How a construction firm connected field work, project management and finance into a single system, and eliminated month-end reconciliation
Field workers submit on mobile. PMs approve inline with automatic cost recalculation. Finance invoices from the same data. No rekeying, no spreadsheets in between.

Bring us the workflow you dread
One session. We map where the hours actually go and show you what we would build.
Book a working sessionThe Challenge
Bulley & Andrews' field operations ran on manual coordination: work orders scheduled by phone, time and receipts logged on paper, subcontractor invoices tracked by email, and finance chasing missing data at month-end. Cost rollups were built manually per project. Approval bottlenecks slowed billing. There was no single view for PMs from field submission through to invoice.
What Attri Built
A six-module field-to-finance platform managing the full lifecycle of field work, from work-order creation through invoicing subcontractors and generating financial reports.
- Work Orders: full metadata capture, cost entries, field submissions, strict pre-delete validation across every linked table
- Projects & Jobs: inline status updates, accurate billable cost rollup, cascade validation across all linked work orders
- Scheduling & Calendar: multi-day crew assignment, vacation and time-off blocking, per-day editing, custom views by staff, project, day, week or month
- Field Submissions & Approvals: a mobile app for field workers to submit time, receipts, vendor invoices and completion notes, with PMs reviewing and approving inline and cost recalculating automatically
- Invoicing: T&M and Sworn Statement PDF generation, subcontractor invoice request and upload flows, approval routing with Job # visibility
- Reports & Exports: Transaction, Labor/Payroll with approval status, employee search, ST/OT/DT filtered totals, credit card and payroll exports with per-export exclude toggles
- A full suite of print-ready PDFs: work orders with embedded field photos, T&M and Sworn Statement invoices, and estimates with configurable verbiage
Delivery Approach
A Time & Materials engagement with monthly development cycles tracked in Basecamp. Bugs and internally-raised defects are tracked separately from billable T&M, so scoping and billing stay transparent every cycle. Alongside the live platform, Attri is developing AI features on the WOT data layer. The first AI initiative is job rollover automation, carrying jobs forward between periods without manual ops intervention.
The Outcome
Field submissions flow directly to billing. PMs approve inline with automatic cost recalculation, eliminating the manual reconciliation step at month-end
One system replaced fragmented tools across field, PM, subcontractor and finance workflows
Print-ready PDFs on demand. Work orders, invoices and estimates generate from platform data with embedded field photos
AI features accreting inside the same system. Job-rollover automation is in development now, delivered into the tool the team already uses
The customer-value payload
WOT collapsed a 6-tool, spreadsheet-glued field-ops process into a single platform where field workers, PMs, subcontractors and finance all operate on the same data, and where AI automation now ships without another integration project.
