Our Mission
Built for Subcontractors,
By People Who Listen
After extensive conversations with subcontractors about getting paid, one thing became clear: the industry deserves better tools. Not another generic accounting app—something built specifically for you.

Why We Built RIVET
The Industry Deserves Better
Every conversation with subcontractors revealed the same frustrations: hours lost to AIA paperwork, retainage tracked in spreadsheets, and money falling through the cracks.
The breaking point was hearing about a mechanical contractor who lost $23,000 in retainage because of a tracking error on a 14-month project. That money was already spent covering payroll.
So RIVET was built—the tool that should exist for every subcontractor who's tired of leaving money on the table.
