Sonar Labs
Sonar Labs builds software for heavy civil contractors to manage material movement. Our platform replaces spreadsheets with real-time tracking, helping teams coordinate dirt logistics and automate subcontractor workflows, saving time, reducing waste, and unlocking millions in jobsite profitability.
Definition
Sonar Labs is a software platform purpose-built for heavy civil contractors, streamlining the most overlooked but critical aspects of construction operations: material movement and subcontractor payments. At its core, Sonar Labs replaces the outdated patchwork of spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls with a unified digital system that captures, connects, and automates jobsite workflows.The first module, EMT (Earthwork Material Tracker), acts as a control tower for dirt logistics. Contractors running 30–50 active projects at any given time often lack visibility into where materials are being imported or exported. EMT allows project teams to track what material is available, where it’s needed, and which vendors are hauling it. By digitizing haul tickets, mapping material flows, and automating inter-project matching, EMT helps teams save on trucking costs and reduce material waste. It provides real-time insight into inventory levels, distances between sites, and high-impact re
