04 — Price Intelligence
CostMetrx
Built from approved invoices only. Every item carries a current price, an all-time low and high, and a price history you can read at a glance. A sharp move off an item’s normal price raises an alert, so you see which vendor is raising prices before it costs you more than you predicted.
- Biggest movers surface automatically, climbing and falling, so a price shift shows up before it reaches your next order.
- The current price is set per unit—per sheet, roll, or cubic yard—and built so one odd invoice cannot skew it.
- Every item opens to its own history: spent, quantity bought, current price, all-time low and high, and the date of the last purchase.

The Full Platform
Thirteen connected systems. One source of truth.
Invoice processing, cash flow, vendor tracking, CostMetrx, active job spend, field logs, budgets, actual breakdowns, inventory, equipment, cost per unit of work, and timesheets close the gap between what happens in the field, what the office approves, and what the books show.
General contractors & owners
See spend, margin, and exposure across every active job on one screen, with price-spike alerts before they reach your next order.
Project managers
Run the job by the numbers: budget and actual by cost code, updated the moment invoices land, with daily field logs and live job spend on the same screen.
Finance & back office
Close faster with every dollar coded: invoices auto-matched to jobs and cost codes, with a complete, exportable audit trail.
