Earlytrade integrates with leading construction ERP systems including Trimble Jobpac and Vista, while also supporting other ERP platforms.
The partnership allows contractors to offer optional HC-funded advance payments to subcontractors without changing existing payment processes or relinquishing capital controls. Unlike traditional invoice factoring or supply chain financing, Earlytrade’s model allows lead contractors to deploy their own capital in a structured, automated program designed to improve the predictability of project margins and reduce financial variability.
“Construction industry executives are under pressure from rising costs and squeezed margins,” said Guy Saxelby, CEO and co-founder of Earlytrade. “This partnership provides contractors with a disciplined way to strengthen their construction supply chain while generating predictable returns from the capital already on their balance sheet.”
Common industry challenges, including declining cash yields and manual prepayment processes, have made margin stability more difficult to achieve. Earlytrade’s automated eligibility checks and approval workflows help contractors stage early payments with built-in risk monitoring and controls.
“BuildingPoint works closely with contractors who focus on performance, visibility and operational control,” said Andrew Farley, Managing Director of BuildingPoint Australia. “Partnering with Earlytrade allows us to introduce a practical working capital solution that supports subcontractors, while strengthening the bottom line of main subcontractors. The fact that Earlytrade integrates seamlessly with our Trimble ERP solutions is what makes this partnership strategically compelling. »
