Construction technology company CrewCost has released AI-powered accounts payable automation as the newest capability within its construction accounting platform. The new workflows capture bills, route approvals and flag compliance issues, helping general contractors cut days from their month-end close and gain real-time visibility into project costs.
CrewCost centralizes bills, contracts and compliance documentation into one platform. This enables contractors to approve with context, track lien waivers and keep everything organized for payments, billing, and audits.
“Month-end has always been one of the most painful parts of running a construction business,” said Chris Lee, founder of CrewCost. “With CrewCost, contractors no longer need to chase emails or dig through folders to see what’s approved or missing. Our software makes bill entry faster, approvals more transparent, and compliance easier to track, saving back-office teams days while giving leadership confidence in their numbers.”
CrewCost’s construction accounts payable software brings together several key features including automated bill intake; contract and cost controls that tie every bill to a subcontract, purchase order or cost code with a schedule of values tracking; approval routing that provides a full audit trail; automatic collection of lien waivers and insurance documents and highlighting of missing items at point of approval and display of real-time budget impact while approving bills.
The new accounts payable capability powers CrewCost’s existing job costing features, providing contractors with unified, real-time visibility into financial performance across all projects. This eliminates data silos and ensures that AP workflows automatically update project costs and billing cycles.
