Payment Applications and Cash Visibility for SME Subcontractors
BuildQS gives SME subcontractor teams one workflow for payment applications, retention tracking, and cash visibility across active projects.
Typical SME Workflow Gaps
- Owner visibility is delayed — Financial position is often only clear at month end.
- Project teams use inconsistent templates — Different claim formats create rework and risk.
- Finance handoff is manual — Approved claims are re-entered into accounting systems.
- Retention is tracked in separate files — Portfolio-level retention exposure is hard to review.
How BuildQS Helps SME Subcontractors Scale
- Approval Workflows to standardise monthly claim operations.
- Cash Flow Forecasting to project expected inflows from claims and retention.
- Team Collaboration to align project, commercial, and finance users.
- Xero Integration to reduce duplicate data entry into accounting.
- Automatic Calculations to reduce spreadsheet risk as project volume grows.
