Plinth

What it does

• Create a job, prepare a quote and record how the client accepted it
• Book trades without double booking, even across jobs
• Publish a daily site diary with photos
• Invite the client to approve each variation at its exact amount and scope
• Prepare and issue supplier purchase orders and record deliveries
• Approve and export a progress claim as CSV and a full reconciliation
• Let an agent prepare drafts while people approve
• Move in accepted jobs from a CSV, and back up, restore or erase a job

What it promises

• Every action checks who is signed in; owners and admins manage jobs, and clients see only their own job.
• A client approves variations themselves; a manager cannot approve on the client's behalf.
• Approvals are tied to the exact terms at the time, and an accepted quote stays fixed.
• Money is kept in whole Australian cents, and progress claims reserve their position so they cannot overlap.
• Agent credentials can prepare drafts only; people make the approvals.
• A trade cannot be booked twice for overlapping times.
• Moving in jobs shows a dry run, keeps a journal and can be undone, while your own edits survive.
• Erasing a job also removes its photos and import records, and a later archive stops older backups bringing it back.
• Plinth does not send orders, pay anyone, calculate tax or prepare statutory payment claims.
