If you run a landscape or construction company of any size, scheduling and paying labor-only subcontractors is one of those operational headaches that never fully goes away. Work gets done, subs want to get paid, and you’re piecing together some combination of personal payment apps, paper checks, and informal cash requests. This process can add friction to an already busy day and make it hard to keep your books clean for disputes, taxes, and other records.
FieldPay was built to solve this problem for the construction industry. Let’s take a closer look at what it does, how it works, and the gaps it fills for businesses like yours.
FieldPay is a mobile-first payment tool that lets you manage your labor sub payments from a private contractor roster, keeping everything in one place. Here is how it works:
FieldPay supports same-day ACH and Real-Time Payments (RTP) that settle 24/7, including weekends. For labor subs, fast pay is often the difference between saying yes to your job or someone else’s.
Informal payment systems are unquestionably common in the construction industry. However, evolving to take advantage of the latest technology can save time, money, stress, and other problems, including:
Labor-only subs are often the hardest segment of your workforce to manage. They move fast, they’re not always running sophisticated back-office systems, and they want to get paid quickly and move on. FieldPay meets them where they are with a simple mobile app where they claim jobs and request payouts in seconds.
FieldPay is built with construction businesses in mind. While the payment features may be some of its greatest advantages, it helps solve other problems you may be facing with innovative features, including:
Wondering if FieldPay is right for you? This innovative mobile-first payment tool offers benefits for a wide variety of construction businesses, especially if you:
If you’re already using Takeoff Monkey to handle your estimating and bid volume, FieldPay is a natural complement. Your front-end estimating is clean and professional, so your sub payment process should be too.
At the time of publication, FieldPay is $150/month, which includes up to $3,000 in monthly payouts. Above that threshold, it’s 5% per payout, with volume discounts available. No per-seat fees, no setup charges, and a 30-day money-back guarantee to take the risk out of trying it.
The construction and landscaping industry is gradually beginning to take advantage of the latest technology. Companies that used to run everything on whiteboards and handshakes are now using outsourced takeoff solutions, construction apps for automation, project management software, and digital job costing. Sub payments seem to be the last holdout, mostly because the right solutions haven’t been available (until now).
FieldPay doesn’t ask your subs to become tech-savvy, and it doesn’t ask your office to overhaul how they operate. It just creates a clean, documented, fast payment layer that seamlessly fits into the field work flow. Book a Fieldpay demo or sign up to get started today.
No, simplicity is a core part of the product. Subs interact with it through a native iOS or Android app. The interface is intentionally stripped down: claim the job, do the work, submit photos and location, request payout. That’s it.
No, it complements it. FieldPay generates clean, exportable payment records that feed into your existing workflow. Think of it as a verified payment layer, not a replacement for your books.
When a contractor checks in or submits for payout, their device logs their GPS location tied to the job. You can confirm they were on-site before approving the payment.
Flat rate, per unit, hourly, and percentage-based payouts are all supported in FieldPay. You can customize it based on how you’ve structured each job or sub relationship.
FieldPay offers same-day ACH or Real-Time Payments (RTP) that settle 24/7, including weekends. For subs who prioritize fast pay when choosing which jobs to take, this is a meaningful feature.
