New · Two ways to run Workbench

Lite or Standard.
Same platform.
Sized for your business.

Workbench now comes in two flavours — built on the same core, deployed two different ways. Lite gets growing civil and trade contractors live in days. Standard runs enterprise operations across multiple entities, locations, divisions and thousands of jobs.

Find your fit

Two products. One question: how big is your operation?

Both products share the same Workbench core. The difference is depth, customisation, and how complex the rollout is. Here's where each one belongs.

Lite

CIVIL

$2M - $30M Revenue· Smaller contractors, lump sum and schedule of rates projects, budget tracking and progress claims with retention management.

Jobs: Schedule people and equipment, capture timesheets and equipment usage, report utilisation and integrate with payroll

TRADE

Jobs: move from reactive service to repeatable project delivery, quote and track jobs without spreadsheets, scale without losing control.

Standard

Established operators at scale

$30M–$500M+ revenue · fully customised implementation · tailored rollout

Still deciding?

Three quick checks before you book.

A short gut-check. If you answer "yes" to any one of these, Standard is probably the right fit. Otherwise, Lite gets you live faster — and you can grow into Standard later.

01

Do you run more than 10 licences, or work across multiple entities, regions or currencies?

02

Do your contracts include cost-plus, risk-and-reward, or complex variations that need configurable workflows?

03

Do you need site diaries, a subcontractor portal, or full forecasting on day one?
