Get your retention back. On time.
Retention is your margin and cash. Built for contractors, retainr tracks every retention and bank guarantee you're owed and helps you recover on time.
Capabilities
- ContractsKnow your contracts. Upload a contract and retainr's AI reads it for you. Each job gets a summary of security held, milestone status and expected completion dates. Contracts and key project documents are stored in one place.
- WorkflowsClaimed on time, followed up until paid. retainr tracks every job through practical completion, the defects period and final completion, and drafts your release correspondence the moment you're entitled. If a release isn't paid, it escalates step by step, from reminder notices through to a Security of Payments Act "SOPA" claim.
- Bank guaranteesEvery guarantee tracked and returned on time. One register for every guarantee, with alerts before expiry and return requests drafted at PC and FC. Your bank facility isn't tied up longer than it needs to be.
- Email captureEvery email, filed to the right project. Cc your retainr inbox and each email is filed against the right project automatically. You build a complete correspondence trail, providing transparency for current and future staff and ready if a release is ever disputed.
- Cash forecastKnow your cash forecast. See what retention cash is due and expected each month, based on retention release due dates and your expected practical and final completion dates.
