One Platform from Bid to Closeout
Stop juggling spreadsheets, scheduling tools, PO systems, and field apps that don't talk to each other. WorkSkedge gives general contractors one connected platform for multi-trade scheduling, subcontractor coordination, purchase orders, field documentation, and job costing.
Built for GCs with 20-150 employees running commercial, institutional, and multi-family projects.
The GC's Tool Sprawl Problem
Most general contractors cobble together separate tools for scheduling, POs, field reports, and invoicing. Data lives in silos. Nobody has the full picture.
The Disconnected Way
✗ Schedule changes don't update field crews
✗ POs disconnected from job costing
✗ No real-time project profitability visibility
The WorkSkedge Way
✓ Schedule updates flow to field crews instantly
✓ POs tie directly to job costs and budgets
✓ Real-time profitability on every project
Connected Modules for General Contractors
Every module shares the same data. Create a project, schedule crews, track costs, and invoice the client without entering the same information twice.

Vendor-Awarded Subcontracts
Award entire scopes to subcontractors with fixed contract amounts, NTE caps, and signed contract uploads. Vendor activation guard requires a vendor and contract amount before work can begin.

- Not-to-exceed (NTE) caps with billed-vs-contracted tracking
- Signed contract upload and cross-hatch visual on Gantt
Interactive Gantt Chart for Multi-Trade Projects
Plan your entire project on one interactive timeline. Every change you make on the Gantt automatically syncs to the scheduler, field worker apps, and project dashboards in real-time.
Drag-and-Drop Timeline Planning
Draggable work order bars on a day/week/month grid. Drag the body to move dates, drag edges to extend duration. Solid bars for scheduled work, hatched bars for expected-only dates.
- Day, Week, and Month zoom levels
- Weekend shading and today line for orientation
- Print/PDF export for owner meetings (landscape A3)
Milestones with Linked Tasks
Pin diamond milestone markers above work order rows for inspections, permit gates, substantial completion, and owner walkthroughs. Each milestone auto-creates a Task assigned to the PM.
- Drag milestones to reschedule, linked Task due date updates
- Tasks appear in PM notification bell and task inbox
- Due-date bucketing: Overdue, Today, This Week, Later
Trade Groups for Organization
Organize work orders into collapsible trade sections (Sitework, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Finishes). Drag groups to reorder. Add new work orders directly from group headers.
- Collapsible headers with count badges
- Vendor-performed WOs display with cross-hatch pattern
- Status filter: All, Active, On Hold, Complete, etc.
Changes Sync Everywhere Instantly
Drag a bar on the Gantt and the schedule board updates, field workers see new dates in "My Schedule", and calendar invites regenerate automatically. Click any bar to open the full work order detail drawer with scope, assignments, and financials.
How Data Flows Across Your Projects
See how one project automatically connects scheduling, field reports, timesheets, and invoicing with zero duplicate entry.
Schedule to Field
Publish a schedule and crews see their assignments instantly on mobile. Calendar invites sent automatically with job details and directions.
Reports to Invoices
Completion reports trigger invoicing. Labor hours from timesheets and material costs from POs flow directly into invoice line items.
Time to Job Cost
Timesheet hours multiply by burdened labor rates automatically. See real-time labor cost per work order and project-wide profitability.
Skills to Scheduling
Work order requires certified electricians? System only shows qualified, available crews when scheduling. No mistakes, no compliance gaps.
Gantt to Scheduler to Field
Drag a bar on the Gantt and the schedule board updates, field workers see new dates in "My Schedule", and calendar invites regenerate. Zero re-entry.
Milestones to Tasks
Add a milestone on the Gantt (e.g., "Final Inspection") and a Task is auto-created, assigned to the PM, due at 9:00 AM on the milestone date. Visible in the notification bell.

Multi-Phase Commercial Build
Create project with phased work orders
Set up the project with work orders for each phase: demolition, framing, mechanical rough-in, electrical rough-in, drywall, finishes. Each work order has its own scope checklist and skill requirements.
Schedule crews across trades
Use drag-drop scheduling to assign crews to each phase. System detects conflicts when electricians are double-booked. Save as draft, review, then publish to field.
Track progress from the field
Site leads submit daily progress reports with photos. Scope checklists track completion percentage. Work orders auto-transition to Active when reports come in.
Manage materials and subcontractors
Create POs for materials tied to specific work orders. Assign subcontract work orders to vendors with contract amounts and NTE caps. Track bills against each PO.
Invoice with full cost visibility
Generate progress invoices with labor, materials, and subcontractor costs already calculated. See budget vs. actual in real-time. Know your margin before you bill.
Subcontractor Coordination
Create subcontract work order
Mark work order as "Subcontract" type. Assign vendor, set contract amount and not-to-exceed cap. Upload signed contract document.
Issue purchase orders
Create POs linked to the subcontract work order. Track approvals and submissions through the workflow. PO costs automatically feed into project financials.
Process bills against POs
Record vendor invoices against POs with multi-bill support. System detects backorders and partial deliveries. Tracks billed vs. contracted amounts.
See full project cost picture
Project financials show labor costs (internal crews), material costs (POs), and subcontractor costs (bills) all in one view. Budget vs. actual across every work order.
Gantt-Driven Project Planning
Open the project Gantt chart
From the project detail, click "Gantt chart" to see all work orders on an interactive timeline. Each work order appears as a draggable bar positioned by its schedule dates.
Organize into trade groups
Create groups like Sitework, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Finishes. Drag work orders into their group. Collapse sections to focus on one trade at a time.
Drag bars to sequence phases visually
Drag bar edges to set duration, drag the body to move start and end dates together. Changes write directly to the work order and sync to the scheduler and field apps.
Set milestones for inspections and owner walkthroughs
Add diamond milestone markers for rough-in inspection, drywall inspection, substantial completion. Each milestone auto-creates a Task assigned to the PM with a due date.
Award subcontract WOs to vendors on the Gantt
Vendor-performed work orders display with a cross-hatch bar pattern. Set contract amounts and NTE caps directly. The Gantt shows your full project scope -- internal crews and subs together.
Print PDF for weekly owner meetings
Use the Print/PDF button to generate a landscape A3 report showing the full project timeline. Status badges update live as field reports come in. Filter by status to show only active work.
