What's new

Workpacks template authoring, versioning, and sign‑off

Standardise how work gets packaged, reviewed, and approved — without rebuilding templates from scratch on every job.

What it does:

• Author and version templates — publish, archive, and start new revisions when standards change
• Clone templates to stand up new projects faster with proven structures
• Recall/revise workpacks and invite external reviewers for smoother sign‑off outside your org
• Locale‑aware reference standards so the right compliance rules apply in the right region

Where you'll find it: Workpacks in your team workspace — template library, project workpack flows, and reviewer invitations.

Who benefits: Project managers coordinating subcontractor packages, HSE and quality leads enforcing standards, and commercial teams chasing sign‑off before work starts.

SMS opt‑in, pricing, and messaging compliance

Stay transparent with crews and clients about SMS, with pricing and policy updates that match how you communicate from site.

What it does:

• Adds a clear SMS opt‑in link in the site footer for transparent consent
• Updates SMS top‑up pricing for US and Canada
• Advances SMS Module v3 (regulatory bundle underway)
• Updates Privacy Policy and Terms to reflect messaging features

Where you'll find it: Site footer (opt‑in); SMS settings and billing for top‑ups; legal pages for updated policies.

Who benefits: Operations admins managing field communications, finance teams purchasing SMS credits, and compliance owners reviewing consent and policy language.

Invoicing and quotes that match how you bill

Progress claims and provisional work no longer fight the system — tax defaults apply automatically and quotes accept the line types you actually use on site.

What it does:

• Default tax rate auto‑applies on new invoices — fewer manual overrides before send
• Zero‑quantity items on quotes for provisional and time‑and‑materials lines
• Smoother quote creation and editing with fewer interruptions and blocked redirects resolved

Where you'll find it: Invoicing and Quotes in your financial management flows.

Who benefits: Construction finance, AR leads preparing progress invoices against SOVs, and estimators building quotes with provisional allowances.

Supplier invoices and cost‑code matching

Capture supplier paperwork faster and keep job costs aligned from docket through to Schedule of Rates.

What it does:

• Faster supplier invoice creation with search and auto‑deduping of line items
• Clearer names, descriptions, and optional fields on invoice lines
• Consistent cost‑code matching from dockets to SoR for more accurate job costing

Where you'll find it: Supplier invoices / accounts payable and Schedule of Rates / docket flows where cost codes apply.

Who benefits: AP clerks entering vendor bills, cost controllers reconciling burn, and PMs reviewing margin with codes that line up across sources.

Field dockets data source and richer maps

Connect field capture to reporting and automations, and give supervisors better site context on the map.

What it does:

• Adds Dockets as a Field data source for reporting and automations
• Delivers richer map layers and on‑map drawing for site plans and spatial context

Where you'll find it: Field configuration for data sources; map views where layers and drawing are enabled.

Who benefits: Foremen logging dockets on site, project engineers aligning plans to actuals, and ops leads building automations off docket events.

Schedule of Rates reporting upgrades

Find the transactions that matter and keep reviewing while data refreshes in the background.

What it does:

• Search and filters on the SoR transactions table
• Summary tiles for at‑a‑glance SoR KPIs
• Transactions remain visible during background refresh — no blank screen mid‑review

Where you'll find it: Schedule of Rates reporting — transactions list and summary dashboard.

Who benefits: SOR administrators, finance reconciling docket‑driven billing, and PMs checking rate usage against the contract.

Payroll: RDO rules and overtime accuracy

Pay runs respect rostered days off and daily overtime triggers fire at the right thresholds.

What it does:

• Adds RDO (rostered day off) rules support for correct treatment on rostered rest days
• Fixes early daily overtime triggers so pay calculations match your EBA and award settings

Where you'll find it: Payroll rules and pay run configuration; review results in Timesheet Summary and pay exports.

Who benefits: Payroll admins, union stewards validating EBA compliance, and finance teams avoiding manual overtime adjustments.

Reliability, UX, and platform hardening

Fewer “did that save?” moments, a cleaner experience in dark mode, and a platform that stays fast and secure at scale.

What it does:

• Resolves silent save issues on bids and quotes
• Fixes blocked redirects during quote creation
• Corrects durations when re‑importing data in reports
• Dark‑mode polish for tabs and forms
• Strengthened permissions and faster large summaries for snappier reporting
• Safer key/config handling, cleaner data lifecycle management, and expanded automated test coverage

Who benefits: Everyone from estimators to payroll — especially teams working late on site or in the office when polish and trust matter most.

Why it matters for construction teams

• Faster package and sign‑off cycles: Workpacks versioning, cloning, and external reviewers cut weeks of email chasing before work is authorised.
• Fewer billing and quote errors: Auto‑applied tax defaults and zero‑qty quote lines match how progress claims and provisional SOV lines really work.
• Cleaner payables and job costs: Supplier invoice search, deduping, and docket‑to‑SoR cost‑code matching reduce rework before month‑end.
• Better field‑to‑finance visibility: Dockets in Field plus searchable SoR transactions mean site capture shows up where finance and PMs already work.
• Payroll you can defend: RDO rules and corrected daily overtime protect margin and keep EBA audits straightforward.
• A platform that keeps pace: Silent‑save fixes, uninterrupted SoR reviews, and security hardening mean fewer surprises during payroll week and billing close.

Getting started

• Workpacks: Open Workpacks — browse templates, publish or archive versions, clone into a new project, and use recall/revise plus external reviewer invites where your role allows. See the new Workpacks documentation for step‑by‑step guidance.
• Invoices & quotes: Create a new invoice to confirm your default tax rate applies; build or edit quotes with zero‑quantity lines where you use provisional or T&M structures.
• Supplier invoices: Use Supplier invoices — search vendors, add lines (deduping applies automatically), and complete optional description fields before posting.
• Field & maps: In Field, connect the Dockets data source for reporting/automations; open map views to use new layers and on‑map drawing where enabled.
• Schedule of Rates: Open SoR reporting — filter and search transactions, watch summary tiles, and continue reviewing while background refresh runs.
• Payroll: Review payroll rules for RDO support and run the next pay period to validate daily overtime behaviour against your awards.
• SMS: Confirm footer opt‑in visibility for your org; review updated Privacy Policy and Terms if you use SMS; check top‑up pricing in SMS billing settings for US/CA.
