Platform overview

One system for the office, the jobs, and the field

Executive overview: cash position $1,399,208, revenue year to date $6,513,470, AR outstanding $1,273,453, gross profit $977,021, open jobs, open work orders, AP outstanding, monthly revenue, and AR aging
Around every module

Dashboards, reports, an assistant, and permissions

The tools that sit across payables, receivables, jobs, payroll, and the field.

  1. Executive dashboard

    An executive dashboard with cash, revenue, receivables, and WIP

    The executive dashboard has tabs for the overview, cash and financials, jobs and WIP, and divisions, with a glossary for every number. Pick the fiscal year and turn widgets on or off; each user keeps their own layout.

    • Cash by bank account, profit and loss, and cash flow position
    • Monthly revenue, AR aging, and division performance
    • WIP contract summary with over and under billing
    • Fifteen widgets across five tabs, set per user
    Executive dashboard jobs and WIP tab: open jobs, contract billings open, revenue and gross profit, WIP contract summary, and monthly revenue vs COGS vs gross profit
  2. Dashboards

    A home dashboard for each team

    Build dashboards from widgets for AP paid, AR collected, aged invoices, aged billings, account balances, and quick links. Drag widgets into place, and keep a dashboard private, share it with specific users, or share it with the whole company.

    • Several dashboards per user, with one set as home
    • Create, clone, and share dashboards
    • Aged receivables and payables charts by age bucket
    • Quick links to vendors, invoices, customers, and employees

  3. CP Assistant

    Ask how to do something and get the steps with screenshots

    • How-to answers for payroll, billing, and job cost with the steps and screenshots
    • Get help with this page, with a summary of the screen
    • Look up and count records such as jobs, vendors, and work orders

  4. Users & roles

    Invite users with the roles they need

    Invite a user by email, pick their roles, and link them to an employee record if they log time. Roles are sets of permissions you define, from full company admin to a field employee who only submits timesheets.

    • Give the payroll clerk payroll access and a foreman only timesheets
    • Custom roles with the permissions each team needs
    • Built-in Company Admin, Company User, and Employee roles
    • Several companies under one organization
    Invite user to Construction Partner: select roles such as timesheets, service billing, project manager, operations, job costing, equipment purchasing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and employee
  5. Easy to work in

    Excel-style entry, shortcuts, import, and export

    Accountants enter invoice, billing, and journal lines in a grid like Excel, paste rows from a spreadsheet, and duplicate the line above. Vendor, customer, and invoice lists import from and export to Excel or CSV, switch between grouped and list views, and print. Ctrl+K opens any page or finds a job, vendor, or employee.

    • Import and export to Excel or CSV on vendors, customers, accounts, invoices, and more
    • Edit invoice, billing, and journal lines in the grid, with copy and paste
    • Grouped or list views on open invoices, billings, and payables, plus bulk delete and print
