Retainage Management

Stop Losing Money to Forgotten Retainage

Track every dollar held back on every project. Know exactly when retainage is due, get automatic reminders, and never leave money on the table again.

Subcontractors Lose Millions in Retainage Every Year

When you're juggling 10+ projects with different GCs, tracking 5-10% held on each becomes impossible. Retainage falls through the cracks. Rivet makes sure it doesn't.

Forgotten Retainage

Projects close out and retainage gets lost in spreadsheets. Money you've earned disappears.

Lost revenue on every project

No Visibility

Tracking retainage across multiple GCs and projects in Excel is a nightmare.

Hours wasted on manual tracking

Missed Deadlines

Without automated reminders, release dates slip by unnoticed.

Delayed payments hurt cash flow
