Problem
Construction companies, remodelers, and installers often rely on disconnected spreadsheets and manual processes to prepare bids, track project costs, and manage certifications. This fragmented approach leads to errors, margin erosion, and a lack of real-time visibility into project performance, making it difficult to control profitability and comply with evolving electronic invoicing regulations.
Solution
Planhopper provides a cloud-based platform that unifies the entire construction project lifecycle, from initial budgeting to final invoicing. Users can import measurements from Excel or BC3 files, build professional bids with controlled margins, and reuse previous work through templates. The platform then supports project execution with real-time cost tracking, progress certifications, and change order management, all synchronized with a visual Gantt chart. It also centralizes invoicing, enabling users to generate invoices directly from budgets or certifications while maintaining full traceability and compliance with Spain's Verifactu electronic invoicing regulations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are construction companies, remodelers, installers, and subcontractors in Spain who need to streamline budgeting, control project costs, and ensure regulatory compliance in their invoicing processes.
