Trades and construction

For builders, earthmoving and landscaping businesses, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, roofers, HVAC, and other licensed trades.

What we track

  • Margin by job
  • Quoting accuracy
  • Work in progress
  • Progress claims
  • Debtor days
  • Labour utilisation

Common cash problems

  • Slow-paying builders and clients
  • Retentions held for months
