Construction companies lack a dedicated, seamless solution for work-in-progress (WIP) and job costing, forcing them to manage complex cost data with manual spreadsheet overlays on top of QuickBooks.

QuickBooks alone lacks robust WIP and job costing capabilities for construction, and add-on spreadsheets create a messy, error-prone manual layer that doesn't integrate cleanly.
