Built and proven inside a working subcontractor

Every department, one set of records, as it happens.

Coupling brings everything a subcontractor does into one place, live: the field, the office, the warehouse, the shop and the books. It is set up around your company, and it posts to the systems you already own.

What it runs

The whole company, from the first contact to the final pay app.

Twelve modules reading and writing the same records. Switch on the ones you need; each one started as a request from someone doing the work.

Tailored to your organization

One platform, shaped to the way your operation runs.

No two contractors run the same way. Coupling is set up around your operation during onboarding, not handed over as a template, and it keeps changing as your people ask. This is what gets shaped to you.

Your roles and permissions

You define the roles, by whatever titles you use, and what each person can see and do, down to the job.

Your approvals

Who signs off on an order, a change order, a contract or a timecard, and at what amount, is your chain, not a default.

Your cost code chart

Your phases and codes, locked or opened per job by the people you say can.

Your crews and classifications

Your shifts, your trade classifications, your apprentice ratios and prevailing-wage rules where they apply to you.

Your jobs, vendors and customers

Loaded from your systems at setup, with your job numbering, your shifts, your divisions.

Your notifications

Every event can reach each person by email, text or in the app, on their schedule, with quiet hours and digests.

Your dashboards

The numbers your owner and managers watch, defined by you, refreshed on their own.

Your systems

Accounting, payroll, time clock, estimating and the rest, connected for your company rather than a generic export.

Your requests

Every screen started as a request from someone doing the work. Yours go on the same list, and you see them first.

What it connects to

Live from the platforms you already own. No more waiting.

  • No more waiting for payroll to post to catch a clock-in error.
  • No more tracking a budget against last month's report.
  • No more finding out at the invoice what was committed weeks ago.
  • No more keying the same line into a second system.

Coupling pulls from your accounting, payroll, time and estimating systems as they change, and posts back to them. We don't change your workflows. We streamline them and tailor the app to them, so new people onboard with less friction, the habits that form are the good ones, and your team's output goes up instead of its data entry.

Your systems stay the system of record. Each connection is built for your company during onboarding, and once built it is a switch any customer can turn on. Scope is confirmed for your systems during discovery.

Where it came from

Built on live jobs, next to the people who do the work.

Coupling did not start in a software office. Every screen was built sitting beside the person who uses it, on a real job, and changed until it fit the way they already work.

It replaced the four products one company was paying for, one at a time, as it covered each job end to end. Now it runs that company every day. Yours runs differently, so the same process happens for you: set up around your people and your rules, then shaped on your jobs.

Built for the trades. Open to every one of them.

100+people sign in every day, office, warehouse and field
12modules, each one started as a request from someone doing the work
$100Ka year in software subscriptions switched off
2,200hours a year nobody types or sends anymore

Bring a job. We'll run it live.

A working session on the screen and on a mobile device, following your own work through the system, then a look at the systems you'd connect.
