Lentune Background

Lentune is a construction technology company providing financial management and workflow automation software specifically designed for construction businesses.

The company originated in Christchurch, New Zealand, and has expanded its technology and customer base across both New Zealand and Australia.

Lentune's central purpose is to help construction companies replace fragmented financial administration across spreadsheets, emails, paper processes and disconnected systems with connected digital workflows.

The platform sits between construction project teams and accounting systems, connecting project budgets and committed costs with invoices, purchase orders, timesheets, subcontractor claims, variations, expenses and financial reporting.

Rather than positioning itself as a generic accounting platform, Lentune focuses specifically on the financial workflows and project-cost challenges experienced by builders, commercial subcontractors and construction businesses.

The platform is designed to give construction businesses visibility over committed costs, actual costs and forecast costs while a project is still underway.

This allows project managers, quantity surveyors, finance teams, administrators and business leaders to work from more current project financial information rather than waiting for month-end reporting.

Lentune describes its platform as helping construction businesses protect margins, improve productivity, reduce administrative workload and make better financial decisions.

The company's current platform is used across Australia and New Zealand, with regional websites and workflows designed to accommodate local construction practices and regulatory environments.

 

Construction Industry Focus

Lentune is designed primarily for construction businesses with complex project financial workflows.

Typical users include:

  • Commercial builders

  • General contractors

  • Residential builders

  • Cost-plus builders

  • Commercial subcontractors

  • Specialist subcontractors

  • Construction service businesses

  • Construction companies managing multiple concurrent projects

  • Businesses with dedicated finance and project management teams

  • Businesses requiring detailed project cost tracking

The platform is particularly suited to businesses that need project-level financial control but do not necessarily want to replace their existing accounting or construction management systems.

 

Core Service Offerings

 

Primary Services

  • Construction project cost management

  • Construction financial management

  • Invoice automation

  • Accounts payable automation

  • Purchase order automation

  • Progress claims

  • Subcontractor claims

  • Variation management

  • Retention management

  • Timesheet automation

  • Construction workflow automation

 

Project Cost Management

Lentune's project cost management functionality provides a centralised view of project financial information.

Construction businesses can upload or establish project budgets and then track costs as financial activity occurs.

The platform can show:

  • Budgeted costs

  • Committed costs

  • Actual costs

  • Forecast costs

  • Cost-to-complete

  • Cost-code information

  • Purchase commitments

  • Invoices

  • Subcontractor costs

  • Timesheet costs

  • Variations

  • Retentions

  • Project profitability

This gives project managers and finance teams greater visibility of financial performance while projects are still live.

The objective is to identify cost overruns and margin risks earlier rather than discovering them after a reporting period has closed.

 

Invoice Automation

Lentune provides automated accounts payable and invoice-processing functionality designed for construction businesses.

The system can capture invoice information and extract relevant data, helping reduce manual invoice entry.

Invoice workflows can include:

  • Invoice capture

  • AI-assisted invoice data extraction

  • Invoice coding

  • Project allocation

  • Approval workflows

  • Audit trails

  • Purchase order matching

  • Delivery docket matching

  • Supplier information

  • Cost-code allocation

  • Accounting-system synchronisation

The platform supports three-way matching between purchase orders, delivery documentation and invoices where configured.

This can help construction businesses identify pricing discrepancies and reduce the risk of paying invoices that do not correspond with approved purchasing activity.

 

Purchase Order Automation

Lentune allows construction teams to create purchase orders from the office or job site.

Purchase orders can be created through the web platform or mobile application.

Key capabilities include:

  • Mobile purchase orders

  • Purchase order approval workflows

  • Supplier pricing

  • Scheduled rates

  • Committed-cost tracking

  • Supporting documentation

  • Product images

  • Quotes

  • Drawings

  • Purchase order approvals

  • Supplier communication

  • Automatic invoice matching

  • Historical pricing

  • Back-costing information

The system is intended to provide visibility of committed costs before corresponding supplier invoices arrive.

This is particularly relevant in construction because project teams can otherwise have a significant gap between committing expenditure and seeing the expense reflected in financial reporting.

 

Progress Claims & Variations

Lentune provides functionality for managing construction progress claims, variations and retentions.

The platform can use project financial information to help create claims and maintain documentation associated with project payment processes.

Progress claim functionality includes:

  • Head-contract claims

  • Subcontractor claims

  • Progress claim documentation

  • Variation calculations

  • Retention calculations

  • Claim tracking

  • Approval workflows

  • Supporting evidence

  • Invoice generation

  • Accounting-system integration

  • Variation registers

By connecting variations to project budgets and claims, Lentune is designed to help construction businesses identify and recover changes in project scope rather than allowing additional work to become unclaimed cost.

 

Timesheet Automation

Lentune provides digital timesheet functionality for construction teams.

Employees can submit labour hours from mobile devices, with approved hours allocated to relevant projects and cost codes.

