My Attachments
EASY ATTACHMENT SETUP
Every attachment works best with its own settings, but on a busy job, most operators never adjust them. Jobsite Companion applies the right setup for the Bobcat attachment you're running, so you can maximize performance and efficiency.
Machine Guidance & Troubleshooting
LESS GUESSING. LESS DOWNTIME.
Jobsite Companion knows your machine inside and out, from fault codes and troubleshooting steps to vitals, specs and service. Just ask, and get a clear answer without leaving the seat or digging through a manual.
Machine Functions
HANDS ON THE CONTROLS. EYES ON THE WORK.
Changing a setting shouldn't mean stopping the work. With Jobsite Companion, hold the mic button on the left joystick, say what you need and keep going. No reaching, no scrolling, no letting go of the controls.
Use Cases
MAXIMIZE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY
No matter the job, Jobsite Companion is your ultimate assistant to adjust settings and optimize your work, helping you get the job done faster.
Step 1: Set Up the Job
Before the first pass, say "create a new job," name the lot and set your estimated hours and operational costs and you’re ready to go.
Step 2: Get to Work
Connect the snow blower, and Jobsite Companion applies the optimized settings. As you clear the lot, the progress bar tracks your pace, and when snow builds up on the glass, just say "single wipe" to activate the windshield wiper and keep both hands on the controls.
Step 3: Close out the Job
When you’re finished, say "set job progress to 100%" to complete this job. Back at the office, review efficiency scores for every job in the Bobcat Owner Portal. Understanding the cost of your job and machine will allow you to make more informed future business decisions.
Step 1: Set Up the Job
Before the first cut, say "create a new job," name the site and set your estimated hours and operational costs, then you’re ready to start grading.
Step 2: Get to Work
Rough grade with the bucket. Before you switch, say "change attachment to soil conditioner," and its optimized settings will be ready when you hook it up. For finish passes, fine-tune speed management by voice without letting go of the controls.
Step 3: Close out the Job
When you’re finished, say "set job progress to 100%" to complete this job. Back at the office, review efficiency scores for every job in the Bobcat Owner Portal, then export or print the results to share with your team.
