Who it’s for

Growing contractors who want simple, accurate work orders and time sheets linked to job costing: construction businesses, service/technician teams, rented labor & equipment, and infrastructure projects.

How Planyard Work Orders Work (and why they outperform spreadsheets)

Create work orders → Log hours & evidence → Approve hours → Forecast project end cost & bill the customer — all in one flow.

Create & assign work orders

Project managers or QSs quickly create work orders, link them to budget/cost codes, set rates/dates, and assign workers, subs, or equipment.

Each work order is delivered via a simple website — no apps or logins — so crews log hours, add photos/notes, and % complete.

Central worker rates

Standardize common tasks and worker rates across projects

Multi-assignee jobs

Assign multiple workers/equipment to a single work order

Budget linkage

Every task is tied to a budget item from the start

Email delivery

Workers receive job sheets and reminders by email — no app needed

Fast time capture (no app, no logins)

Workers submit hours per task, optionally add % complete, images of the done work, and their notes.

Adoption is frictionless because it arrives where they already are — their inbox or via SMS/WhatsApp.

Why contractors replace spreadsheets with Planyard

Spreadsheets are manual, error-prone and disconnected from forecasts — tiny mistakes get expensive, and overruns surface too late. Planyard gives a single, structured workflow that saves 4–6 days/month per PM/QS and prevents late-stage financial surprises.

Designed for field realities

Crews on multiple sites? Staggered shifts? You need mobile-friendly capture, per-site/job tracking, clean exports for payroll/accounting, and simple onboarding — exactly what buyers ask for when they ditch spreadsheets.

Competitors vs Planyard

Capability / Outcome Excel & generic time apps Heavy ERPs / Procore Planyard
Purpose-built workflow out of the box (fast rollout) ✖ DIY setup; templates break and ownership drifts. ✔ Feature-rich, but long implementations and heavy change management. ✔ Ready on day 1; no consultants; minimal training.
Email-based job sheets (no apps or logins) ✖ Files/spreadsheets passed around; versions get lost. ✖ App/logins required; site adoption often low. ✔ Job sheets arrive by email; crews reply in seconds.
Task-level job costing (hours to budget lines) ✖ Easy to misallocate; formulas fragile. ✔ Available, but complex to configure per project. ✔ Hours post directly to the right budget items.
Approvals & audit trail ✖ No true approvals; comment history is scattered. ✔ Robust but heavy, with multi-step workflows. ✔ Simple approvals with full timestamped history.
Real-time cost-to-complete forecasting ✖ Manual updates; forecasts lag by weeks. ✔ Possible via modules, but slow and specialist-dependent. ✔ Updates automatically as job sheets are approved.
Evidence on every job sheet (photos, notes) ✖ Attachments live in inboxes/folders; hard to find later. ✔ Supported in mobile apps; adoption varies on site. ✔ Photos/notes captured in-flow and stored with the record.
Accounting sync (Xero/QuickBooks) — no double entry ✖ CSV exports and retyping introduce errors. ✔ Integrations exist; require admin upkeep. ✔ Native sync; data flows one-time from field → budget → accounts.
Payroll & supplier reconciliation ✖ Manual collation; mismatches discovered late. ✔ Available, but requires custom setups. ✔ Payroll summaries and supplier hours validation out of the box.
Crew adoption & on-time submissions ✖ Inconsistent; reminders are manual. ✖ App fatigue; low compliance in the field. ✔ Email reminders; no logins; high on-time submission rate.
Month-end speed & accuracy ✖ Slow close; back-and-forth to fix errors. ✔ Accurate but time-consuming; depends on specialists. ✔ Pre-validated data shortens close and reduces rework.
