Materials, fuel, tools and merchant receipts — captured from the cab of the van over WhatsApp, organised before you’re back on site.
Construction work generates paperwork faster than almost any other trade: a receipt at the merchant before eight, fuel mid-morning, a tool replacement at lunch, a deduction statement at the end of the month. SubReady catches all of it through a WhatsApp chat, so your records build themselves while you work.
Snap the receipt at the trade counter — timber, fixings, plasterboard, aggregate — and it’s categorised as materials automatically.
Type “£65 diesel” at the pump and it’s recorded. Van costs, parking and tolls work the same way.
New drill, replacement blades, hire charges — photographed once, filed properly, never lost.
Record payments as they arrive and create invoices from a message when a job wraps up.
Upload your bank statement PDF once a month and SubReady reads the transactions — no bank connection, ever.
Read-only access and a one-click export pack for your accountant, on your say-so.
Not every construction worker is under the Construction Industry Scheme — plenty of self-employed trades invoice homeowners and businesses directly. But if CIS does apply to you, SubReady tracks your deductions at 20%, 30% or gross payment status, reads your deduction statements, and keeps year-end CIS records ready.
