Construction companies transform expense management with Volopay
Real-time expense tracking prevents construction project failures caused by delayed financial visibility. Without immediate insights into equipment rentals, labor expenses, and material costs, your profitability suffers, and project budgets face serious risk each day.
Real estate developers and construction companies achieve complete financial control throughout all project phases with Volopay's construction expense management platform, from final inspections back through initial site preparation. One unified system tracks equipment rentals, subcontractor payments, daily labor wages, and raw material procurement, eliminating payment delays and spreadsheet chaos.
You gain the financial control necessary to improve cash flow across every job site while completing projects on budget and on time, whether overseeing multiple commercial developments or managing a single residential build.
Real time construction project expense tracking
Centralizing all project-related expenses in one dashboard with Volopay provides the benefits of real-time construction expense management software. Understand exactly where money flows by tagging expenses according to development phase, cost center, or project.
Project managers, site supervisors, and finance teams access up-to-the-minute spending data in a live dashboard where Volopay consolidates every construction expense without waiting for month-end reconciliation or weekly reports.
Track expenses as they happen across operational costs, equipment, subcontractors, labor, and raw materials. Project managers identify overspending early with real-time alerts and take corrective action before profitability is impacted.
Manage raw material procurement & payments
Connecting procurement requests, approvals, and vendor payments in one workflow simplifies construction expense management software with the help of Volopay.
Real-time tracking of material costs against project budgets catches cost overruns before they compound, and predefined approval rules can be set based on supplier or value guide material orders.
Automated bank transfers process vendor payments on time once approved. No duplicate data entry occurs with integration to your existing supplier database, while payment errors that damage vendor relationships are eliminated through automated three-way matching between invoices, delivery receipts, and purchase orders.
Control labor costs & daily wage payments
