When you’re running crews across California’s toughest jobsites—from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Caldecott Tunnel—booking hotel rooms shouldn’t be the hardest part of the day. But for Vanguard Construction, it was becoming a full-time job (and then some).

Dispatcher Victor S. was juggling spreadsheets, hotel websites, credit card forms, and endless follow-ups—often burning his weekends just to keep things on track. 

Then came Engine.

With Engine, Victor can book 20 rooms at 12 hotels in under 10 minutes, all from one centralized platform. No more email tag, missing folios, or broken spreadsheets. Just fast, organized, field-ready hotel booking—and real support when it’s needed most.

Victor said it best: “If Engine disappeared tomorrow, I’d lose my weekends.”

Read the full story to see how Engine gave Vanguard their time (and weekends) back.
