Job costing and analytics for contractors and construction companies

Know which jobs are making money while they’re still in progress, not after closeout. We connect estimating, project management, and accounting into one view of cost, backlog, and margin.

Where reporting usually breaks down

Margin fade shows up too late

By the time accounting closes the job, the overrun already happened.

The WIP schedule lives in a spreadsheet

Over and under billing gets calculated by hand, once a month, by one person.

Estimates never meet actuals

Without comparing them, the same estimating mistakes repeat job after job.

Metrics we build dashboards around

A starting point. Every business gets its own mix.
