Trades & Construction
Get paid for the work the day it is finished.
The job finishes on site at 4pm. The invoice goes out nine days later, once someone has matched the timesheet to the job, chased the variation and worked out the materials. That gap is your cash flow, and it is created entirely by paperwork.
Calculate Your SavingsWhere the week goes now
- ✕Invoices raised days or weeks after the job is done
- ✕Timesheets re-typed from paper or an app into payroll
- ✕Variations agreed on site and forgotten before billing
- ✕Health and safety records written up at the end of the week
- ✕Materials and hours reconciled by memory
What happens instead
- ✓Job marked complete on site raises the invoice the same day
- ✓Approved timesheets flow to payroll without being re-entered
- ✓Variations captured against the job the moment they happen
- ✓Safety records filed as the work occurs, not retrospectively
- ✓Certificates and compliance documents stored where you can find them

An estimate, not a measured result — based on a 48-week working year. Use the calculator for figures built on your own team.
The actual jobs
Named work, not “admin”.
These are the specific end-to-end jobs we automate in trades & construction businesses. If you recognise three of them as your week, there is a case to be made.

Trades & Construction case study
We publish client results only when a client has put their name to them and the before-and-after numbers have been measured, not estimated. When a trades & construction business does, this is where it goes. In the meantime the calculator gives you your own numbers rather than somebody else's.
Works with what you run
Keep every system you already use.
Nothing is replaced and nobody retrains. If one of your systems is older or more awkward than the rest, that is usually the one hiding the biggest saving.
Accomplish more with the people you already have.
Half an hour with us and you will know which hours your firm is losing, what they cost you a year, and whether automating them is worth it.
