Field ops & live T&M billing for commercial restoration
✓ Works with QuickBooks Online · Works with Encircle → Join the pilot →$150/mo or $200 through Jan 1, 2027 · about 2 minutes to sign up

Run restoration field ops and T&M billing in one system: price the loss, capture the field, keep the safety records, and bill clean.

One tap opens that screen in the demo · representative data, a sample of what to expect · no signup to explore

Runs your field and your billing in one system. Crews file signed daily sheets — with photos, even offline — from the truck, PMs approve them, and the T&M invoice builds itself from those sheets — with each job’s burn against contract visible while the crew is still on site. A ROM estimator prices the loss up front.

A ROM that misses badly loses you the job on price or the margin on the work. (We don’t publish an accuracy figure for the ROM yet — bring two or three of your closed jobs to a walkthrough and we’ll run the ROM against what they actually billed.) Getting inside that window takes 30+ years of judgment — so one or two people in your company can do it, and every large loss waits on them. Ask how it’s done and the answer is always the same —

that’s just experienceNow it’s the tool.

TruNorth builds the ROM from the loss itself — category, class, affected area, hazards — against your own T&M rate sheet, and prints the standard behind every line. Air movers at a stated starting density you can change (1 per 150 / 100 / 70 / 50 sq ft of wet floor by class). These are TruNorth’s starting densities, not figures quoted from a standard — set your own. Dehus by the volume formula. Demo at documented production rates. A PM in their first week produces a ROM your senior people can review in ten minutes instead of build in three hours.

Because expertise stops being the constraint

Capacity changes what you can take on

When any PM can price a large loss and any job’s margin is visible while the crew is still on site, the ceiling moves. These are the three that make owners switch.

01 — LIVE

Watch the money while it's moving

Every line is costed the instant it's entered. Day nine of fourteen and you already know whether this job makes money — while the crew is still on site.

02 — SCOPE

Anyone can size a total loss

Crew, equipment and duration come out of TruNorth’s starting production rates against your rate sheet — not out of someone’s memory. Every line shows the rule and math it came from, so a reviewer checks the inputs instead of rebuilding the estimate. High-risk scopes are flagged for senior sign-off automatically.

04 — MANAGED

Grade the manager, not just the job

Approval accuracy, safety paperwork and his own sheets — scored per PM from records the work already produced. Everyone starts at 100; real problems cost points. Your best manager stops being an opinion.

Rows as they appear in the demo’s PM Scorecard (Reports → Scorecard). Sample data is regenerated by date, so your scores may differ.

Also in the box: billing pre-audit, offline capture that keeps working through a CAT deployment, job photos on daily sheets and incidents, job management, safety, fleet and equipment. One record, from the truck to the invoice, with nothing retyped in between.

Built into the record

Every edit has a name on it. Every sheet gets a second look.

Two things that only work once billing and field docs live in the same record.

ACCOUNTABILITY

A paper trail on the paper trail

Every rejection, every resubmit, every after-the-fact edit is logged with who made it and how long it took to fix — per technician, per PM, per job. When margin looks off, you're not guessing whose sheet it was or why it changed.

AI REVIEW

A reviewer that never skips a sheet

Every daily sheet gets checked before it's approved, and every job gets checked again before it bills — equipment gaps, documentation that won't survive an adjuster's second read, numbers that don't add up. Your reviewers mark each finding real or noise, and that judgment feeds the next review.

In the demo: open The Rowan Apartments job and see the sample AI review card, or Billing Audit → Review before billing. The rule checks are real; the AI findings are labeled SAMPLE because live AI turns on when your workspace is connected.

Safety, asset & fleet

The safety records live next to the work

Toolbox talks, JHAs, incidents, training, fleet inspections and equipment counts sit in the same system as the daily sheets, so nothing has to be rebuilt from binders when a client asks.

SafetySafety manual, training records, toolbox talks with crew sign-in, job hazard analyses and incident reports.
FleetVehicles, weekly inspections, oil service and registration dates.
AssetsEquipment counts by branch: available, in service and out of service.

New · Field photos

Photos from the field, even offline

The photo sits on the same record as the sheet it proves, so nobody has to dig through a phone camera roll when an adjuster asks.

  • Take a photo or pick from the gallery right on the daily sheet or the incident report. Every photo also shows up in one grid on the job.
  • Shrunk on the phone, location data removed before anything is saved, so uploads are quick on a weak signal.
  • No signal? Keep shooting. Photos wait on the phone and upload automatically once it’s back online, retrying until they go through.
  • Kept 3 years by default. Each shop can change how long photos are kept.

Early access · founding customers

TruNorth Ops is in early access, and we are now taking on a small number of founding customers. They get easy setup: we walk them through it, or do it with them on a kickoff call (rate sheets loaded and crews trained) and a direct line to me while the product grows with their feedback.

Who built this

I didn't set out to build software

JG

I’ve spent 30+ years in commercial restoration, and I run field operations for a commercial restoration company. We did what everyone does — paper daily sheets, a spreadsheet to price them, and somebody's week every month reconciling the two. When a carrier asked why four techs were on site on a Tuesday, the honest answer was “let me find out.”

I went looking for something to fix it and found billing software that starts after the job ends. So I built this instead, around the things that go wrong on restoration jobs and keep the bill from matching the work.

Your data stays yours — full export whenever you want it. Rate sheets loaded and crews trained with you, not sent to you. And I'm the one who answers when you call.

Questions? Email me directly: jason@findingtrunorth.com.
