Pick a starting point: bid, order, change order, payment application – or the database behind them all.
Running packages across several live projects, each with its own scope, schedule and payment cycle.
Tracking subcontract orders, change orders and payment applications with no single source of truth.
A subcontract starts at one number and quietly ends at another, and nobody can explain the difference until the job's finished.
One system for the whole subcontract lifecycle - without buying enterprise software built for $500M contractors.
Trusted by general contractors and specialist subcontractors managing hundreds of subcontract packages
"Everything has a PO linked to a job number. No one does a job without a purchase order, so when I look at margin I know it’s the true margin."

Bid, order, change order, payment application, retainage and closeout – normally spread across five tools and a dozen email threads. Planyard keeps them tied to one subcontract order and one budget line.
Book a demoRaise a subcontract order once, and watch its schedule of values, change orders, retainage and prepayment update automatically as the job runs.
Bids checked against your budget, so pricing risk is caught before you sign.
Agreed by you or submitted by the subcontractor - committed costs move in real time.
Every stage of the lifecycle connected to the same budget line.
"As previously the subcontractors all sent separate bids, applications for payment, and invoices, then now all of them are collected on Planyard. Things no longer get lost in my e-mail."

Subcontractors get a link, submit monthly progress against the contracted schedule of values, and can’t overbill you – no accounts to create, no spreadsheets to chase.
Start free trialPayment applications by percentage, unit or value directly against what's contracted.
The system won't let them bill more than what's left.
Calculated and deducted on every payment application, with a PDF payment application generated for both sides.
Approved invoices flow into Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or MYOB - no re-keying, no duplicate data entry.
"Since implementing the system, I haven't had a single complaint or support call from our subcontractors. Not one person has had trouble submitting their valuations, and no one has had to chase me for a payment outside of the system. It’s been completely seamless."

See what's committed, what's still to come, and what it means for the real margin.
Approved invoices flow straight into Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or MYOB – no re-keying, no duplicate data entry.

Software that manages the full commercial lifecycle of a subcontract – bidding, orders, change orders, payment applications, retainage and closeout – connected to your project budget and accounting system, instead of scattered spreadsheets, PDFs and email threads.
Project management tools focus on schedule and site coordination. Planyard focuses on the commercial and financial side: what’s been ordered, what’s changed, what’s owed, and what it means for margin.
