Main challenges for contracting companies
Budgets drift silently
Site expenses and purchase orders post outside the project budget until the invoice arrives.
Subcontractor chaos
Subcontractor scope, payments, and retention are tracked in scattered contracts and spreadsheets.
Manual progress certificates
Completion percentage and progress certificates are compiled by hand each billing cycle.
Cash flow surprises
Advance payments, retention, and variations make project cash flow hard to forecast.
