Jig™ by SideKick

Product Tour

Product tour

Walk a real job, screen by screen.

This is the flow as it actually runs: an RFI comes back with a price, becomes a change order, lands on the pay application, pulls the waivers behind it and closes the draw. Click any module, or press Next and let it walk you through. Hover anything underlined to see what it is.

Work in place plus stored materials, carried from the previous certificate and added to this period. RetainageHeld back.

Run a finger down the retainage column — it equals its own total, to the cent. Hover a heading to see where each figure comes from.

How it connects

One entry, and the rest of the job already knows.

Most software stores what you type. The work is in what happens next — and on a job, the same figure is wanted in five places by Friday. These are the chains Jig runs on your behalf.

Money

One approval, four consequences

Change order approvedContract sumCost lineActivity durationThis month's application

Approving it is the last time a person touches that number. Nothing downstream has to be told, so nothing downstream disagrees.

Documents

An answer with a price on it

RFI answeredCost and days recordedChange order raisedPriced, dated, traceable

The subject, the amount, the time and the cost line carry across. Six months later the change order still points back at the answer that caused it.

Field

One day, written once

Daily log entryCrews, weather, work, issuesPunch item or RFI raisedThe evidence a claim is argued from

Written on a phone, on site, on the day. Reconstructed eight months later in a conference room, the same facts are worth very little.

Money

An hour, counted once

Hours loggedRate class appliedCost lineBilledDrawn against the ceiling

One entry does the cost side and the billing side. Nobody keys the same timesheet into two systems and finds out in month four that they disagree.

Money

Paid, but not waived

Application marked paidCommitted companiesWaivers receivedFlagged before closeout

The gap between who was paid and who has signed is the exposure nobody finds until the title company asks. Jig compares the two every time an application is paid.

Field

A machine promised twice

Second booking madeDates compared across jobsClash on both boards

It shows the moment the second booking is made, not on the Monday morning a superintendent drives out to collect something that is already on another site.

Documents

Revise and resubmit

Package returned "revise"Cycle reopensResubmittal numberedSpec section still linked

A rejected submittal does not quietly close. It reopens, keeps its history, and stays attached to the specification it has to satisfy.

Pipeline

A bid that becomes a job

Estimate wonLines carried acrossProject, work order or budget

The job starts from the number you actually bid, line for line — not from somebody retyping a spreadsheet on the first morning.
