JobTread

By audience

Construction Management

• Run every job from one record — budget, tasks, daily logs, change orders and actual costs all post against the same cost codes.
• Compare projected against actual cost per job and across the whole portfolio from the reporting dashboards.
• Approve field time entries before they push to payroll in Gusto or QuickBooks Online.
• Issue POs and work orders to subs and suppliers and see which bills are still outstanding.

General Contracting

• Manage a portfolio of residential and light-commercial jobs without an enterprise PM rollout.
• Collect sub and vendor pricing through Bid Requests and convert an accepted bid into a PO in one click.
• Give subs and vendors a portal to accept POs, submit bills and upload photos instead of emailing them.
• Track warranty claims on completed jobs so callbacks stay attached to the original job record.

Specialty Contracting

• Roofers, pool builders, outdoor-living and trade contractors run estimating and job costing on the same platform their GCs use.
• Pull live supplier pricing from SRS Roof Hub, QXO or Home Depot into an estimate instead of rekeying a quote.
• Populate takeoff quantities from EagleView or HOVER measurements without a second site visit.
• Track crew hours by job and cost code from the mobile app.

Estimator

• Build job budgets from a reusable cost catalog with formula-driven takeoff quantities.
• Use the Web Clipper to pull products, pricing, photos and specs off supplier sites straight into the cost catalog.
• Turn an approved estimate into the job budget, so the estimate becomes the cost baseline rather than a separate document.
• Send proposals for eSignature and see when the customer opened them.

Accounting & Finance

• Sync customers, vendors, cost codes, invoices and time entries two-way with QuickBooks Online, or with Xero via Zapier.
• Produce AIA-style payment applications for progress billing on light-commercial work.
• Reconcile sub and vendor bills against the POs they were issued under before paying them.
• Bookkeepers manage several JobTread client accounts from one login under the Accounting Partner program.

By phase

Pre-Construction

• Capture and qualify leads in the built-in construction CRM before a job record exists.
• Produce takeoff quantities and a cost-catalog-priced budget, then issue the proposal and contract for eSignature.
• Run bid requests out to subs and suppliers and compare the returned pricing against the budget.

Construction

• Log daily activity, photos and field time against the job from the mobile app.
• Manage change orders so a scope change reprices the budget and reaches the customer portal for approval.
• Issue POs and work orders, receive bills, and watch actual cost land against each cost code.

Closeout & Operations

• Track customer warranties and claims against jobs already completed.
• Close out final billing and collect the last payment through the customer portal.
• Hand the completed job's customer record to NiceJob to trigger a review and referral campaign.
