Know your margin before the job is over.
SteelEye connects bids, estimating, daily labor, job costing, billing, AR/AP, and executive dashboards so steel contractors can control cost, cash, and backlog from the first opportunity to the final dollar.

Job Costing
Actual cost, committed cost, payroll cash, AP cash, and AR cash stay separated.
Why steel teams switch
Spreadsheet control breaks the moment the job starts.
SteelEye is not a generic CRM, not a payroll app, and not another spreadsheet wrapper. It is a steel construction operating system that keeps estimates, budgets, actuals, billing, payables, and leadership metrics tied to the same project truth.
Bid follow-ups live in inboxes instead of a pipeline.
Markup and margin get mixed into estimating spreadsheets.
Payroll is treated like job cost instead of cash movement.
AP bills and cost inputs are not separated cleanly.
Project managers see overruns after they already happened.
Leadership waits for accounting reports to understand cash exposure.
One connected system
Every module feeds the next one.
The estimate becomes the budget. Daily labor and cost input become actual cost. Pay apps and AP become cash visibility. Company dashboards aggregate the entire operation.
Pipeline and bids
Track every bid, due date, follow-up, status, estimator, bid type, and expected gross profit in one live pipeline.
Steel estimating
Build fabrication, install labor, lodging, equipment, consumables, markup, tax, and final review from structured inputs.
Labor input
Capture daily crew hours, travel, overtime, worker type, burdened job-cost rates, weekly exceptions, and finalized payroll flows.
Job costing
Compare budget, actuals, forecast, committed cost, category performance, cost code hours, cash exposure, AR, and AP.
Billing and pay apps
Generate SOVs, G702/G703 pay applications, change order lines, retainage, and PDF exports without spreadsheet drift.
CEO and CFO dashboards
Roll project data into company-level revenue, backlog, WIP, cash, AR, AP, labor efficiency, and margin visibility.
How the data moves
From bid to cash without losing context.
SteelEye keeps cost and cash separate, while still showing leadership the full picture: what was sold, what it should cost, what it actually costs, what is committed, what is billed, and what is collected.
See it liveEstimate with cost discipline
Separate direct cost, overhead, markup, margin, taxes, and scope assumptions so the estimate becomes the project budget.
Run the project from field data
Daily labor, cost input, AP bills, billing, and change orders feed the job dashboard instead of scattered spreadsheets.
Lead from company visibility
CEO and CFO views summarize backlog, WIP, AR, AP, cash exposure, margin, labor efficiency, and pipeline health.
Built for owners and operators
What changes when your data is connected?
- Estimators stop rebuilding the same spreadsheets for every bid.
- PMs see actual cost from weekly labor and approved cost input - not payroll noise.
- Accounting sees AP and payroll as cash movement, not distorted job cost.
- Leadership sees backlog, WIP, cash exposure, and pipeline before month-end.
Stop finding out you lost money after the job is done.
