§ 01The mess

Fifteen apps. One firm.
None of them talk to each other.

Most UK SMEs we meet are running on a stack that costs £400+ a month and 15 hours a week of context-switching. Friday afternoons chasing illegible timesheets. Monday mornings reconciling Sage. We've sat in those offices.

Friday, 4:47pm
Office manager rings round site managers chasing illegible timesheets.
≈ 4 hrs / week
Monday, 7:12am
Reconciling Sage against three WhatsApp groups and a scanned envelope.
≈ 6 hrs / week
Tender week
CDM 2015 file lives across Dropbox, paper folders, and one director's email.
Bid risk
Every payroll
Hours leaked to over-claims, missed clock-outs, and rounding goodwill.
≈ £18k / year

LOLER cert for the telehandler is in a box, expired last Tuesday.
HSE exposure
Project review
WIP, CVR and retention reconciled by hand from four spreadsheets.

Three apps frozen, signal patchy, lads stood around the cabin.

§ 02The cost of doing nothing

Plug your numbers in.
See what the mess actually costs you.

Four inputs. Live figure. No email gate, no follow-up sequence. We'd rather you walk away with an honest number than a download.

§ 04Why us, specifically

Why this is different
from the last four you tried.

The market is loud. Most of it is American, expensive, priced per helmet, or sold in to procurement and ignored on site. We're the opposite of all four.

01 / UK-FIRST

UK regulation as the baseline, not a localisation pass.

CDM 2015, CIS, MTD with domestic reverse charge, RIDDOR, LOLER, PUWER, COSHH, Working Time Regulations. We use the regulator's language because our reader knows it.

Versus Procore, PlanGrid, Buildertrend — US-built, expensive, missing the UK regulatory backbone.
02 / UNLIMITED

Unlimited users in every plan. We don't charge per helmet.

Add the labour gang, the subbies, the office, the directors, the QS. Same price. The whole point of consolidating onto one platform is everyone's actually on it.

Versus per-seat SaaS where the maths punishes you for putting workers on the system you bought to put workers on.
03 / ADOPTION

Field-crew adoption is the product, not an afterthought.

Mobile-first, glove-friendly, offline-tolerant, QR-based. Designed assuming a wet Tuesday on site, not a demo room. If the lads won't pull it out of their pocket, none of the rest matters.

Versus feature-bloat tools that win procurement and lose the toolbox.
04 / SUPPORT

UK-based phone support that knows what a programme slip costs.

A human in the UK answering the phone, not a chatbot in another timezone. They've been on sites. They speak the language.

Versus tier-1 ticketing that closes your case before they understand it.
§ 05What it looks like in practice

Three firms.
Three different headaches. One platform.

These are illustrative scenarios drawn from conversations with our pilot users. Real names, photos and case studies follow once we have written consent — we don't fabricate testimonials.

Illustrative Director on site, hi-vis, phone in hand
Director / Owner — South London
"We were on Excel, WhatsApp, Sage 50 and a paper RAMS folder. Now it's one app. The lads use it because it's quicker than the old way."
Recovered 11 hrs / week of admin time
Sarah, MD — 38-strong residential refurb firm, Bromley
Illustrative Site cabin, iPad on a folding table
Site Manager — North Kent
"Clock-in is QR by the gate. Photo verifies it's them. Friday timesheet hunt is gone. The QS gets the figures without me chasing."
Payroll signed off same day, every week
Marcus, Site Manager — civils contractor, Croydon
Illustrative Office desk, two monitors, mug of tea
Office Manager — Dartford
"I used to dread Mondays. Now Sage reconciles itself off Friday's hours. The CIS deductions just work. I got my evenings back."
From 15 apps down to one
Mark, Office Manager — M&E subcontractor, Dartford
