Accounts Payable Management for Construction

Accounts payable in construction refers to the money a contractor owes to vendors, subcontractors, suppliers, equipment providers, and other project-related parties. Because construction AP is tied to jobs, cost codes, retainage, purchase orders, subcontracts, and payment timing, it directly affects cash flow, project margin, vendor relationships, and the accuracy of financial reporting.

Datateer starts with flat annual pricing from $10,000 per year per data source. The setup fee is paid upfront, and the yearly fee begins only when data is flowing. Unlimited users are included, with no per-seat charges, hidden implementation fees, or separate pricing for the day-one dashboard suite.

Datateer connects directly to 20+ construction ERP and project management systems, including Procore, Sage, Viewpoint Vista, Spectrum, Acumatica, Foundation, CMiC, Jonas, QuickBooks, and NetSuite. Custom integrations are also available for legacy on-premise systems and Excel-based workflows when standard connectors do not fully match your stack.

AP aging dashboards show what is owed, how long invoices have been outstanding, and where payment obligations may affect liquidity. In construction, AP aging is especially valuable when paired with job-level cash flow, retainage schedules, subcontractor commitments, and WIP reporting so finance teams can make payment decisions with current project context.

Yes. Datateer includes retainage analytics for both accounts receivable retainage held by owners and accounts payable retainage held on subcontractors. Dashboards can show retainage percentages, release schedules, overdue releases, and 13-week cash flow impact, helping teams understand how retained amounts affect working capital and project-level liquidity.

Typical setup takes 2-4 weeks. During implementation, Datateer maps your ERP and project management data, builds automated extraction workflows, cleans and standardizes data logic, and prepares the dashboard suite. Data updates occur overnight as standard, with more frequent refresh options available when finance teams need tighter visibility.

Datateer improves data integrity by pulling directly from ERP and project systems instead of relying on manual CSV exports, copied spreadsheets, and fragile formulas. Its data cleaning and standardization process maps cost codes, reconciles entries, and catches malformed data so AP, WIP, and cash reporting reflect the source system accurately.

No. Datateer includes unlimited users under its flat annual pricing model. Finance leaders, controllers, project accountants, executives, and operations teams can access the same dashboards without per-seat licensing. This supports a shared source of truth across office and field teams instead of limiting visibility to a few spreadsheet owners.
