Subcontractor invoices scan too
Photograph a paper invoice the same way as a counter receipt, and the invoice number is captured when it is printed. Images only: PDFs and forwarded emails cannot be imported.
For general contractors
Materials, subs and plant hire — on the right job.
Running a site means paying for things from a lot of directions at once. Photograph every ticket and invoice and each one lands against the job it belongs to.
The pile in the van
Why the paper never gets recorded
A site generates costs from everywhere: the merchant, the plant-hire firm, the scaffold company, the skip, and a stack of subcontractor invoices that arrive by email, by text and on paper. Each one belongs to a job, and none of them arrive labelled.
By the time the job closes, reconstructing what it cost means going back through three months of paper — and the client conversation happens before that is finished.

Where you buy
Suppliers folded into one record each
Every spelling that resolves to a supplier is recorded against one durable record, so what you spend at each is a real number rather than five partial ones.

Line items, not just a total
Quantity, unit price and line total for every item on the ticket — which is what makes price history possible at all.

Why it fits
Four things that matter on this work
Equipment rental as its own line
Plant, lifts and scaffolding are a real category, so hire costs show up separately instead of blurring into materials.
Spend against the budget you set
A cost ceiling per job with spent, remaining and percentage used — and a warning when the burn rate outruns the schedule.
Sits under your build software
This is not a build-management platform. It is the receipt-to-cost layer those platforms do not have. Run both.

Straight answer
Can it tell me whether the job is making money?
No, and it will not pretend to. The app records expenses only — there is no revenue, no contract value and no draw schedule in it. What it gives you is exactly what the job has cost so far, against the budget you set.
