Real-time machine telematics
Where machine tracking meets drone maps. DirtMate’s the only GNSS receiver field managers need to verify daily production, reduce operating costs, and automate reporting.
Built for project teams, not mechanics
Machine control hits grade and the weekly drone survey signs it off. DirtMate owns the days in between—mapping the ground under the tracks and tires of every active machine. Verify production daily and optimize your field operations by the minute.
Reduced operating costs
Reduce idle time and increase accountability
Boost operator efficiency and optimize haul routes with real-time visibility into run/idle rate. Identify slowdowns as they happen and hold your team accountable for the results.
Confidence in execution
Verify production every day with DirtMate surface data
Know exactly where production stands throughout the shift, not just at the end. Track elevation changes by comparing your DirtMate surfaces to previous surveys or final designs.
Proof of work
Reduce paperwork, automate load counts
Swap unreliable manual counts and tedious spreadsheets for automated, accurate data capture on loads, cycles, and utilization. Get reports delivered daily, cutting hours previously spent on manual data entry and analysis.

Dirks streamlined bidding and production with DirtMate
Jonathan Ensz, CEO of Dirks Enterprises, first adopted Propeller’s drone survey workflows to capture weekly progress data. That success raised a new question: could daily production insights and material volumes give his team an even bigger competitive edge?
“We can see the yardage moved on a daily basis, allowing us to adjust equipment per site to keep each job efficient. DirtMate helps our crews in the field stay on track and see where they’re at.”
– Jonathan Ensz, CEO at Dirks Enterprises
