Pre-approved invoices are sent to accountants or accounting software
When a project manager approves an invoice or a receipt in Planyard, the system automatically sends the approved costs along with the original invoice or receipt over to accounting. These costs are ready for payment.
There is no need to enter the line-items and allocated costs into your accounting software. The budget along with the allocated line item details are managed in Planyard.
The accounting can use the coding that they need for tax reporting.
Get the full details and context
When a project manager pre-approves an invoice, it is sent to accounting software automatically.
Apart from that, you’ll also receive an email that contains both the original invoice and a detailed overview of line-items – how much needs to be paid and how much is still free in the budget.
If the project manager has made an error when entering the details, you can request for a correction to make sure that the accounting is aligned with the budget management.
All invoices and details are stored and accessible
Planyard stores all the invoice files along with approval details, contracts, change orders, progress reports and other related information.
There is no need for creating digital folders or, worse, printing things out on paper to store them in physical folders.
All the financial information is easy to access through logs and powerful search.
In the rare case that your accounting software and Planyard show different numbers, you can compare numbers by subcontractor or by invoice.

Our customers about us
“I wanted to escape the spreadsheets, escape the manual data entry, and look for ways to stay on top of the budget numbers. It’s challenging within a development company to keep on top of your numbers.
So I came across Planyard in a search to improve the budget management processes and, to make my own life easier.
Planyard does that, and it takes your project budget and puts it very clearly on screen for you so you have a live real-time picture of where your project budget is at any given point.”
Ian Holford
Manager, Higgihaus Developments
“I have been working on cloud accounting tools like Xero and Quickbooks which are excellent, but they don’t have a specific construction-based costing tool.
Construction companies rely on expensive quantity surveyors and project managers to do a lot of data input on packages such as Excel which takes them away from focusing on value-added activities and driving the profit growth.
When I came across Planyard, I was relieved that there was finally a solution to this problem. Quotes, subcontract orders, purchase orders, invoices, progress bills, etc are put on the system and it’s linked directly to the budget, CVRs, subcontractors, and the suppliers. This is making people’s lives a lot easier. Data is at hand, it’s automated and it gets everyone away from the out-dated requirement to fill out spreadsheets.”

“We save four working days each month per project manager. The biggest efficiency booster came from getting rid of duplicate data entry.”
