Built for the trades

Which of these costs you money?

Finding out a job lost money after it is finished.

Each job compares the estimate with what you have spent and forecasts the final profit while the work is still going.

No clear list of who owes you.

Money to collect lists overdue invoices by age (1 to 7 days, 8 to 30 days, over 30 days), deposits not invoiced and finished work not invoiced.

Crew hours that never make it onto the job.

Approved hours become the job's labor cost, at regular and overtime rates, on the job they belong to.

A discount that quietly wipes out the profit on a bid.

A minimum-profit floor on every estimate, with overhead and target margin built in.

Change orders and retainage tracked on scraps of paper.

Change orders get their own budget, and progress invoices track retainage still held.

Software fees every month, even in a slow season.

One payment of $79.99. No subscription and no monthly bill.

Job profit

Will this job make money before it ends?

Every job compares what you bid with what you have spent, by category, and forecasts where it will finish.

Estimate versus actual for materials, labor, subs and equipment
Forecast final cost, profit and margin
Change orders with their own budget

Job screen comparing estimate to actual costs by category, with forecast final cost and forecast profit — A kitchen remodel tracked against its estimate. Example data.

Who owes you

Who owes you, and how late?

Invoices come straight from the job, so finished work does not go unbilled.

Overdue invoices with the number of days late
Deposits not invoiced and finished work not invoiced
Retainage still held, and partial payments

Invoices and payments screen with outstanding, overdue and paid invoices — Outstanding and overdue at a glance. Example data.

Crew hours

Where do your crew hours go?

Hours become labor cost the moment you approve them.

Regular and overtime rates for each employee
Hours against a job or company overhead
Approved wages not yet paid, tracked

Employees and time screen with approved wages, time awaiting approval and the time register — Approved hours and wages owed. Example data.

Everything included

What does a job look like from bid to paid?

Every feature below is in the app today, for one payment.

Bids that protect your margin

Line items for materials, labor, subs and equipment, with overhead, target margin, tax, deposit and a minimum-profit floor. PDF estimates and follow-up dates.

Job profit, live

An accepted bid becomes the job. Estimate versus actual by category, change orders, and forecast final cost and profit.

Get paid for every stage

Deposit, progress and final invoices by amount or percent complete, retainage, partial payments, and days late on every overdue invoice.

Job costs with receipts

Record each cost against the job or company overhead, paid or unpaid, with the receipt photo attached.

Crew hours and labor cost

Employees with regular and overtime rates. Draft hours change nothing until approved; approved hours land on the job as labor cost.

Bonus: profit-leak detector

Profit review flags losing jobs, jobs under margin, invoices over 30 days late, unbilled extras and missing details.

13-week cash plan

See a low-cash week coming, and test what slow-paying customers would do to it.

Bring your lists, hand off clean files

Import customers or a price list from Excel or CSV. Export to Excel or accountant-ready CSV.

Office PC and job-site laptops

Laptops share records with the office over your own network and keep working offline. A crew role limits what a field laptop can see.

What it does not do

So you can decide quickly.

It is not accounting software, and it does not file taxes or run payroll.
It does not connect to bank feeds. You enter amounts yourself.
It does not send email for you. It creates the PDF; you send it.
No phone, tablet, Mac or web version. It is a Windows desktop app.
