Industries we serve

We build for the businesses we know from the inside.

We're at our best in operationally painful, admin-heavy businesses — where an owner or MD knows a process is broken but has no internal tech team to fix it. Facilities management and construction are where our operator experience runs deepest — decades on the frontline. The sectors below are where we've proven the same method, not where we claim the same depth.

Facilities management

Home turf
The pain

Reactive-callout SLAs breach — not because work isn't happening, but because chasing is manual and slips. Jobs, deadlines and evidence live across inboxes, spreadsheets and a CAFM nobody fully trusts.

What we'd automate
  • SLA & deadline guardian that escalates before a breach
  • Job chasing: reminder → call task → management
  • Compliance certs, renewals and audit packs
  • Site reports and document packs from your own files

Construction & contractors

Home turf
The pain

Quoting eats afternoons, variations get missed, and the operational glue between estimating, ops and finance is a person copying numbers between systems. Margin leaks in the gaps nobody owns.

What we'd automate
  • Enquiry → costed, on-brand quote in minutes
  • Variation and RFI tracking that doesn't slip
  • Reconciliation across CRM, accounts and spreadsheets
  • Certs, method statements and compliance packs assembled

Same method, other sectors we've built for.

Not decades of sector experience here — the same proof-first method, applied where it's already delivered.

Bidding & professional services

The pain

Good firms lose bids they should win — answers that miss what the evaluator scores, claims they can't always back, and quality that swings with whoever's free that week.

What we'd automate
  • Turn a firm's track record into evaluator-ready answers
  • Every claim evidenced, every response scored to the criteria
  • Bid & tender screening — chase only what you can win
  • Proposal and report packs built from your own library

Energy & decarbonisation

The pain

The best opportunities are buried across public registers and private datasets no one has time to join up. Projects get scoped across spreadsheets and silos, with no single place to run the work.

What we'd automate
  • Join scattered sources into a ranked, ready-to-act shortlist
  • Multi-technology scoping in one consistent workflow
  • Survey once, quote everything — no reconciliation after
  • Pipeline that surfaces winnable work before rivals reach it

Compliance-heavy operations

The pain

Expiries, renewals and audit packs live in someone's head and a colour-coded spreadsheet. One missed date is a lapsed accreditation, a failed audit, or a lost contract.

What we'd automate
  • Every cert, renewal and deadline tracked automatically
  • Audit packs assembled from source, on demand
  • Escalation before anything lapses — never after
  • Always audit-ready, with the evidence to prove it

Finance & admin-heavy functions

The pain

Invoices nobody chases, double entry between systems, inboxes that swallow the day. The work is essential, repetitive, and quietly expensive in people's time.

What we'd automate
  • Polite, relentless, automatic invoice & payment chasing
  • Data reconciliation — the end of double entry
  • Inbox triage, routing and draft replies ready to send
  • Board packs and reports built from your own numbers

Why we start with FM & construction

We don't research your sector. We've worked in it.

Proofworks is led by its founder — decades spent inside facilities management, construction, energy, bids and commercial operations, doing the work, not documenting it. Thirty of those years in FM and construction: we know an FM contract from a slide, we know where the margin hides on a build, and we know the difference between a clever demo and a system a team on site will actually use. That's the head start you're buying.

Don't see your sector? Name the process.

The industry matters less than the process. If you can name the one that annoys you most, we can show you what it's costing — and prove the fix on your own data before you commit.
