Inside the Blue Crane App

What the system covers

Blue Crane is the engine for worksite planning, compliance and document intelligence. Five registries: every document, person, vehicle, cost and safety record sits against the job it belongs to — instead of across a truck, a laptop and a filing cabinet.

Worksites

Every site planned in stages, crew invited by QR, and sign-offs gating each phase of the work.

Staff & Crew

Tickets, certifications and sign-offs, with warnings before they lapse.

Vehicles & Equipment

Inspections, maintenance, registrations and defect reports per asset.

Receipts & Expenses

Scanned, sorted and costed to the job, ready for the accountant.

Safety & Company

WSIB, insurance, policies and safety walks — handed to an inspector read-only.

Forms, built in

126 Ontario and Canadian contractor forms — Notice of Project, proper invoice, hazard assessments — filled, filed and attached to the job.

Also from Blue Crane: Blue Crane Inventory , inventory that sets itself up around your business. Photograph an item or type it in; it gets a stock number, a location, and a price suggested from what you actually charge.

In the field

Here’s how contractors, trades & small businesses use Blue Crane on-site.

Built with Ontario trades — not just for them.

Job-site Workflow & Onboarding

Tie jobs, people, and every document into a private phone invite or a posted QR code around the site. Every work order and record available instantly — to you, your office, or the MOL if they show up.

On-site Estimate & Smart Receipt Scanning

CALIBER builds the customer’s estimate on site. Smart Scan grabs single documents, and the Bulk Sorter clears a whole pile of receipts in one go.

Digital Sign-offs

Sign-offs sent to their phone or yours — employees, customers, and visitors done faster. Already have a paper form or old document? Scan it and send it out for a signature right from the app.

Built by Tradesmen Built-in compliance for every job Simple setup. Running same day.

Included side tool

CALIBER: walk the job and talk it out; it turns the walk into a finished estimate or safety report in seconds, video proof attached. A side tool inside Blue Crane, included on every plan.

What Blue Crane Does

One powerful tool that lifts the weight of paperwork.

Smart scanning, bulk scanning, job workflow, CALIBER — the day-to-day toolkit your leads and supervisors run, on a phone on site or the desktop in the office. We didn’t build Blue Crane to give you more admin. We built it so we could get back to our kids, who don’t care one bit that we spent all Saturday night looking for receipts.

START 30-DAY DEMO No card required

Smart Scanner + Bulk Sorter

Scan one receipt or dump a week’s worth at once — it reads, sorts, and files each one automatically.

Auto Expiry Reminders

Get warned before insurance, WSIB, certs, or licenses lapse and stop a job.

Accountant & QuickBooks Export

Hand clean expense data to your accountant or push it straight to QuickBooks.

Digital Signatures

Sign forms and documents right on the phone — no printing, no scanner.

Connected Workers & Compliance

Toolbox talks, FLHAs, and safety forms attached to the right job site — pre-built and ready to sign.

How It Works

SMART SCAN TO JOB CREATION. Everything connected.

Scan a document or record a video log — Blue Crane reads it, works out what it is and who it belongs to, files it to the right job or person, and gets it ready for your back office.

Read & Identify

Blue Crane takes your scans or video logs and works out what each one is — and who it belongs to — by reading names, titles, and document type.

Reads any document Auto-filed & tracked Receipts calculated Accountant-ready

🍁 Made in Canada

Built in Canada, for what Ontario asks of you.

Built by a Hamilton contractor who's dealt with WSIB, the MOL, and a binder full of certs — so the app already knows what Ontario asks for.

Privacy

Governed by Canadian privacy law

Your receipts, certs and business records are handled under PIPEDA, and the page on your data says exactly which Microsoft regions hold what, in plain language, so you are never taking a slogan on trust.

Compliance

Built around what Ontario requires

WSIB clearances, MOL paperwork, CVOR, Working at Heights cards, contractor insurance: the vault is organized around the documents Ontario trades actually get asked for, the ones set out in the OHSA and Reg. 213/91 and the training the Ministry expects a crew to hold.

Origin

Built by a Tradesman, for the Trade

This came from a Hamilton contractor who saw the value in helping fellow business owners and tradesmen — not a tech team in California guessing at what trades need.

The Real Cost

What Paperwork Is Actually Costing You

Paperwork does not feel expensive until it slows a job, buries a receipt, blocks a worker from site, delays an invoice, or leaves your accountant cleaning up a mess. Blue Crane cuts those hidden costs by keeping records scanned, signed, tracked, and ready before they turn into problems.

01 · Lost Time

Admin hours add up fast.

02 · Lost Receipts

Missed expenses cost real money.

03 · Expired Records

Expired docs can stop work.

04 · Cleanup Costs

Messy hand-offs cost more later.

Quick math

Hours / week lost to paperwork 6 hrs Your hourly rate $70

$13,100 back a year

3.6 hrs/week back $1,090/month

Blue Crane is $24.99/mo — this pays for it 44× over.

Estimate based on the numbers you set. Blue Crane removes most of the admin time around quoting, sorting receipts, and pulling records — your real savings depend on how you work.

Common questions

Got questions? Here are the honest answers.

Your walks, reports, and business records are encrypted and stored on your account — not shared, not sold. You decide what gets sent and to who. Nothing leaves your phone until you say so, and your data is governed by Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA).
If you can take a video on your phone, you can run Blue Crane. There’s no setup, no manual, no training day — you walk the job and talk like you always do. The app does the typing. Most contractors are set up and scanning their first receipt within an afternoon.
Nothing disappears. Your reports, walks, and records stay put — you just pick a plan to keep making new ones. No surprise charges, and you can cancel anytime. We don’t ask for a card to start your demo, so there’s nothing to accidentally get billed.
Yes. Blue Crane records and saves your walk right on your phone, dead zone or not. When you get signal back, it syncs and finishes the report — you don’t lose a thing in the basement of a new build or out in the field.
Built for the trades that walk a site and quote work — drywall, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, concrete, landscaping, renos, and general contracting. If you size up a job in person and send a number after, it’s built for you.
