For the owner's team that has to approve what the contractors bill.

The problem
The problem

Find the daily, or just trust it.

Contractor invoices arrive at month end. To trust a line, someone on your side has to find the daily it came from and check it by hand, or just trust it.

The outcome

Every line traced before you approve it.

Every contractor line traced to the daily, the photo and the person who wrote it, before you approve it. Questions get asked while the work is still fresh, not at month end.

From the field

We sent those invoices.

We worked for the contractors who bill owners like you. We know what a daily leaves out, and which line on the invoice to ask about.
