Thrive, don't just survive

Our management tools will help your business grow.

Your projects are complex and generally no two projects are executed the same way. You need to be able to report on a jobs progress but your systems are not flexible enough to accommodate this so you are stuck in a world of spreadsheets. You have a large number of employees to manage and you are encumbered with an EBA which makes your Payroll process tedious and time consuming. You have a significant investment in plant and equipment and you're not sure if it is making you money or eating into your profits.

We have spent many years listening to and working with Civil Contractors so we understand your issues. Workbench has been designed to provide a comprehensive and cost effective management solution for businesses like yours.
