Two jobs, one truck,zero loose receipts
Meet Dario, a GC running a kitchen remodel and a deck build at the same time. His dashboard used to be the filing system. Here's a Thursday with the jobs doing their own bookkeeping.
The setup — an illustrative scenario, not a customer reviewDario runs two or three residential jobs at a time with a small crew. Every job means supply runs, fuel, rentals, and dump fees — and until recently, a glovebox archive that his bookkeeper dreaded. Now each job has its own workspace, and receipts get scanned where they happen.

Lumber before coffee
First stop is the supply house for the deck build. Dario scans the slip at the counter and picks the deck job's workspace — the crew is still loading the truck when it saves.

Fuel, split-second decision
Filling the truck between sites. Fuel is shop overhead, not job cost — one tap on the workspace picker keeps the deck job's margin honest.

The emergency hardware run
The kitchen remodel needs cabinet hinges nobody planned for. Small receipt, real job cost — scanned into the kitchen workspace before he's out of the parking lot.

Cash dump fee, no slip
The transfer station takes cash and hands back nothing. Dario adds it manually in the truck — merchant, amount, job — so the record stays complete.

The number that changed the quote
At home, the deck job's dashboard shows materials running hot. Next week's change-order conversation now comes with numbers instead of a hunch.
What changed
The shift, in Dario's scenario
Job costing moved to real time
Overruns show up while the job is running — when there's still time to adjust the quote or the plan.
The bookkeeper gets a CSV, not a bag
Month end is one export per job. Faded thermal paper stopped being anyone's problem.
Overhead and job costs stopped mixing
Fuel and shop supplies live in their own workspace, so each job's margin reflects the job — not the truck.
The features doing the work
- Workspaces — A workspace per job plus one for shop overhead is the whole system.
- AI receipt scanning — Counter-side scans catch supply runs before slips reach the dashboard.
- Manual entry — Cash dump fees and no-slip purchases get added by hand in seconds.
- Dashboards — Live materials totals per job back up change-order conversations.
- CSV export — Month-end handoff to the bookkeeper is one export per workspace.
