Automate 80% of your project costs in one clever platform

Construction cost management software gives builders real-time visibility of every project cost — invoices, purchase orders, timesheets, subcontractor claims, variations, and retentions — all in one place. Instead of chasing numbers across spreadsheets and email, your finance team and project leaders can see committed costs, actuals, and forecast cost-to-complete as they happen. The result? Faster decisions, fewer nasty surprises at month end, and better margin protection across your whole portfolio. Lentune is built specifically for Australian builders who want that level of control without the complexity of a full ERP. 

Lentune is built for general contractors, commercial subcontractors, and residential cost-plus builders in Australia, typically with revenues between $5M and $100M. It works best for businesses running Xero who need project-level financial control across multiple concurrent projects. Lentune also integrates with Procore, Simpro, and MYOB AccountRight — so if you're already running those platforms, you can plug Lentune in without doubling up on data entry.

Variations and retentions are two of the biggest sources of margin leakage in construction — and both are notorious for slipping through the cracks when you're relying on spreadsheets. Lentune tracks variations in a dedicated register linked to your project budget and approval workflows, so scope changes are captured and claimed rather than absorbed. Retentions are calculated and tracked automatically across both head contracts and subcontracts, with release management and full audit trails. No more retention spreadsheets. No more missed claims.

Yes. Lentune supports the payment claim process at the heart of Security of Payment legislation right across Australia. You can generate clear payment claims with supporting documentation, and keep variations and retention tracked in one place. Each state and territory has its own act. The Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 1999 in NSW, the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 in QLD, the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act 2002 in VIC, the Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) Act 2021 in WA, and their equivalents in SA, TAS, the ACT, and the NT. The details differ, but they all reward the same thing: good records and claims you can back up. That's what Lentune is built to help you do.

Yes. Lentune works with MYOB AccountRight via a batch CSV export, so you can keep your existing accounting setup and add project-level financial control on top. Every cost captured in Lentune — invoices, timesheets, expense claims, subcontractor payments — is coded and validated first, then exported as a clean CSV ready to load straight into MYOB, without any formatting changes. Less manual keying. Better accuracy. Your MYOB stays clean.

Two ways. First, Lentune integrates directly with Simpro for accounts payable automation — syncing real-time PO and supplier invoice data between the two systems, with approval workflows built in. Approved costs can sync through to Xero for payment. Second, if you're a wholesaler supplying Simpro customers, Lentune's Wholesaler Connect product automates the supplier price file sync and invoice delivery into your customers' Simpro catalogues.

The easiest platform to use is the one your site team, project managers, and finance team will all actually adopt — and that's what Lentune is built for. The mobile app lets site staff create purchase orders, submit timesheets, and capture expenses without any training. Finance teams get automated invoice processing and clear approval workflows. Project leaders get live dashboards they can read without a finance degree. Our software is made for humans: easy to learn, and easy to use.

Lentune implementation typically takes up to eight weeks, with many Australian businesses going live sooner. After your demo and discovery call, your dedicated implementation specialist works alongside your team from kickoff to go-live — covering configuration, data migration, training, and weekly check-ins the whole way through.

Cost accuracy problems usually come from the same places: invoices coded to the wrong project, purchase orders that don't match what was agreed, timesheet data that never makes it to the project report, and variations that get absorbed instead of claimed. Lentune tackles each of these directly. AI-powered invoice extraction and automatic cost code allocation cut down on manual coding errors. Three-way matching between purchase orders, delivery dockets, and invoices catches supplier overcharging before it's paid. Timesheet data flows straight to project cost reports. And variation management keeps scope changes visible and claimable before they become a margin problem.
