The platform

Every surface your business runs on. One system.

Groundwork is organized around how service businesses actually operate — Sales, Financial, Operations, Admin, and Field. Each surface is deep enough to stand alone. Together, they eliminate the seams.

Admin & Roles

Configure once. Run everywhere.

The most under-rated feature in Groundwork is its permission model. Every screen in the platform is individually assignable to roles. Start from a sensible company default, then customize per person.

  • Six default rolesOwner, Management, Sales, Estimator, Field, View-only — configurable.
  • Screen-level access matrixGrant Pipeline but not Financial. Grant Reports but not Payments.
  • Templates & automationsReusable email templates, checklists, forms, and drip campaigns.
  • Approval queue & audit logApprove estimates, flag anomalies, see who changed what.
  • Client portal & Field ModeExternal access for clients. Rugged internal access for crews.
Field & Daily Dashboards

The bridge between the office and the truck.

The office runs on desktops. The field runs on phones. Groundwork's My Day, Team View, and Field Mode connect the two without asking either side to change how they work.

M

My Day

Personal daily view — open, overdue, upcoming, and a daily start-up checklist. Every role gets one, tuned to their work.

T

Team View

Managers see every rep's day, every crew's status, every follow-up state — one screen, no reports.

F

Field Mode

Rugged mobile-first view for foremen and crews. Route, scope, clock, photos, sign-off. Nothing else.
