The platform

Every surface your business runs on. One system.

Groundwork is organized around how service businesses actually operate — Sales, Financial, Operations, Admin, and Field. Each surface is deep enough to stand alone. Together, they eliminate the seams.

Financial

See the money — and what it costs — without opening the books.

Invoices, deposits, payments, and statements — all tied to the client, property, and job that generated them. Money Loop turns overhead recovery into one plain-language number; Budget & Rates runs the burdened-cost math underneath every price you charge.

  • →
    Money LoopOverhead-coverage percentage — how much of this year's cost of doing business is covered so far.
  • →
    Budget & RatesBurdened labor, equipment, and overhead-pool costing, with immutable rate history.

Admin & Roles

Configure once. Run everywhere.

The most under-rated feature in Groundwork is its permission model. Every screen in the platform is individually assignable to roles. Start from a sensible company default, then customize per person.

  • →
    Six default rolesOwner, Management, Sales, Estimator, Field, View-only — configurable.
  • →
    Screen-level access matrixGrant Pipeline but not Financial. Grant Reports but not Payments.
  • →
    Client PortalInvite clients to a scoped, read-only portal. Staff manage access and can preview a client's exact view.
  • →
    AAR Template builderConfigure the end-of-day field report question set — Yes/No, text, rating, checklist, dropdown.
  • →
    Approval queue & audit logApprove estimates, flag anomalies, see who changed what.
Field & Daily Dashboards

The bridge between the office and the truck.

The office runs on desktops. The field runs on phones. Groundwork's My Day, Team View, and Field Mode connect the two without asking either side to change how they work — and Groundwork AI sits on top of all three, on every screen.

M

My Day

Personal daily view — open, overdue, upcoming, and a daily start-up checklist. Every role gets one, tuned to their work.

T

Team View

Managers see every rep's day, every crew's status, every follow-up state — one screen, no reports.

F

Field Mode

Rugged mobile-first view for foremen and crews. Route, scope, clock, photos, After Action Report. Nothing else.

AI

Groundwork AI

A slide-over assistant on every screen — Home, Suggestions, an owner-level Coach that flags at-risk deals, Setup, and free-text Chat that already knows the page you're on.
