Project management

Project management software for trades, with live job costing

Run every project from one dashboard: tasks, crew, purchase orders, bills, invoices and photos, with running gross profit on every job.

Project dashboard

Every job in one place

Each project has its own dashboard, with tabs for quotes, purchase orders, bills and invoices, and a live view of revenue, cost and gross margin.

  • Running revenue, cost of sales and gross profit
  • Flags for jobs below their margin target
  • Business-wide view across all projects
  • Separate business units for multi-branch or multi-company groups

Tasks and crew

Plan the work and track the time

Break the project into tasks, assign your team and contractors, and see the schedule on a staff calendar or resource grid.

  • Tasks with checklists, documents and site directions
  • Time tracking on tasks from the phone
  • Timesheets by employee and by job

Communication

Chat, photos and documents stay with the job

ChatStream keeps every conversation, photo and file inside the project, instead of scattered across texts and WhatsApp.

  • One conversation per job
  • Progress and completion photos stored automatically
  • Completion reports emailed to the client and logged in their portal

Client portal

Clients see their job without the zip files

Each client gets a portal with their quotes, invoices, completion reports and job photos, so you stop emailing zip files and Dropbox links.

  • Completion report emailed and logged against the job
  • All task photos available to the client
  • Quotes and invoices on record

Built for trades with crews on site

Fieldstream suits businesses running projects with two or more people on site for days or weeks: electrical contractors, plumbing and gas, builders and fit-out, and signage and installation companies. It was built inside, and is used every day across, our own national signage, installation and billboard construction businesses.

Project management questions

Is it like Procore?

Fieldstream is built for small to mid-sized trade businesses, not large construction firms. It is set up for you, usually within a week, and learnable by your crew in a day.

Does it replace Xero?

No. Fieldstream manages the jobs and syncs invoices and bills to Xero, which stays your accounting system.