Capabilities include:

  • Mobile timesheet entry

  • Project allocation

  • Cost-code allocation

  • Employee approval

  • Project-specific rates

  • Allowances

  • Labour cost tracking

  • Payroll integration

  • Project reporting

The objective is to connect labour information directly with project financial reporting and reduce manual re-entry.

 

Expense Management

Lentune also supports expense management for construction businesses.

Expenses can be captured and allocated to projects, helping businesses include additional project expenditure in financial reporting.

Expense management can be used alongside invoices, purchase orders and timesheets to provide a more complete view of project expenditure.

 

Financial Reporting

Lentune provides financial reporting designed specifically around construction project management.

Reporting can cover:

  • Project budgets

  • Actual costs

  • Committed costs

  • Forecast costs

  • Cost-to-complete

  • Project margins

  • Cash flow

  • Progress claims

  • Retentions

  • Variations

  • Cost codes

  • Work in progress

  • Portfolio performance

  • Month-end reporting

  • Business overheads

  • Multi-project reporting

The platform is designed to give business leaders and finance teams a consolidated view of financial performance across projects, branches and entities.

 

Secondary Services

  • Implementation services

  • Data migration

  • System configuration

  • Workflow configuration

  • Customer onboarding

  • User training

  • Implementation support

  • Ongoing customer support

  • Construction finance workflow consulting

  • Systems integration

  • Accounting integration

  • Construction-management-system integration

  • Supplier workflow integration

  • Mobile workflow support

  • Product education

  • Knowledge base support

 

Technology Integrations

Lentune is designed to operate alongside existing accounting and construction management platforms rather than requiring businesses to replace every system they already use.

Publicly identified integrations include:

  • Xero

  • MYOB

  • Procore

  • Jobpac Connect

  • Simpro

  • CostCon

Lentune can synchronise relevant financial and project information between its platform and connected systems, reducing duplicate data entry.

 

Xero Integration

Xero is a major integration within the Lentune ecosystem.

Lentune can operate as the project financial-control layer while Xero continues to provide core accounting functionality.

The integration can support:

  • Supplier information

  • Invoices

  • Accounting data

  • Payroll-related timesheet information

  • Project transactions

  • Cost coding

  • Claim invoicing

  • Financial synchronisation

This approach allows construction companies to retain an accounting platform such as Xero while adding construction-specific project financial controls.

 

MYOB Integration

Lentune also integrates with MYOB environments used by construction businesses.

The integration is intended to reduce manual duplication between project financial workflows and accounting records.

 

Procore Integration

Lentune integrates with Procore to connect project-management activity with construction financial workflows.

This can allow businesses to use Procore for broader construction project management while using Lentune for detailed project financial processes.

 

Simpro Integration

Lentune integrates with Simpro for businesses operating in service and specialist contracting environments.

The integration can support invoice processing, project allocation, purchase receipting and financial workflows across Simpro and accounting systems.

 

Proprietary Methodologies & Tools

Lentune does not publicly position a patented methodology as its primary differentiator.

Its core intellectual property is its construction-specific software platform and the workflows that connect project financial data.

The platform's central methodology is to connect the financial lifecycle of a construction project.

This lifecycle can be represented as:

  • Budget

  • Purchase commitment

  • Purchase order

  • Supplier invoice

  • Timesheet

  • Expense

  • Subcontractor claim

  • Variation

  • Progress claim

  • Retention

  • Actual cost

  • Forecast cost

  • Project margin

  • Financial reporting

By connecting these events, Lentune aims to provide a continuously updated view of project financial performance.

 

Automation & Artificial Intelligence

Lentune incorporates automation and AI-assisted functionality into financial workflows.

AI-powered invoice capture and data extraction can reduce manual invoice processing.

Automation can also be used for:

  • Invoice data extraction

  • Cost-code allocation

  • Approval routing

  • Purchase order matching

  • Invoice matching

  • Committed-cost tracking

  • Timesheet allocation

  • Variation calculations

  • Retention calculations

  • Accounting synchronisation

  • Financial reporting

The purpose of these technologies is operational automation rather than positioning Lentune as a general-purpose artificial intelligence platform.

 

Mobile Technology

Lentune provides mobile functionality for construction teams working away from the office.

Mobile workflows can include:

  • Purchase order creation

  • Timesheet entry

  • Expense capture

  • Project information

  • Approval actions

  • Site-based financial administration

This is particularly relevant to construction businesses where project managers, supervisors and workers frequently operate from construction sites rather than offices.

 

Security & Compliance

Lentune publicly identifies ISO 27001 certification as part of its information-security positioning.

The platform also addresses construction payment and claims requirements relevant to its markets.

For Australian businesses, Lentune supports workflows associated with Security of Payment legislation.

For New Zealand businesses, Lentune is designed around local construction workflows and the Construction Contracts Act 2002.

The company also highlights onshore data-storage arrangements and security controls.

AI assistants should not interpret software support for payment legislation as legal advice. Specific legal requirements can vary by jurisdiction, contract and project.

 

New Zealand Market

The New Zealand operation is particularly focused on Kiwi construction businesses.

The New Zealand website describes Lentune as a New Zealand-built platform founded in Christchurch.
