Track your work, bill accurately, and automate your operations

Clad is project management and billing software, purpose-built for utility construction.

We help contractors and asset owners track daily field activity, unlock project and program visibility, and bill accurately.

Clad is purpose-built for telecom and utility construction.

We partner with contractors that do telecom, power, electrical (transmission and distribution), water, oil & gas, and renewable deployment.

We also work with asset owners - ISPs, dark fiber operators, and utilities to help expand their networks, speed up deployment, and manage maintenance.

Using Clad is simple, and we tailor the product to your specific workflows. People generally use Clad in three steps:

1. Field Capture - we help you collect everything you need from the field. This typically spans red-lines (PDF or GIS as-builts), photos, production information, hours worked, equipment used, and other documentation like bore logs. We can also build custom tools to make it as easy as possible to get data into Clad.
2. Automate billing - Clad lets you create invoices and tie vendor bills to approved production. This helps you avoid the risk of over- and under-billing, and also gives your operations and finance teams an easy ability to do full job costing.
3. Reporting - Clad lets you build custom reports and dashboards so you can understand the health of your projects - whether it is just one project or hundreds. We also have an API so you can access any data in Clad. People use our reporting tools to manage project P&L, crew productivity reporting, and WIP tracking.

Clad also has additional tools to support other admin workflows -

1. Clad Locates - Clad Locates is an AI-powered tool to help you submit, track, and manage your 811 tickets.
2. Clad Vendor Management - Clad Vendor Management lets you easily onboard subcontractors or other vendors, collect documents (like MSAs, COIs, etc.), and track their expiration. This also includes Bid Management tools that let you send out RFPs to vendors and compare quotes.

Clad helps you bill both quickly and accurately, all with the goal of helping you get paid faster.

For getting paid (Accounts Receivable) - Clad helps you create invoices tied directly to production. This is specific to each customer and project agreement - handling the correct invoice format, retainage, or discounts. Clad is also integrated with Quickbooks, so invoices created in Clad are automatically synced to Quickbooks.

For paying contractors (Accounts Payable) - Clad lets you receive bills from vendors as a ‘front door’ to handle operations approvals, and to tie production to bills. This unlocks job costing, since the vendor bills are always tied to a specific project.

Clad does not replace your existing accounting or AP systems, we link operations and finance workflows.

No.

We sell Clad in modules, so the product is tailored directly to what you need. The modules are Project Management, Billing, Locates, and Vendor Management.

It can take as little as a day to get your Clad account set up, and many companies start collecting field data in about a week.

As a part of onboarding, we’ll build a custom implementation plan to make sure that we roll out quickly and that everyone on your team is trained.
