Industries

Built for how you work

Different industries have different realities. We’ve built deep experience in each.

Construction

Get paid faster. Stay compliant. Control margin.

Construction finance runs on applications, valuations, retentions, and variations — not standard invoicing. Most ERP systems ignore this. We’ve built a purpose-built construction platform that handles the commercial and operational reality, integrated with iplicit for CIS, subcontractor payments, and project accounting.

Faster payment cycles

Automated application packs and payment notice workflows reduce days to certification

Live contract margins

Earned value tracking and cost-to-complete forecasts by cost code, updated in real time

Audit-ready compliance

One-click audit packs, competency matrices, and full document trails per project

How it works

Our construction platform manages the full commercial and operational workflow — applications, variations, subcontractor management, site diaries, compliance, and programme delivery. iplicit handles CIS, subcontractor payments, and project accounting. Qlik delivers project portfolio dashboards. The platform integrates with your existing ERP and finance systems via API.

  • Delivery and programme reliability scoring

Procurement and supplier control

  • Requisition to PO with approval workflows
  • Delivery notes and GRN: match to PO, track shortages and damages
  • Price books: supplier catalogues, agreed rates, inflation updates

Timesheets and payroll

  • Labour allocation: hours to job, cost code, activity
  • Expense capture: mileage, subsistence, receipts
  • Agency labour: rate cards, approval, invoice checking

Cashflow and finance outputs

  • Cashflow forecast based on applications, certified amounts, payment terms, and retentions
  • WIP inputs and outputs for month-end
  • Client and project profitability: margin by project, region, customer, PM

Controls and reporting

  • Approval workflows for applications, variations, POs, timesheets, expenses
  • Role-based access: site vs commercial vs finance views
  • Dashboards: application status, overdue certs, forecast variance, aged debt, margin risk
  • Exception management: what needs attention today
