What We Build

Start with an MSA Margin Check. Build out from there.

The first build is free. Output is a specific dollar figure.

Dashboards, automations, and AI-assisted workflows are how we build these. The pain is what we solve. Everything here is scoped for Western Canadian industrial E&I contractors, and everything here is built by the person who scoped it.

The Wedge • Free First Build

MSA Margin Check

A mechanical payroll-to-ticket reconciliation, priced at your MSA rate sheet. We take your payroll data, your field tickets, and your MSA rate sheets, and we cross-reference the three. The output is a specific dollar figure of revenue earned and not billed.

Not a report. Not a strategy document. A number, and the flagged jobs that produced it.

Sample Output $60,175 unbilled revenue across 9 flagged jobs. Illustrative. Actual findings scoped to your data.

How the Check Works

Three inputs. One output. Three to four weeks.

What You Give Us

Payroll export, field ticket data, and MSA rate sheets for the clients in scope. A representative sample, not every row you have. We agree on the sample window together.

What We Do

Reconcile hours worked to hours billed. Cross-check premiums, travel, consumables, and equipment line items against your rate sheet. Flag the deltas. Validate the largest ones with you.

What You Get

A specific dollar figure of revenue earned and not billed. The flagged jobs that produced it. The methodology so your team can run the check themselves after we leave, if you want that.

Expansion

When the Margin Check proves out, here is what comes next.

Each of these is a separate conversation. We do not bundle. We do not push. Each one stands on its own, and each one ships a concrete deliverable.

Mission Control

The ongoing visibility layer. MSA Margin Check trend over time. Job-level margin. Cash flow. Crew utilization. Built on your data, delivered in a form your operators actually open.

What changed this week, why, and what to do about it, before the monthly meeting.

Estimating & Bidding

Structured take-off and pricing workflows for the competitively bid basket. Reusable templates for common project types. Historical cost data surfaced at the estimator’s fingertips. Win at the right price, not the wrong one.

Same bid, half the hours, and a margin you can defend to the bank.

Invoicing & OpenInvoice

Automate the field ticket to invoice path. Clean invoice templates keyed to each client’s rules. OpenInvoice-ready formatting. Shrink DSO by shipping clean invoices out the door faster, with fewer rejections and fewer resubmits.

Same AR team, faster cash, quieter bank conversations.

Inventory, SCM & Fleet

Visibility into what you own, where it is, and how it is being used. Inventory turns. Fleet utilization and cost per hour. Supply chain signal that shows up before a job stalls.

Know what is parked, what is working, and what is missing, in one view.

Scope Boundary

What Solhunde does not build.

This is the short list of things people sometimes expect us to build, and that we do not. Naming the fence up front saves everyone time.

Not in scope

Solhunde sits on top of whatever field ticket platform your shop already uses. We do not replace or compete with field ticket capture tools. Specifically:

  • Offline field ticket capture applications
  • MSA rate sheet engines built into field apps
  • Multi-portal approval integration workflows
  • Mobile platform parity for crew-side tooling

These are multi-year product categories, not consulting engagements.

How we fit

We take the data your existing tools already produce, and we turn it into margin. If your shop runs on Viewpoint, we work with Viewpoint. If it runs on another tool and a pile of spreadsheets, we work with those. If it runs on whatever the next thing is, we work with that.

The point of the engagement is to get more out of the tools you already pay for, not to replace them.

How We Work

Name the bottleneck. We build the first deliverable. The first build is free.

  1. Scope

    First conversation, in person when possible.

  2. Confirm

    As many conversations as it takes. Align on scope, data, success metrics, timeline.

  3. Build

    First deliverable built. If it delivers, talk about next. If not, you walk away with something useful at no cost.

  4. Scale

    When the first build proves out, plan what comes next. Retainer or project-based.

Ready to see a different angle?

The first conversation is about your business, not mine. I want to understand where your time, your people, and your cash are getting stuck. If there is work I can do that you would find useful, the first build is free.
