2026 summer hcss product release

Summer Product Release | 2026

Smarter quotes, drone-ready map views, and a fleet you can see at a glance.

By HCSS

Summer’s here, and so is the next round of updates for the industry’s leading construction management software. This quarter, we focused on cutting manual work out of the places contractors feel it most: pricing a quote, seeing the jobsite clearly, getting crews in the right place, and keeping tabs on equipment. Here’s a closer look at the stories we think matter most to your team.

HeavyBid: HCSS AI Extracted Prices from Vendor Quotes

Reviewing and applying vendor quotes to your estimates used to mean digging through documents line by line and manually entering them into your bid. Now, upload a vendor quote document to HeavyBid and HCSS AI (formerly Copilot) will automatically pull the pricing data and map it to the right resource line items in your Quote Folder. You always stay in control. Review, confirm, or adjust any suggested price before it’s added, while a clear AI indicator icon marks every automated number so you always know its source.

We also cleaned up the handoff from HeavyBid to HeavyJob. Estimators can now assign cost codes to individual resources, pull them out of base activities with custom descriptions, and adjust export details to align perfectly with the accounting system. Project managers and accountants get a clean, field-ready budget every time, after the handoff.

What this means for you: Less time on data entry, and a faster path from quote to bid.

HeavyBid: Revert an Estimate to Any Prior State with Flashback

Made a round of changes to an estimate and want them gone? With Flashback, you can now revert an estimate back to any prior state, not just the last change. This gives you a true mass-undo, so if a set of edits doesn't work out, you're not stuck manually reversing each one. And if you revert too far, you can revert back to the state you reverted from, effectively undoing your undo.

What this means for you: More confidence to experiment with an estimate, knowing you can always step back to a version you trust.

HeavyJob: Drone Footage, Right in Map View

Map View just got a serious upgrade. You can now link outside map sources, including drone tile servers like Propeller, directly into Map View, so your team can pull up up-to-date aerial imagery and reference data without ever leaving HeavyJob. No more exporting flight data from one platform and re-uploading it into another just to see what a drone flight caught this week.

What this means for you: Your most current site imagery lives right alongside your job data, with nothing to export or re-upload.

HeavyJob: Resource Planner Meets myField

If you use Resource Planner, your laborers now get a new Schedule module in the myField mobile app on iOS. They can check their job and shift times, see the equipment linked to their assignment, and read any notes tied to the job or to them personally, all before they set foot on site. Android support is on the way.

What this means for you: Crews show up already knowing where they’re assigned and what they need, cutting down on morning confusion and phone calls back to the office.

HCSS Fleet: A Fresh Look for Fleet Map

The main page of HCSS Fleet Telematics has a new look this quarter with the redesigned Fleet Map. It's built on the same workflows you already rely on for tracking location, status, and machine data, just faster to load and easier to navigate, so the view you check every day is quicker to scan and simpler to work in.

What this means for you: A clearer, faster view of every machine's location and status, without having to relearn the tools you use every day.

The Bigger Picture

Across HeavyBid, HeavyJob, and HCSS Fleet, this quarter’s updates share a common thread: less manual work and better visibility, wherever your team feels it most. From smarter quote pricing to real-time drone imagery in the field, the 2026 Summer Release is about giving contractors back time so your crews can focus on what they do best: building.

It’s the same commitment that’s shaped HCSS software for 40 years, solutions built with the people who use them, for the way construction actually gets done.
