Integrates with

Subcontractor submits a payment application by link and the main contractor approves it

Who this is for

The monthly chase

Every month means chasing a dozen subcontractors for progress claims - some by email, some as PDFs, none in the same format.

Overbilling caught too late

A subcontractor has invoiced more than what's actually left on their contract, and it was only caught after the fact.

Manual retention maths

Retention and prepayment deductions get calculated by hand, and it's easy to get one wrong.

Double data entry

Approved valuations still have to be manually re-keyed into the accounting system before anyone gets paid.

Get subcontractors submitting valuations without a single phone call

Trusted by UK QSs and commercial managers processing hundreds of subcontractor valuations a month

"What I really like about Planyard is that you can take that zip file, unzip it, and essentially just dump all the invoices in at once. The system goes through and automatically picks out invoice numbers, dates, and other key details. Then, just assigning the cost codes is so much faster. The amount of stress that saves me is something I don't think I could even quantify."

"What struck us was how easy it was. If it were hard for me to use, how can I expect my QSs or subbies to use it? With Planyard you just click send valuation, upload invoice, apply percentages to your section - it just works."

How Planyard helps you collect subcontractor payment applications without the chase

One click sends every open subcontract order its payment application template. Subcontractors submit through a link – no login, no spreadsheet, no account needed.

Schedule a demo

Templates send themselves

Payment application templates send automatically from the subcontract order, or subcontractors request their own via a personal link.

Progress against the contract

Subcontractors enter progress by percentage, unit or value against their contracted schedule of values.

Overbilling blocked at submission

The system won't let anyone bill more than what's left on the contract.

Variations included upfront

Agreed variations can be added directly to the valuation by the subcontractor, instead of arguing about them after submission.

"When everything is set up, it’s just a few clicks and the process is complete. It automatically sends the document and tells the subcontractor exactly what amount to invoice for, making the entire valuation process incredibly easy."

Review and approve without re-typing a single number

Every submission lands in one review queue, with retention and prepayment already calculated against what you agreed.

Try it free

One review queue

Approve, reject, or route to a site engineer or finance for internal sign-off before it's confirmed.

Automatic deductions

Retention and prepayment settlement calculate automatically on every valuation - no manual maths.

A PDF for both sides

Approved valuations generate a payment application PDF showing value, retention and variations in one document.

Full history on the order

Every submission and approval stays logged against the subcontract order.

"We had to get our accountant on board and interface it with Xero, so invoices hit the right job number. Now an invoice gets uploaded in Planyard, I sign it off, and it drops into my Xero payment schedule in three or four weeks - it’s perfect."

Get from approved valuation to paid invoice without double data entry

Once you approve, the subcontractor uploads their sales invoice against the same link – and it’s ready for accounting the moment it matches.

Schedule a demo

The invoice has to match

Subcontractors upload their sales invoice directly against the approved valuation, so totals match before it goes further.

Straight into accounting

Approved invoices push into Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or MYOB - no manual re-entry.

The order updates automatically

Real-time retention booked, prepayment settled, and remaining contract value.

No spreadsheet middleman

From approval to payment without a single number re-typed.

Works with the accounting tools you already use

Approved invoices flow straight into Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or MYOB – no re-keying, no duplicate data entry.

"Timewise, on a single project, I'd probably save 6 to 8 hours—essentially a full day every month. When it comes to processing monthly payments, it saves me a solid day, perhaps even a day and a half, just in sorting through the invoices. Saving a day and a half of my time means the system pays for itself time and time again."

DPTQS cut a full day of monthly invoice allocation down to minutes.

Paul Treweek used to spend a full day each month manually allocating around 150 invoices to the right cost codes. With Planyard, that's down to minutes - 'the amount of stress that saves me is something I don't think I could even quantify.'
