Two ways in: the job, or the trade.
Most people arrive knowing one of two things: what is broken, or what business they are in. Both routes land on the same five workflows.
Five things a business needs fixed.
Each link goes to the page that describes what that line actually does, including where it does not do it yet.
Front desk
The calls, texts and web enquiries arriving while you are with a customer, after hours, or on a job.
Agents identify themselves as AI
Our agents identify themselves as AI on voice and chat. In regulated work they capture and route, and never advise.
Getting paid
Invoices that went out and then went quiet, and the margin that leaks when a vendor's price creeps up.
Ledger reads, it does not write
Ledger reads your books. It does not write to them: corrections are drafted for a person to make. Which connections are live, partial or not built →
Back office
The bookkeeping busywork, the approval traffic buried in an email thread, and where the money actually went this month.
This is the part of the house with a real deployment behind it. Read the one deployment →
Hiring and workforce
Who was on site, for how long, and what that means at month end.
Built for rosters, not a front desk
Foreman is built for rosters: security companies, estates, factories and farms. If your team is five people at a front desk, this is not the line you need, and we will say so.
Growth
Being found, being chosen, and filling the calendar.
Pricing for all of these is on one page. See pricing →
Bespoke is what happens when your problem is not one of these five, and it has its own page. If a call ends with us saying none of the above fits, that is a real outcome and not a failed sale.
Your industry, across the five jobs.
Find your row, read across. Empty cells are deliberate.

Three of the five columns look similar
Three of the five columns look similar across most rows. That is not padding: the books, the phone and the follow-up genuinely are the same job in a dental practice and a restaurant, and the tuning is in how the line is set up rather than in a different product.
A blank workforce cell
A blank workforce cell does not mean we cannot handle your staff. It means Foreman is built for rosters of workers on shift, and a five-person front desk is not the problem it solves. Selling it to you anyway would be the easiest sentence on this page to write.
Eight industries have a ready-made template today. More industries via the template gallery, or start from a blank workflow.
What the grid above is, and is not.
It is a map of what we offer and where it fits. It is not a claim that all of it has been run at depth in every industry on the list.
One deployment, told in full
The back office, the workforce and the approvals columns are running daily in our own family's manufacturing business, including the parts that still do not work.
