Why SyteNav
You already have a system. It's just five systems.
A spreadsheet for the money. A group text for the field. A PM tool the crew won't open. An invoicing app that can't see the job. And a filing cabinet, digital or otherwise, for everything that falls between them. Each one works. Together, they leak time, money, and facts.
The honest comparison
What each tool costs you, and what changes
No competitor bashing, no fine print. Just the four tools most crews run on today, next to what happens when the job lives in one place.
The spreadsheet stack
How it goes today
- One master file only you understand
- Budget, schedule, and progress in separate tabs that disagree
- Every quote retyped by hand, every formula one keystroke from wrong
- Version seventeen, final, FINAL2, actually-final
With SyteNav
- One live system the whole company reads
- Budget, schedule, and progress fed by the same line items
- Quotes scanned in by AI, numbers born correct
- One current truth, with history kept for you
The group text
How it goes today
- Decisions buried between memes and thumbs-ups
- Photos that die in someone’s camera roll
- The new guy can’t scroll back three months
- No record when a dispute lands
With SyteNav
- Daily logs, tasks, and RFIs on the job they belong to
- Photos filed to the project, findable in seconds
- The whole history onboard for every new hire
- A time-stamped trail when it matters
The generic PM tool
How it goes today
- Cards and boards that don’t know what a draw is
- No line items, no escrow, no payment stages
- The field never opens it, so it’s always stale
- Money still lives somewhere else
With SyteNav
- Built around quotes, budgets, and payment schedules
- Escrow, draws, and retainage are first-class
- Field tools the crew actually uses from a phone
- The work and the money in the same system
The standalone invoicing app
How it goes today
- Invoices disconnected from the work performed
- Progress retyped into line items every month
- No idea what’s in escrow versus earned
- Another subscription, another login, another export
With SyteNav
- Invoices generated from line-item progress
- Stage payments that follow the extracted schedule
- Escrow, fee, and vendor balances always current
- One system, one login, no exports
The switch, in plain terms
Three lists worth reading twice
What you stop paying for
- A PM tool the field ignores
- An invoicing app that can’t see the job
- A storage plan for lost photos
- The Sunday-night hours that never hit an invoice
What you stop retyping
- Quote line items into the budget
- Progress into the invoice
- Invoices into the money sheet
- Permit numbers into the calendar
What you stop losing
- The photo that proves the wall was right
- The bid that quietly excluded permit fees
- The COI that expired mid-job
- The Thursday two GCs both booked
Switching
You don't migrate. You upload.
Switching software usually means a lost weekend and a consultant. SyteNav's setup is the AI doing what it always does: reading your existing paperwork. Start with one job, upload its quote, and you're running by the second coffee. Bring the rest when you're convinced.
- Day one
Create your company, upload the current job’s quote. AI builds the budget and schedule.
- Week one
The crew files daily logs from their phones. The office stops asking “where are we on” questions.
- Month one
Every active job is in. The master views replace the Sunday spreadsheet ritual.
One job. One upload. See for yourself.
The comparison above is easy to write. The product is easier to try.
Free to start. No credit card. Bring one job or bring them all.
