with total Control
From BOQ to handover, run every phase on one platform. Real-time job costing, procurement, and site-to-office coordination give you the speed, insight, and control to deliver projects on time and on budget.
Why subcontractor control fails in spreadsheets
Subcontract cost and retention leak quietly - over-certified work, duplicate payments and releases nobody remembers.
- Work orders, measurements and bills sit in separate files
- Progress gets paid before it is certified on site
- Nobody can say what each subcontractor has been paid and is still owed
- Retention held by clients and from subcontractors is tracked by hand
- Release dates are missed, so cash stays locked up
- Client progress invoices are rebuilt from scratch every month
From work order to retention release
Every subcontract is linked to the project and BOQ, so certified, billed, paid and retained amounts are always visible - live.
