Built for construction teams

Reach your crew quickly without the busy work

Your crews don't check email between pours. But they'll always glance at a text. Avochato is construction texting made simple: one shared inbox for dispatch, job-site updates, safety alerts, and subcontractor follow-up. Every message logged, nothing lost between office and field.

Text "Avo" to (415) 214-8977 and see it from your crew's side.

The stats

Why construction teams switch to SMS

98%

of text messages are read, most within minutes, versus about 20% of emails.

90%

of texts are read within 15 minutes, so alerts reach the crew before the shift moves on.

1-2 days

for managed A2P approval. Weeks faster, so you can broadcast this week.

The problem

When comms run off a personal phone, coordination falls apart

Calls ring out, voicemails pile up, and by the time someone listens, the shift's already over. Generic business texting tools weren't built for dispatch, job-site coordination, safety alerts, or subcontractor scheduling.

Calls Go Straight To Voicemail

Foremen and subs are elbow-deep in work, not staring at a phone. A five minute callback turns into a half-day game of phone tag, and the crew waits around for an answer.

Updates Lost Between Office And Field

A schedule change, a materials delay, a safety notice. If it doesn't reach every crew member at once, someone shows up to the wrong site, works an old plan, or misses the alert entirely.

There's No Record Of What Was Said

When a delay, an incident, or a change order gets disputed later, "I told him on the phone" doesn't hold up. Personal-phone texts vanish the day someone leaves the company.

The solution

One inbox for every crew, every site, every subcontractor

Avochato replaces scattered calls and personal-phone texting with a shared team inbox, broadcast messaging, and AI-drafted responses for dispatchers. Crews get updates the moment they matter, in the browser or the mobile app, on a new number or the one they already have saved.

What Avochato delivers

How construction teams use texting software

1 of 5

Crew Dispatch & Confirmations

Send the day's assignments, site addresses, and start times by text, and let crews confirm with a single reply. No more waiting by the phone to see who picked up, and no crew standing idle because the callback never came.

Job-Site Updates In Real Time

Push delays, schedule changes, and delivery windows to the crew or an individual sub, and get quick replies back in one shared inbox. Everyone works to the same plan instead of yesterday's.

Safety Alerts Everyone Actually Sees

Weather closures, hazard notices, stop-work orders. A text reaches a crew on a ladder faster than a phone call ever will, and it's logged the moment it's sent.

Subcontractor Coordination Without The Phone Tag

Confirm scope changes, schedule shifts, and punch-list items with subs by text, so nothing depends on someone being at their desk to answer an email.

FAQs

What is construction texting software?

Construction texting software is a business texting platform that lets a contractor run two-way SMS with crews, subcontractors, and clients from one shared inbox instead of personal phones. Avochato adds broadcast messaging, AI-drafted replies, managed A2P registration, and a full logged history, so dispatch, job-site updates, and safety alerts reach the field fast and every message stays on the record.

Does texting work if my crews don't have data or Wi-Fi on-site?

Yes. Avochato sends standard SMS, which works over a phone's cell signal the same way a regular text message does. No app, data plan, or Wi-Fi is required on the receiving end.

Can crews text from their personal phones?

They don't need to. The Avochato mobile app lets staff send and receive from your business number, so every message lands in the shared inbox instead of disappearing on someone's personal phone.

Can we keep our current business number?

Yes. If you already have a number, Avochato helps you transfer it in so crews and subs keep texting the number they already have saved.

How long does A2P approval take?

Typically 1-2 days with Avochato's managed registration, well under the industry norm of several weeks, so you're not stuck waiting to send your first broadcast.

Can we send one text to a whole crew or job site at once?

Yes. Broadcast to an entire crew, a trade, or a specific job site, personalized and scheduled ahead of time, and every reply comes back as a normal one-to-one conversation your team can answer in the shared inbox.

Does Avochato integrate with the tools we already use?

Yes, with Salesforce, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Okta single sign-on, and thousands of apps through Zapier.

How long does setup take?

Minutes. Create a free trial account with no credit card, claim or port a number, invite your team, and send your first broadcast the same day.
