Problem
Construction project managers spend hours chasing status updates across vendors, warehouse staff, AP teams, and field workers, with information scattered across text threads, portals, and inboxes. Materials sit between purchase orders and the jobsite with no single source of truth, while AP teams manually key and match invoices to POs, leading to costly errors and delayed payments.
Solution
Hinges provides a construction operations platform that centralizes the entire PO-to-payment lifecycle for the openings trade. The platform connects project and accounting software once, and POs, deliveries, and invoices automatically land in Hinges, where AI-powered vision models read messy scans, handwritten notes, and complex layouts to match invoices to purchase orders and flag errors before payment. Teams access real-time material ETAs and delays through the portal, Slack, or Microsoft Teams—no one has to switch chat apps. A human still approves everything that posts, ensuring accountability while eliminating manual data entry and follow-up chases. The platform tracks the full PO lifecycle from issued to confirmed to received to paid on one spine, unifying material tracking, AP automation, and workflow orchestration.
Target Audience
Primary customers are construction companies—specifically project managers, AP teams, and operations staff at Division 8 subcontractors handling doors, frames, and hardware—who need to streamline material tracking, purchase order management, and invoice processing across their projects.
