Nexus Business Register for construction and trades

Job costing and supplier control for construction and trades businesses

Trades and construction businesses live on margins that disappear through untracked materials, merchant price rises and invoices nobody matched to the job. Nexus Business Register keeps merchants, subcontractors, purchase requests and invoices together, and shows what each job really cost.

Match supplier invoices to projects without the admin headaches, and stay ISO-ready at the same time.

The problems we solve for construction and trades

Merchant invoices pile up

Upload invoices and let Nexus capture the details; confirm them and allocate lines to the job.

Prices creep up between orders

Price tracking highlights unit-price increases from each merchant.

Orders, deliveries and bills disagree

PO and delivery evidence sit next to the invoice so gaps are visible.

Subcontractor paperwork expires

Keep insurance, certificates and registrations against each subcontractor and review them before relying on them.

Questions from construction and trades

Can I split a merchant invoice across several jobs?

Yes. Invoice lines can be allocated in full or by percentage to different jobs or projects.

Can site staff raise purchase requests?

Yes. Permitted users can raise purchase requests, and the owner or manager approves them.

Is it suitable for a small trades business?

Yes. Owner-controlled purchasing means a sole trader gets a clear record without needing a second approver, and Essentials is €25 a month including VAT.
