Positioning

Most platforms optimize for one job. We optimize for execution.

Trade contractors don't need another tab on top of QuickBooks. They need one platform that runs the work, from drawing markup to install proof to retainage release.

Buildertrend
organizes builder & client projects.
ServiceTitan
runs service dispatch & FSM for trades.
Procore
governs commercial construction projects.
Acumatica
runs accounting and back-office operations.
Fieldwire
coordinates field markup & sheets.
Scaftra
runs trade execution from design through proof-backed completion.
The unifier

Eight layers other tools split across vendors. One operating spine.

The combination is still uncommon in the market. Trade-first execution requires all eight working off the same room, the same scope, the same chain of evidence.

01

Trade-first execution

Cabinets, tops, trim, paint, flooring, tile, glass. Each trade is a first-class scope, not a checkbox on a task.

02

Room-centric workflows

Kitchen, Bath, Laundry. The work happens in rooms; the system models them and tracks every spec inside them.

03

Install orchestration

Measure, fabricate, deliver, install, punch. One pipeline, not five spreadsheets.

04

Proof / CYA systems

Every step backed by photos, sign-offs, and timestamps. "It was done" is provable, not a story.

05

Field accountability

Structured punch with assignees, due dates, proof requirements. No "I'll get to it."

06

Designer to field continuity

Selections, appliances, spec sheets carry through to the installer's tablet. Nothing is re-typed.

07

Operational enforcement

Workflows that block bad states (missing COI, unsigned waiver, unconfirmed delivery) before they cost you.

08

An actual finance layer, underneath

Not "ERP-grade." The real thing. Budget commitments, billing, retainage, backcharges, lien releases, GL. One click fires the entries your finance team needs.

Capability matrix

Why trade contractors keep stitching three of these together.

Each adjacent category does its job well. None of them was built for the contractor running design, install, proof, and money on the same floor plan.

The unspoken thing

Built with full financial depth, without the pain of managing it.

From the kitchen table to the boardroom, you finally have a platform that doesn't make you feel like you're feeding it. The double-entries, the AP, the retainage, the GL hit: all of it lives underneath. The installer never sees it.

The product

One spine, four surfaces: Design, Field, Install, Money.

The same room, the same scope, the same chain of evidence, visible to designer, installer, project manager, and AR/AP, each in their own lens.

01 · Design

Selections that survive the trip to the jobsite.

Appliances, finishes, spec sheets, PDFs, captured in a versioned Design Workspace and locked to the room. When the installer opens the tablet, the same kitchen they're standing in is on the screen.

  • Versioned design rounds with diff (v5 vs v6 · +1 added, -10 removed)
  • Per-room appliance & finish library with PDF cut sheets
  • Submit-for-review flow with structured client sign-off
Design Workspace · versioned design round with appliances per room
02 · Field

Plans, blocking, and readiness on one floor plan.

Field mode shows the rooms, the revisions, and the open issues, overlaid on the drawing the installer is working from. Block a room and the schedule, billing, and punch surfaces all know about it instantly.

  • Sheet revisions with delta callouts (V2 to V3 · 5 areas changed)
  • Blocking issues pinned to rooms, not lost in a comment thread
  • Field-approve or resolve-with-proof from the same canvas
Field mode · Level 1 floor plan with kitchen blocking issue
03 · Install

Every install carries its own chain of proof.

Measure complete, fabrication ordered, install complete, final clean. Each step is a structured task with required photos and timestamps. Missing proof blocks the next step, and the next billing submission.

  • CYA Proof Meter on every install (33% / 66% / 100%)
  • Task checklist with photo evidence per step
  • Scheduler-owned dates, installer-owned proof. No cross-edit chaos
Install detail · GLM Install with task checklist and CYA proof meter
04 · Operations

Multi-family scale without "click Add Room 700 times."

Describe the project once (buildings, sections, unit templates, common areas) and the Structure setup wizard deploys it. 148 units, 704 rooms, 1,852 work scopes, 94,212 operational records. One run. Idempotent and resumable.

  • Templates × sections × counts × numbering, in a flat global table
  • Live totals, pre-flight dry-run, aggregate-cap enforcement
  • LocalStorage drafts. Pick up where you left off after a network blip

The name, decoded

Scaftra is built for the contractor whose business doesn't fit any of the boxes, but lives or dies by how well the install actually went.
