounts use their own keys, which can be revoked per integration.
Frequently asked questions about an asphalt record and daily production app
Questions road builders ask before getting started.
It records every load from the plant with its ticket, mix, tonnes and temperature, links it to the section and layer where it was laid, captures the measured thickness and width, and produces the daily production with the comparison between delivered and laid. From this follow the asphalt schedule to the client and the check of the plant's invoice.
Via an integration with the weighbridge where it has an interface, otherwise by scanning the docket; the data is read out and checked. On arrival at the site, the driver or site manager confirms the load and indicates the bay.
Yes. Registrations are stored on the phone or tablet and sent as soon as there is signal again, with the time of the moment of registration. Working in a tunnel or outside built-up areas is therefore not a problem.
Yes. For each load, the temperature on arrival and at processing; for each section, the weather conditions and the compaction, with the measuring instrument used. Which measurements you record depends on what the specification and your own quality system require.
The quantities per specification item come directly from the asphalt record, per payment period, with the loads and measurements as supporting evidence. The client can view the statement in a portal, so that any discussion about quantities is based on the same figures.
Yes. Works, sections and specification items come from your costing, the daily output goes to the post-calculation, and the payment statement goes to invoicing. We connect to the packages you use; the app does not become a second costing system.
Check that first. A plant often provides an overview of delivered loads, and that is enough if you only want to verify the delivery. Custom development makes sense if the tonnages need processing per section and per layer, if measurements are involved, if the payment statement must follow from it, or if you buy from several plants.
