What is DigJMS?
DigJMS is web-based job management software customized to meet the unique needs
of the underground facilities industry, including excavators, utilities, utility
contractors, underground facilities contractors, and anyone who is involved in the
business of digging in the ground. The Underground Contractor industry does not
have a custom software system designed specifically to meet their unique needs
and work flow. Most underground contractors use the ol’ legal pad system. If
they use computer software to manage jobs, they use home-made Excel spreadsheets.
DigJMS puts all your work flow in one place, in one easy-to-use application that
you can use from anywhere you have internet access (even from home).
Integrated Job Management Functions Include:
- Bid and Job Costing
- Job Management - single or multi-phase jobs
- Personnel / Crew Management
- Sub Contractor and Client Management
- Equipment and Materials Management
- Client Billing
- Payroll Reporting
- One-Call Ticket Management
- Utility Facility Damage Documentation

Is DigJMS right for your Business?
This page is intended as a brief introduction for businesses wishing to learn whether
DigJMS fits their needs. It will give an overview of the DigJMS system, and the benefits and
risks involved in using it.
What can DigJMS do?
DigJMS can help businesses keep track of the jobs they are working on, the people they work with, and all
the work they do with them. DigJMS can be:
- A centralized contact database of all the people and organizations you work with
- The Master Database for prospecting, bidding, and responding to RFPs.
- The central system for tracking jobs, one-call tickets, damages, deadlines, and more.
DigJMS allows you to easily track important communications you have with people:
- It can be a shared contact list for your Company, accessible via the web
- It makes it really easy to record communications and status reports, again via the web
- You can cross reference communications to people and maintain project reports
DigJMS has powerful querying and reporting tools:
- The information you enter can easily be used to help you make organizational decisions
- With the built-in report builder that requires no coding, users can build and share reports
- Dashboards that display report information in charts and graphs can give Foremen and Supervisors compelling summaries of your work
DigJMS likes to share:
- Your information can be made available to your other technology systems (like QuickBooks) through simple plug-ins
- Information from your other systems can be imported into DigJMS
- Lots of affordable services, like email messaging systems, can integrate with DigJMS
What can't DigJMS do?
DigJMS, like all software, has limits:
- DigJMS isn't an accounting system. You can purchase connectors to products like Quickbooks, but accounting functions aren't handled by DigJMS.
- If you are doing very complex claims or facilities management, DigJMS may not have the functionality you need to be successful.
What are the benefits of using DigJMS?
- Work from anywhere you have internet access, even home.
- DigJMS is very affordable
- No server, no one to maintain the server--all you need is a browser
- Low month-to-month subscription fee for using the system.
- Centralized Data: You can do most of your work in one system.
- Handle people who play many roles in your organization
- Support the unique work you do that most other systems can't support
- Accessible and available: All you need to use DigJMS is a web browser and Internet access.
- It's accessible from anywhere
- It's secure
- It can talk to other modern applications
- Deal with Change: DigJMS can easily change as you do
- Create new fields with no coding in a matter of seconds
- Add support for new ways of working at very low cost
- Modern: DigJMS is cutting-edge software
- Connect your information to your website, email messaging, and other systems
- Connect your information to published data: address enhancement, ticket lookup, etc.
- Backups and Updates just happen without any work for the User
- All software will be web-based someday. DigJMS is already there!
What are risks I should consider about using DigJMS?
Access to the system is by subscription:
- It's like paying rent. Your access is for a 12 month period and is up for renewal every year
- DigJMS could go away. At this time this appears unlikely, but because DigJMS is providing a service rather than a piece of software, it's a risk
- DigJMS has your information on their servers, it's not on your computers
- The USA PATRIOT Act forces DigJMS to comply with any legal government request to see your data, just like your ISP
What are the costs associated with using DigJMS?
Depending on the size of your company, the monthly subscription cost will range from $99
per month to a few hundred dollars per month, depending on the number of states your Company
operates in. Above that, your ongoing monthly cost to use DigJMS is $0. You'll need someone
to act as administrator of your DigJMS system after you get set up. This would probably be
a user on your staff. Very large companies would probably use their dedicated IT staff.
Is DigJMS right for my organization?
DigJMS is a great database option that all utilities contractors should consider because of the
incredible benefits. If you are in the Utilities Contracting or Underground Facilities Management
business, you should seriously consider DigJMS.
