For Heavy & Highway Contractors on Davis-Bacon Work

Certified payroll that matches the job cost, before the agency asks

You certify every week that payroll matches the wage determination. The WH-347, the time cards, and the job cost live in three systems that never agree.

A data warehouse built specifically for heavy and highway contractors on Davis-Bacon work. Connect the certified payroll system, field time, telematics, and job cost. Live in about 48 hours.

Synopsis is a data warehouse for heavy and highway contractors certifying payroll on Davis-Bacon and state prevailing-wage work, live on your own systems in about 48 hours. LCPtracker submissions, HCSS HeavyJob time cards, VisionLink machine hours, Viewpoint Vista job cost, B2Gnow DBE records, and agency portals land in one warehouse keyed to the same project and classification. A question like whether anyone is working a classification you are not certifying, on any job this week, becomes a single query. Updated August 2026.

Popular pairings

The pairings that make certified payroll match the job cost.

The WH-347, the time card, and the job cost describe the same hour three different ways. One project and classification key resolves them.

LCPtracker + HCSS HeavyJob

Synopsis integrates LCPtracker certified payroll submissions with HeavyJob field time cards, so hours certified and hours worked reconcile by classification before the WH-347 goes out.

HCSS HeavyJob + Viewpoint Vista

Synopsis connects HCSS HeavyJob field-logged hours to Viewpoint Vista job cost, so certified payroll and the cost report agree on the same project.

B2Gnow + Viewpoint Vista

Synopsis syncs B2Gnow DBE participation records to subcontractor payments in Viewpoint Vista, so goal attainment is evidenced from the books.

ADP + LCPtracker

Synopsis integrates ADP payroll registers with LCPtracker certified payroll submissions, so rate and fringe credit differences surface before the agency finds them.

Sage 300 CRE + HCSS HeavyJob

Synopsis joins a contractor on Sage 300 CRE to the same HCSS HeavyJob field time, so the reconciliation works whichever construction ERP you run.

Questions

Answers before you ask.

Can it check the certified payroll against the job cost before we submit?

Your WH-347s, field time cards, and job-cost labor land in the same warehouse keyed to the job, the employee, and the work week, so the comparison the agency would run happens before the payroll is certified rather than after. The January 2025 revision of the form gives you more to check against: the wage determination number, the journeyworker or registered-apprentice designation, and the total fringe benefit credit shown separately from any payment in lieu of fringe benefits. Synopsis assembles the records and shows you the gaps. Your payroll administrator still signs the statement of compliance, and Synopsis does not make anyone Davis-Bacon compliant.

Can it track apprentice ratios and DBE participation across our DOT jobs?

Yes, with one note on where the numbers come from. Certified hours by craft and registered-apprentice status land next to the time cards, so whether a crew is over the ratio is one query per job per day; the permitted ratio itself comes from the apprenticeship program standards and the applicable wage determination, and registration is confirmed with the Office of Apprenticeship or your state apprenticeship agency, not with a payroll system. On DBE, your state DOT's Civil Rights and Labor system already reports some participation back to you as the prime, so Synopsis reads that alongside B2Gnow commitments and the subcontract payments in your ERP.

Does Synopsis submit our certified payroll for us?

No. You keep submitting through LCPtracker, eMars, Elation Systems, or your state DOT's portal. What Synopsis does is check the payroll against the job cost, the time cards, and the wage determination first, and tell you which weeks would come back rejected. Signing the statement of compliance and filing it stay with your payroll administrator.

Does Synopsis integrate LCPtracker with HCSS HeavyJob?

Yes. LCPtracker certified payroll submissions and HeavyJob field time cards land in one warehouse keyed to the same project and classification, so certified hours against worked hours is one query. The same holds for Viewpoint Vista, Sage 300 CRE, Foundation, VisionLink, B2Gnow, ADP, and the rest of a heavy and highway contractor's systems.

We run a system that isn't listed here. Can you connect it?

Usually, yes. The AI builds the connector from an export or an API, and a new system is typically flowing in days. If it can produce a file, it is a candidate.

How long until we can start asking questions?

Your first connected systems are answering questions in about 48 hours, and a full rollout lands in days, not a multi-quarter data project.

Do we need a data team or anyone who knows SQL?

No. We configure your warehouse with you and connect the systems you already run; your team just asks questions in plain English. Nobody has to write SQL or babysit pipelines unless they want to.

Does Synopsis replace the software we already use?

No. Your systems of record — ERP, CRM, accounting, and the rest — stay exactly where they are. Synopsis sits on top and joins them into one place you can query, so you report across everything instead of exporting from each tool.

Where does our data live, and is it secure?

Your data stays in your own warehouse — we don't keep a copy. Access is governed per user and every query is audit-logged. Synopsis is SOC 2 Type II, and you can review our live security posture in the Trust Center.

How is this different from a BI tool or a stack of dashboards?

BI tools chart data that something else already had to clean and join. Synopsis does that upstream work — connecting your systems, resolving entities, and enforcing your metric definitions — then answers in plain English, builds the dashboards, and traces every number back to its source.
