Win the job, then protect the margin

We set up quotes, project budgets, purchasing, crews and progress billing in one system, so every site shows what it costs and what it earns while the work is still going on.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can we bill by milestone or by percentage completed?

Yes. You can invoice fixed milestones, a percentage of completion or the time and materials used, with retentions and down payments.

Does it work on site without an office computer?

Yes. Foremen and crews use their phones to clock in, report progress, add photos and collect signatures.

Can we see the margin of each job while it is running?

Yes. Hours, purchases and equipment costs are charged to the job as they happen, so budget versus actual is always up to date.

Can we manage subcontractors too?

Yes. Subcontractor quotes, purchase orders and invoices are linked to the job, so their cost is part of your margin.
