DAYWORKBOOK & AROFLO

AroFlo for Job Management. Dayworkbook for Daywork.

Different tools. Different jobs. Both essential.

The One Critical Difference

Automatic Billing Reports

It's month-end. Time to invoice your client.

You open the job. Filter to see completed daywork sheets for the billing period. Tick the sheets you want to include. Click "Bill."

Dayworkbook does the rest.

Every quantity from every sheet—automatically summed. Every rate—automatically applied. Every cost—automatically calculated. The whole lot compiled into a complete billing report, ready to send.

30 seconds. What used to take 8-12 hours.

This is the feature no other platform has. Not AroFlo. Not anyone. This is why trade contractors who use comprehensive job management platforms still add Dayworkbook for their daywork billing.

Why Use Both?

What AroFlo Does Well

AroFlo is an enterprise-grade job management platform designed for complex operations. It excels at resource scheduling and workforce management, equipment tracking and allocation, compliance management for civil and heavy equipment operations, job costing and financial tracking, timesheet and attendance management, and project coordination across multiple sites. When you need to manage large crews, track heavy equipment, coordinate complex civil projects, or maintain strict compliance records, AroFlo provides the enterprise infrastructure to handle it all. For trade contractors, crane companies, and rigging operations requiring sophisticated resource management, AroFlo delivers powerful capabilities.

Where AroFlo's Daywork Falls Short

AroFlo includes forms functionality, but these are general-purpose forms that require extensive configuration for daywork use. The platform wasn't designed specifically for the nuanced requirements of daywork documentation and billing workflows. You can build forms to capture information, but you'll need significant time and money to set them up properly, manually configure calculations, and still export data to manually compile billing reports at month-end. The enterprise setup process is lengthy and expensive—great for comprehensive job management, but not optimized for the specific daywork-to-billing workflow that subcontractors need daily.

What Dayworkbook Was Built For

Dayworkbook isn't enterprise job management—it's a platform designed exclusively for best-in-class daywork documentation and billing. Every feature is purpose-built for the daywork workflow—from the specialized daywork sheets (labour, plant, materials, rates with built-in structure and intelligence) to the automatic billing compilation. It works for any trade (civil, cranes & rigging, electrical, plumbing, scaffolding—any discipline), any company size (2-person teams to 200-person operations), and any location globally. The platform focuses entirely on making daywork fast to capture, easy to approve, and simple to bill—solving the specific admin burden that enterprise platforms don't address. Setup takes 5 minutes, not weeks.

The Complementary Approach

You invested significant time and money implementing AroFlo for job management, resource scheduling, and compliance. Keep using AroFlo for what it's designed for—managing jobs, crews, equipment, and project financials. Add Dayworkbook for your daywork documentation and billing. Use AroFlo for job coordination and resource management. Use Dayworkbook for capturing variations, getting approvals, and generating billing reports. Each platform excels at what it was designed to do. This isn't either/or—it's both/and.

Why AroFlo Users Add Dayworkbook

AroFlo handles job management. Dayworkbook handles daywork. Here's what Dayworkbook gives you that AroFlo doesn't:

Best-in-class daywork sheets: Purpose-built sheets with proper structure for labour, plant & equipment, materials, and rate items—not generic forms you spend weeks configuring

Automatic billing reports: Select your sheets, click "Bill," and get a complete billing report with all quantities summed, rates applied, and costs calculated in 30 seconds

Free client portal: Clients see daywork in real-time, approve on their schedule, no additional portal licensing or setup costs

Rate card management: Configure rates once in your Directory, automatically apply to all sheets—no complex form builder setup

5-minute setup: Start documenting daywork immediately, not weeks of enterprise implementation and configuration

Designed for subcontractors: Built specifically for how subcontractors document and bill variations, not adapted from enterprise job management workflows

The reality: Even when using enterprise job management platforms, trade contractors still spend hours at month-end compiling daywork for billing. Dayworkbook eliminates that burden entirely.
