Quoting
Rate cards per client, structured line items, revisions and approvals. Won quotes turn into projects without retyping.
Built for Australian traffic control contractors
Quoting, bookings and crew allocation, permits and road occupancy licences, the OMBR App for crews on site, dockets, timesheets, payroll and invoicing. All connected, so nothing is keyed in twice.
In daily use by an Australian traffic control contractor.
What it replaces
None of them talk to each other, and the gaps between them are where hours go unbilled, dockets go missing and crews turn up to the wrong site.
Seven places to keep in step. Or one.
One job, end to end
OMBR carries the same job information through planning, approvals, scheduling, the field and accounts. Enter it once, keep every team working from the same record, and see exactly where each job is up to.
Build the scope and price the work using your own client and project rate cards. Include labour, vehicles, equipment, travel, minimum call-outs and day, night, weekend and public holiday rates. Once accepted, the quote becomes a project without anyone entering the information again.
Turn the accepted work into an operational plan. Record the site, work stages, dates, traffic guidance requirements, crew and equipment needs, client instructions and supporting documents. Prepare and manage TGSs, TMPs and other planning requirements from the same project record.
Identify, prepare and track every approval required for the work. Manage council permits, road occupancy licences, TfNSW approvals and other authority requirements, including reference numbers, conditions, documents, fees, dates and expiry warnings. Everyone can see what is required, lodged, approved or about to expire.
Create individual or recurring shifts under the project. Each booking carries through the correct client, site, scope, plans, permit requirements, contacts and rates. Changes remain connected to the project, so the operations team is always working from current information.
Assign suitably qualified people, vehicles, plant and equipment to each shift. OMBR checks availability, overlapping bookings, competencies, licences, fatigue, inductions and site restrictions, helping the allocator resolve conflicts before the crew arrives on site.
The crew receives everything needed for the shift on their phone, including the address, contacts, plans, instructions, allocated resources and required forms. They can sign on and off, record breaks and hours, complete checks, upload photos and submit the works docket for client sign-off, even when reception is unreliable.
Approved field hours and signed dockets flow into payroll and billing. OMBR applies the correct pay conditions, overtime, allowances and client rates, then prepares timesheets and invoice lines without double entry. Review the information, finalise it and send it to your connected accounting system with a complete audit trail.
The allocation board
Every booking shows what the job needs against what is actually on it: crew, vehicles, plant and radios. Drag a person or a truck across to allocate them. Nothing says it is ready until it is.

The office side runs in a browser, and it is built to work in the one on your phone. Quote, book, allocate, chase a permit or check a docket from a ute at a depot at 2am, without dragging a desktop layout around a small screen. Crews have the OMBR App for their half of the job. Everyone else just opens the site.
On the road
A controller starting a night shift on the Hume does not want to fill in a form. They want to know where to stand, who else is on, what plant is coming and when they can go home. The OMBR App gives them that, and gives the office the record it needs in return.
More on the OMBR AppSite, meeting point, hours, the traffic management plan, the rest of the crew and the plant on the job.
Checks done and signed off from site, with photos attached to the shift where anyone in the office can find them.
Start, breaks and finish recorded on the shift, not reconstructed from a docket book on Monday morning.
The client representative signs the docket on the spot. That signature is what payroll and invoicing both work from.
What is in it
Traffic control has its own shape: shift work, ticketed personnel, plant that has to be in two places, clients who pay against signed dockets, and licences that expire. OMBR is built around that shape.
Rate cards per client, structured line items, revisions and approvals. Won quotes turn into projects without retyping.
Shifts across projects, depots and clients on one board. Crews, vehicles and plant assigned against real availability.
The shift, the plan and the paperwork on the phone in the controller’s pocket. Photos, prestarts, hours and signatures from site.
One signed record per shift, feeding both the client invoice and the payroll run. No carbon copies, no transcription.
Hours, allowances, penalties and overtime built from what the crew actually worked, ready for your pay run.
Invoices assembled from signed dockets and the agreed rates, so what you bill is what the client already put their name to.
Hired plant, subcontract crews and signage suppliers, with purchase orders raised against the job and reconciled to it.
Every licence and permit with its authority, reference, validity window and status, visible before it holds a job up.
Clients see their bookings, dockets and invoices. Suppliers see their orders. Both stop landing in your inbox as attachments.
Pricing
Plans are sized by two things: the field personnel and the vehicles you put on bookings. Jobs are not capped. Office users are unlimited on every plan, so putting your schedulers, payroll officer and estimator in the system never costs more. Six plans in AUD, from Starter up to Enterprise.
A demo runs about thirty minutes. Bring a quote, a roster and last week’s dockets, and we’ll show you the same week running in OMBR.
