The hardest working software in construction
Office, jobs, field service, equipment, inventory, and time. One system and one ledger, built for the way contractors actually run.
Accounting, jobs, and operations in one system
Payroll, billing, equipment, and purchasing post to the same general ledger as your job cost. Owners see margin by job, and accountants close the month from one set of books.
Accounting coded to the job
GL, AP, AR, and bank reconciliation, with invoices and checks coded to a job, phase, and cost code.
Office & accounting →Know if every job makes money
Budget vs. actual by cost code, WIP with over and under billing, retention, and AIA G702/G703 pay applications.
Jobs & billing →Service work billed from the work order
Technician hours and materials recorded on the work order carry onto the service invoice.
Field service →Equipment and materials costed to jobs
Equipment hours charged to jobs at your rates, repair costs tracked per unit, and purchase orders committed against job budgets.
Equipment & inventory →One system. Tailored views for every team.
The controller closes the books, project managers watch job cost, and crews log hours, all in the same system. Role permissions decide who sees payroll, banking, and job data.

Equipment cost and hours by unit
Job hours from timesheets are charged to each job at the unit rate. Repairs, fuel, and other costs are tracked per unit, so you can compare cost per hour with what you charge.
Purchase orders tied to job budgets
Each PO line is coded to a job and cost code. Vendor invoices match against the PO, and the remaining balance shows what is still committed.
Timekeeping everyone can use
Each person clocks into the work they are doing. Approved hours post to job cost and payroll.
