Contractor software made in Canada.
Synhelm was built in Canada by a contractor who still works on site with his crew. Plans are priced in Canadian dollars, and your estimates and invoices use your province's tax and the words Canadian contractors use.
Overdue, due soon, paid, and the next step on every row.
The problem: software built for somewhere else
A lot of contractor software is priced in US dollars, per user, and set up for US taxes and terms. Canadian shops end up converting prices, fixing tax lines by hand, and calling holdback something it isn't.
How Synhelm handles it
Pick your province once. Synhelm sets your time zone and suggests the GST, HST or PST rate for your paper, and you can change the name and rate whenever you need to.
Crew clock in on their own phones with a PIN, even on a weak signal, and the hours, safety sheets, photos and paper all attach to the job.
What you get
Priced in Canadian dollars
Synhelm is free for up to 5 crew. Synhelm Pro is $79.99 CAD a month per shop, not per person.
Your province's tax on paper
The app suggests your province's rate for estimates and invoices. Change it any time; paper already sent keeps its rate.
Safety sheets and expiry warnings
Safety sheets at clock-in and at every job change, and a warning before tickets, licences and insurance certificates expire.
Holdback on progress billingPro
Deposit and progress invoices with holdback kept back on each one, then released when the job is done.
T5018 subcontractor summaryPro
A year of payments per subcontractor, ready for your bookkeeper's T5018 slips.
Overtime rules by provinceEnterprise
Pay periods that split regular and overtime hours using your province's rules, with an hours export.
Who it's for: Contractors and field-service companies across Canada who want one app for the crew, safety and paper, priced in dollars they already use.
