01Provenance

Built by the trade, not for the trade.

The contractor behind this system — a 90-year-old union wall-and-ceiling contractor in Southern California — didn't buy its software. It wrote it, and kept writing it for fifty years.

1975
The contractor writes its first payroll ERP — and runs its business on its own software from then on.
1975—2025
That software grows up on real jobs: union fringe, prevailing wage, retention, change orders, five hundred paychecks every week.
Now
We rebuilt it as a modern web system — and proved it penny-exact against the old books before anyone switched.

02The system

Every seat gets its own desk.

Role-scoped workspaces — each person signs in to their work, not to an ERP.

Foreman

Crew timecards from the jobsite

Hours by job, phase, and workcode — RT, OT, DT — entered from a phone at the end of the shift, not re-keyed in the office on Friday.

Project Manager

Budget vs actual, live

Manloading, variance, and daily reports against the original budget — with an audit gate before a job runs over.

Payroll

The union pay run, handled

Ratecards, fringe, garnishments, preflight checks, printed paychecks — a full weekly cycle in one screen.

Progress billing your GC recognizes

Schedule of values, work completed, retention held and released — AIA-style billing worksheets out of the box.

Checks that clear audits

Bulk payment runs, positive-pay bank files, a check-number ledger, and 1099s at year end.

Owner

The whole book on one screen

Jobs In Progress: contract, cost to date, and margin for every active job — updated nightly.

03One ledger

Entered once. Posted everywhere.

A timecard entered in the field is the only time that day's labor is keyed. From that one entry the system posts the union pay run, the fully-burdened cost on the job, the general-ledger entry, and the certified-report line — the same posted payroll, not four copies of it. No file to carry into a second system, nothing re-keyed, no reconcile loop between them.

04Job cost

Know the problem in week one — not three months later.

Every dollar on a job — field labor, burden and overhead, materials, subcontractors — rolls up from source documents into one cost ledger. Snapshots run nightly, so the cost trend is visible while the job can still be saved.

05Compliance

Public works without the panic.

Certified payroll, union benefit exports, apprentice ratios, local-hire and utilization reports — native outputs, not a Friday afternoon of WH-347 grind in Excel. Practitioners spend 3–5 hours per project per week on certified payroll by hand; Davis-Bacon penalties run $85K–$947K plus debarment.

AB 889 is in force.

Since January 1, 2026, California requires annualization of every fringe benefit across public and private hours, bans frontloading, and gives you 10 days to produce records — $100 per worker per day if you can't. If your payroll system can't annualize, that's now a compliance gap.

06The gap

The gap we sit in.

QuickBooks + spreadsheets

Misses 15–25% of true job cost. No certified payroll. No retention.

Payroll-layer SaaS

Handles the pay run, not the books. You still buy — and reconcile — a second system.

Legacy construction ERP

The compliance depth is there — behind per-seat pricing and a UI from 1999.

Ledgerline

One native system: accounting, union payroll, job cost, and field ops. Modern web, works on a phone. No per-seat meter.

Explore

Explore the system.

Six deep dives into the parts that matter to a controller — the product, and the compliance work most systems leave to you.

01 — Job Costing

Fully-burdened cost to date, traced to source documents — known in week one, not at closeout.

02 — Accounting

GL, AP and AR in one system with job cost — no export-and-reconcile loop with a second ledger.

03 — Billing

Progress billing by percent complete, retention held and released, change orders into contract value.

04 — Field Operations

Foreman timecards and daily reports from a phone — costed the same week, not re-keyed on Friday.

05 — Union Payroll

Ratecards, fringes, garnishments and benefit reporting — burdened labor flows straight to job cost.

06 — Certified Payroll

The public-works report shelf: prevailing wage, apprentice ratios, local hire — named and exportable.
