The paperwork gets done without you sitting at a desk to do it. Donna drafts the bids, invoices, and receipts; you approve and get back to the job.
The Bedrock Toolbox.
Your whole office for $100 a month.
We're trained to make businesses and the trades more efficient. We take modern solutions and apply them to your business.
Modern software, engineered for contractors.
The Bedrock Toolbox is the office side of your business, handled. We take the software big companies pay serious money for, operations, your crew's hours, marketing, and your numbers, and build it for the way contractors actually work. It's one system, not six subscriptions that don't talk to each other, so the hours you'd burn on paperwork go back into the work that pays. Your time and your money come first; everything in here exists to save you both.
Your crew clocks in and out from their own phone. No paper, no “I think I worked eight,” no crews clocking each other in. Hours add up by day and by job, ready for payroll.
Looking established wins jobs before you ever pick up the phone. One Brand Kit, and every flyer, post, and sign comes out matching.
You can't fix what you can't see. Know your margins, what you're owed, and which jobs actually made money, before any of it bites.
The big outfits already run on tools like these. The Toolbox is how the small business keeps up, no big-company budget required.
One Toolbox. Four jobs it does for you.
Not four apps, one connected system. Click into each tool to see exactly what it does, what it doesn't, and what it looks like inside. Every one is free to try.

Example workflowClick to learn more
- Mike finishes a paver patio and tells Donna: "Invoice Joe Smith for the patio job."
- Donna pulls the approved estimate and drafts the invoice, Net 30, line items already filled in.
- Mike reads it over and taps Approve.
- Donna emails it to Joe from Mike's address and logs it in QuickBooks. Start to finish: about 30 seconds.
You approve everything. Donna drafts, she never sends an estimate, invoice, email, or calendar invite on her own. Every action waits for your review. Donna can make mistakes, so the final check is always yours.
Will Donna send something to a customer without asking?
No. Every estimate, invoice, email, or calendar event waits for your approval. Donna drafts; you decide what goes out. That's non-negotiable.
Does Donna work without QuickBooks connected?
Yes. Donna saves everything in your Bedrock workspace whether or not you connect QuickBooks. Connecting QBO just keeps the two in sync automatically.
What if Donna gets a number or a line item wrong?
You catch it in the approval panel and tweak it before approving. Donna learns your typical rate, markup, and standard fees over time, so wrong guesses get rarer.
Can I use Donna without an accounting background?
That's the whole point. No journal entries, no debits and credits, Donna handles estimates, invoices, receipts, and job tracking in plain language.
Team Hours
Your crew clocks in and out from their own free app. Lunch and breaks, hours by job, labor cost, it all adds up on its own and lands in your dashboard, ready for payroll. No more hours scribbled on a napkin.
What it doesClick to learn more
- Your crew clocks in and out from their own free app, no extra app to buy
- Tracks lunch and breaks
- Sorts hours by job, so you see labor cost per job
- Adds up the hours automatically, ready for payroll
- Fix a missed punch in a tap; every edit is logged
- Works on any phone, installs like an app
What it does not doClick to learn more
- Run payroll or cut checks, it hands clean hours to whoever does
- Track your crew's GPS or location
- Cost extra, it's part of the Toolbox
Example workflowClick to learn more
- You send each crew member a join link; they add the clock to their phone in a tap.
- On site, they pick the job and hit Clock In, lunch and breaks included.
- Hours roll up by job in your dashboard, with the labor cost already figured.
- Come payday, you hand off clean hours, no spreadsheet, no guessing.
It's a time record, not a payroll service. Team Hours tracks the hours and the labor cost; you (or your payroll provider) cut the checks. Clean hours, handed off ready.
Does my crew have to pay for an app?
No. Each crew member gets a free clock-in app on their own phone, nothing to buy. Team Hours is part of the Toolbox.
Does Bedrock run payroll?
No. Bedrock keeps the time record and figures the labor cost. It hands you clean hours, ready for you or your payroll provider to run.
What if someone forgets to clock out?
You can fix a missed or wrong punch in a tap from your dashboard. Every edit is logged so the record stays honest.
Finance · Analytics
Plain-English numbers: margins, cash flow, what each job earned, and the money you're still owed.
What it doesClick to learn more

- Tracks every invoice, paid, outstanding, and overdue
- Lists the estimates you've sent and where each stands

- Pulls straight from QuickBooks, no manual entry
What it does not doClick to learn more
- Replace QuickBooks or your accountant
- Do bookkeeping, reconciliation, or tax filing
- Send invoices or estimates, that's Donna's job
- Give financial or tax advice
- Handle payroll or connect to your bank
- Let you edit numbers, it's read-only by design
Example workflowClick to learn more
- End of the month, Sarah opens Finance. Graphs page: revenue's up, margin holding at 47%.
- Statements page: two invoices are overdue, she sees exactly who owes her and how much.
- Projects page: the retaining-wall job ran a thin 26% margin while patios cleared 54%.
- Next time she bids a wall, she prices it right. No spreadsheets, no guessing.
Estimates, not official books. Finance is read-only and built for a quick gut check. Margins are estimates based on available data, this is not official financial reporting. For taxes and statements, that's still your accountant.
Do I need QuickBooks to use Finance?
QuickBooks gives you the richest picture, but Finance also works on Donna data alone, every estimate, invoice, and receipt you approve in Donna feeds the dashboard.
Will Finance replace my accountant?
No. Finance is a visibility layer, read-only dashboards in plain English. It never touches your tax filing, payroll, or official statements. Keep your accountant.
How accurate are the margins?
They're labeled estimates. Job costs come from your QuickBooks expenses and Donna's line items; both are as accurate as what you put in. Finance is honest about what it doesn't know.
Can I export the reports?
Print and PDF export are on the roadmap. For now, the dashboard is live in your browser and refreshes from QuickBooks on a 15-minute cache.

Example workflowClick to learn more
- Maria sets up her Brand Kit once, colors, logo, the voice her business speaks in.
- She picks "door hanger," drops in two job photos, and taps generate.
- Marketing writes the headline in her voice and lays it out on-brand.
- She downloads a print-ready PDF and takes it to the print shop. About 5 minutes.
You're the final eye. Marketing writes a starting headline and lays it out on-brand, but the copy and the details are yours to check. Review every piece before you print it or post it.
Do I need design skills?
No. Pick a format, drop in a photo, the layout and typography are already brand-correct. Our software writes the headline and CTA so the copy doesn't sit empty.
Can I use my own logo and brand colors?
Yes, that's what the Brand Kit step is for. Upload your logo, set your colors and tone once, and every material you build uses them.
What if I don't have customer photos yet?
Use stock-ish backgrounds from the built-in palette or your existing job photos. The asset library saves every piece you generate so you can come back to it.
Can I edit the generated copy?
Always. Our software writes a starting headline and CTA in your tone, you edit them right in the preview and the design updates live.
