Example Workflow
-
Set Up:
-
In the Workspace Manager, create a project and your home company.
-
Add a subcontractor company to work with.
-
-
Assign Permissions:
-
Give project managers access to manage costs.
-
Grant subcontractors access to submit claims and invoices.
-
-
Create Purchase Orders:
-
The builder creates a PO in the Cost Manager (Contractor View).
-
The subbie receives an instant email notification and logs in to view it (Subcontractor View).
-
-
Submit and Approve Claims:
-
The subbie submits a claim against the PO.
-
The builder is notified, logs in, and approves the claim with a simple status change and note.
-
Subbie gets an instant approval notification and sees updated PO progress.
-
-
Create and Approve Invoices:
-
The subbie creates an invoice.
-
The builder reviews it in the Cost Manager, approves it, and marks it as paid (or pending payment).
-
The subbie is notified that payment is on the way — no chasing required.
-
This end-to-end flow ensures transparency, accountability, and speed — turning one of the most frustrating parts of construction into one of the smoothest.
