Built for utility contractor operations.
Two-way texting, visual roster building, equipment tracking, DVIRs, and timesheets—connected in one system.
Messenger
Two-way texting between the office and every crew member
Once a call-out goes out, employees can text back their availability. Quickly confirm them to the assigned show-up using pre-populated messages with details such as the show-up address. Messenger keeps every reply organized by employee, so nothing gets missed when multiple office staff are working from different locations at the same time. The full conversation stays on the record.
- Threaded conversations by employee, sorted by latest reply
- Send one-off texts outside of a call-out, including photos and attachments
- Delivery status for every text: queued, sent, delivered, or failed
- Searchable history that remains available through office personnel changes
Roster Builder
Drag-and-drop your storm roster: crews, support, equipment
A deployment falls apart when nobody knows who their foreman is and which truck they're on. Roster Builder is a visual workspace for putting teams together, naming foremen, building out bucket crews, adding mechanic and safety support. When you're done, export to Excel or group-text a whole team without leaving the screen.
- Multiple named rosters per event with teams, bench, and support units
- Drag employees between teams, support roles, and the bench
- Assign General Foremen, Foremen, equipment, and trailer equipment per team
- Export to Excel and group-text an entire team in one click
Fleet & Safety
DVIRs, repair tickets, and SDS from one QR scan
Every truck carries a QR code. The driver scans it, fills out a DOT-compliant DVIR, and submits without logging in. Findings drop straight into the shop's issue queue, get bundled into a shop work order for the mechanic, and update the truck's status automatically. The same QR approach puts OSHA-required Safety Data Sheets one scan away on the jobsite.
- Truck status updates itself from the latest inspection
- Issues queue with bulk assign, bulk prioritize, and shop work order bundling
- Enable text and email alerts when truck issues are noted on DVIR
- Printable QR labels for Safety Data Sheets so crews can pull PDFs on-site
The platform
Six workflows, one system
StormCall follows the real work a utility contractor does, from call-out to cleared invoice. Each piece feeds the next, so an operations person doing a call out, foreman in the field, mechanic, and billing are looking at the same data.

How we compare
Most storm tools stop at the call-out
A lot of storm software stops at mobilization. It gets crews moving, but often not DVIRs, fleet repairs, field billing, or safety docs — the rest of what fills a contractor's day.
