Software that ran, but that nobody could vouch for.
The business worked, but it worked around its software. Each team had its own tools. Hosting sat on personal accounts. Steel quantities were worked out by hand. And nobody could say for sure who still had access to what.
Tools everywhere
Projects, milestones, site records and payments tracked in different places, by different people.
Accounts in people’s names
If the wrong person left, the company could lose access to its own systems.
Know-how in a few heads
How a schedule is built or a payment is calculated lived with the people who did it.
One platform, built around how the company works.
ProjectSignal, set up for Viya
Projects, plans, milestones, site records and daily labor counts in one system, with separate access for staff, homeowners, contractors and architects.
Payroll and rebar schedules
A payroll module, and a rebar schedule tool with paid access per project, approval for offline payments, and export.
Moved into the company’s name
Code and hosting moved off personal accounts onto accounts the business owns, while the company kept working.
Built so they can build on it
Viya’s own people now extend the platform themselves, with AI coding tools, and we review what they build every week.
Fit the platform to the company, not the other way around.
- Start with the real work:we mapped how projects actually move, from agreement to handover, before configuring anything.
- One record for each thing:a project, a milestone, a person, each kept once and used everywhere.
- Access by role:each kind of user sees what they need, and nothing more.
- No big switch-off:the business kept running throughout the move.
A foundation the rest could be built on.
With projects, people and milestones in one place, two more things became possible.
Their team builds safely
Viya’s own builders extend the platform with AI coding tools, and a weekly review keeps it safe to run the business on.
14 AI workflows on top
Schedules from signed agreements, milestone plans imported into ProjectSignal, invoices and contracts, each checked by a person before it’s saved.
