The problem

You run a trade, not a filing cabinet. But the paperwork keeps piling up.

01
Invoices sit
7-day clocks run silently. Notice of Non-Payment gets missed. Holdback math goes sideways.
02
RFIs pile up
Questions live in email threads. Change orders hide inside them. Nobody notices until invoicing.
03
Compliance slips
WSIB clearances expire. COIs lapse. Certs run out the day before the inspector shows up.
04
Apprentices drift
309A hour logs live in notebooks. Nobody knows who needs which skill set until topout season.
Modules

Frequently asked

What contractors actually ask.

Does this work on a tablet on-site with spotty service?+
Yes. Topout Crew and Field Flow work offline on iOS and Android. Everything queues locally and syncs the second you get signal back.
Can I export my data if I leave?+
Always. Full export of invoices, RFIs, documents, apprentice hours, and compliance records in standard formats. Your data is yours.
Is it priced per user or flat?+
Flat tier with user caps of 5, 15, or 40. Apprentice accounts are free forever and don't count against your cap.
Is it compliant with the 2026 OCA amendments (Bill 216, Bill 60)?+
Built around them. Proper invoice fields, 7-day auto-acceptance, Notice of Non-Payment, and holdback rules all reflect the 2026 amendments.
Who on my team needs a license?+
Anyone who creates or approves documents (Owner, Admin, PM, Foreman). Read-Only seats are included. Apprentices are always free.
What happens to my RFIs and invoices if I pause billing?+
Your records stay read-only for 12 months. You can resume anytime or export and walk away.
