The construction reality

A site doesn't wait. A spreadsheet does.

By the time the QS has rolled up costs from the daily reports, the next order's already gone in. The numbers chase the project rather than steering it.

🚧

Cost-to-complete is a guess

Commitments live in site managers' inboxes. Headline cost figures arrive weeks after the orders that drove them.

📦

Materials and plant disagree

What was hired, what was delivered, what was returned and what was billed never quite line up — and someone pays for the gap.

📑

Retention and CIS slow everything

Subcontractor invoices require retention, CIS deductions and approvals across multiple parties. Manual handling kills the close.

Project codes get miscoded

A casual mis-code on a delivery note ends up in the wrong job. Profit on one project, loss on another — and the QS spends a week unpicking it.

What PurchaseFlow brings to construction

From PO to GRN to invoice — coded to the right project, every time.

PR

Project-coded ordering

Every PO, GRN and invoice tagged to the project, cost code and activity. Cost-to-complete is live, not lagged.

RT

Retention & CIS built-in

Apply retention automatically. CIS verification, deductions and monthly returns produced as a by-product of paying invoices.

PL

Plant & hire reconciliation

Hire on-hire, off-hire and returns matched to invoices — so you stop paying for skips that left site weeks ago.

SC

Subcontractor portal

Subbies submit applications and invoices in a portal that matches your valuation cycle. No more chasing PDFs.

AI

Five-check invoice intelligence

Price anomalies, duplicates, calc errors and fraud caught before the QS sees them — let alone before payment.

Live commercial dashboard

Project margin, committed spend, valuation vs cost — one place, one number, updated as the site moves.
