The problem

Still chasing timesheets
on a Sunday night?
Wondering which van took the diesel?

Most contracting back-office work — time, expenses, holidays, customer accounts — is repetitive enough to disappear. PaperDrop's People & Productivity tools handle the admin so your team can stay on site.

Holiday requests

Time off, sorted in seconds.

Employees request days off from the app, managers approve in one tap, the calendar updates everywhere. No more pencil amendments on the office wall planner.

Mileage claims

Mileage, without the paperwork.

Log business trips and vehicle use with a few quick inputs. Job mileage flows straight into the job's Financial Overview as expenditure. Approve, pay, done.

Expenses

Every expense, on the go.

Upload a receipt photo, pick a category, allocate to a job or an internal cost code. Submitted for approval before the engineer's back at the office.

Timesheets

Timesheets your team will actually use.

A weekly timesheet workflow built for contractors on the tools. Book time against jobs or ad-hoc tasks, submit, manager approves, payroll picks it up.
