What gets in the way, every day
Projects over budget
You find a project lost money after it ends, not while it runs.
Equipment and custody
Equipment moves between sites and workers with no clear record of where it is and what it is worth.
Workers' documents
IDs, residence permits and contracts expire unnoticed and work stops.
Cash between payments
Heavy daily spending while customer payments come late.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see the profit of each project?
Yes. The project page shows what you billed minus everything you spent on it, and cost against budget, as you go.
Can I follow workers' documents and their expiry?
Yes. The Documents and contracts screen lists IDs, residence permits, passports and work contracts that have expired or are about to.
Can I record equipment as assets?
Yes. Record the asset from a purchase invoice or as a direct purchase; depreciation is worked out automatically, and you record moves to another site or hand-overs to an employee.
Which plan suits contracting?
The Business plan includes every suggested app. Full prices are on the pricing page.
