Construction accounts payable and expenses, coded to the job

A receipt snapped at the supply counter is coded to the right job before the truck leaves. Mileage and per diem go in with it, so job costs stay current.

A site team in safety gear reading a blueprint together

Crews snap the receipt and pick the job at the counter, and the cost lands on the project the same day.

Construction accounts payable for sub and supplier invoices

Subcontractor and supplier invoices come into accounts payable, are read into fields and matched against the order they were raised for, then routed for approval like any other supplier invoice. The cost lands on the job the order belongs to, next to what the crews spent in the field.

  • Sub invoices matched against the order
  • Approval routed before anything is paid
  • Cost charged to the job and cost code

Crews code the cost at the supply counter

Snap the receipt and pick the job. Reading the receipt, coding it and checking it against your policy all happen without the crew doing anything else, and nobody fills in a form back at the office.

  • Works with no signal and syncs once you're back in range
  • Pick the job from a list, no typing job numbers
  • Policy checked when the receipt is captured

See what each job has cost so far

Every capture carries its job. The numbers for that job move while the work is still going on and you can see a problem while the crew is still on site.

Mileage and per diem get paid with everything else

Kilometres and daily allowances go in with the rest of the expense and get paid in the same run, at the rates you configure.

Why teams switch

Receipts ride in the truck until month-end.

Receipts ride around in the truck until somebody cleans out the glovebox at month-end.

The receipt is captured at the counter in a few seconds and coded to the job before the crew pulls out of the yard.

We rebuild job cost at month-end from memory and a pile of paper, and by then the job has moved on.

Costs hit the job as the work happens. The cost-to-complete number is current enough to act on while it still matters.

Nobody in the office wants to chase mileage and per diem on a spreadsheet.

Kilometres and daily allowances are logged next to the receipt and paid out in the same reimbursement run, at the rates you set.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us before they sign up.

Construction accounts payable software handles the supplier and subcontractor invoices a contractor receives: it reads each one, matches it against the order it was raised for, routes it for approval and charges the cost to the right job. Smartbills does that in the same place your crews' receipts, mileage and per diem are coded to the job.

Yes. Captures are saved on the phone and sync as soon as there's a connection. The crew doesn't have to remember anything once they're back in range.

Whoever captures it picks the job from a list, which stops the same project from being spelled three different ways. Merchant, amount, tax and category are read off the receipt.

Both go in alongside expenses and get paid in the same run, at rates you set. Because they sit on the same record as the job, they're costed to the project and stay out of overhead.

Yes. They come into Accounts Payable, get matched against the order and are routed for approval like any other supplier invoice. The cost goes to the job the order was raised for.
