For specialty trades, where the margin is in the hours.

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, concrete, painting, flooring: the work is labor, the crews move between jobs every day, and many of them work in Spanish or Portuguese. Groundflag is built around that.

What matters most to a trade contractor

• Hours on the right job.

  Crews clock in from the phone; standing on the job, it is picked for them. The GPS point and an optional photo are kept, and the office approves the card.

• Labor cost you can see.

  Approved hours count as actual cost on the job's cost codes, next to the budget.

• Each crew in its language.

  Every screen in English, Spanish and Portuguese, chosen by each person.

• Estimate, invoice, paid.

  Estimates accepted online with a deposit, invoices paid by card in the client portal.

• No seat fee.

  One price per company: every crew member logs in.

Not yet for specialty trades

The phone apps that keep working with no signal, for basements and roofs, are the February 2027 target; today the Android app (Google Play) and the web app on iPhone need a signal.
