Stop chasing paperwork: How Payapps simplifies progress claims for construction pros 

Written By Sarah Poirier

Getting paid on time in construction can feel like a never-ending battle. Progress claims get stuck in approval cycles, emails pile up, and small errors can lead to frustrating delays. Cash flow suffers, and subcontractors are left waiting. Payapps steps in to change that, providing a cloud-based platform that standardizes, automates, and simplifies the entire payment process. With real-time claim tracking, contractors and subcontractors can see exactly where their submissions stand—no more chasing approvals or wondering when payments will arrive. Everything is digital, connected, and designed to keep cash flow moving so construction teams can focus on building—not paperwork.

A smarter way to handle progress claims  

Instead of chasing signatures or digging through spreadsheets, Payapps brings everything into one place. This cloud-based platform allows contractors and subcontractors to submit, review, and approve claims in real-time. There will be no more lost paperwork or delays—just a smooth, transparent process from start to finish.  

The platform eliminates manual data entry and automates many of the most time-consuming steps in the claims process. Contractors no longer need to worry about missing information, incorrect calculations, or inconsistent approvals. Payapps ensures claims meet contract terms before they’re submitted, reducing errors that can hold up payments.  

One of the most frustrating parts of progress claims is tracking where things stand. Payapps provides real-time updates, so everyone involved knows the exact status of each claim. There’s no need to send follow-up emails or make calls to check on approvals—everything is visible in one centralized system.  

Why construction companies love Payapps  

BW: Workplace Experts, a UK-based construction company, put Payapps to the test and saw major improvements. By shifting to digital claims management, they cut administrative workload and gave their teams more time to focus on actual building projects.  

With fewer delays in approvals, cash flow became more predictable, and subcontractors knew when to expect payments. Since Payapps integrates with popular accounting software, financial teams no longer had to enter the same data multiple times, reducing errors and saving valuable time.  

Beyond streamlining approvals, the platform helped reduce disputes. Every action taken within Payapps is logged, creating an auditable trail of submissions, approvals, and payment timelines. This level of transparency keeps all parties aligned and minimizes miscommunication. Instead of going back and forth over missing documents or unclear contract terms, project managers could focus on moving construction forward.  

Faster payments, fewer disputes 

Late payments can bring a project to a standstill. By standardizing the progress claim process, Payapps keeps cash flow moving. Automatic reminders and structured workflows mean claims don’t get buried in someone’s inbox. Everything is tracked, time-stamped, and auditable, so there’s a clear record of what was submitted and when.  

For subcontractors, this means less uncertainty about payment timelines. For contractors, it ensures compliance and reduces last-minute disputes over invoice details. Having a reliable claims process in place strengthens relationships between all parties and creates a smoother financial workflow.  

Ready to simplify your payment process?  

If progress claims are slowing down your projects, it’s time to move to a smarter system. Payapps helps construction teams focus on building—not chasing payments.
