Siteline
Siteline is web-based construction billing software for commercial trade contractors that digitizes pay applications, lien waivers, compliance documents, and accounts-receivable workflows so teams submit accurate draws to general contractors faster than spreadsheet-based processes.
Siteline focuses on subcontractors who juggle dozens of GC-specific forms each month: the vendor states that users have billed more than ten billion dollars across two hundred thousand projects, which signals wide adoption among trade contractors even though your own results depend on discipline (Siteline, 2026). The product digitizes the exact PDF-style forms each GC requires, then tracks compliance items such as insurance certificates and lien waivers that often block payment when they expire.
Feature groups include custom pay apps, compliance tracking, change order visibility, lien waiver generation and reminders, A/R reporting, cash-flow forecasting, collections tasks, and lien-right calendars tuned to state rules. Together they aim to replace email chains and shared drives that hide the latest waiver or understates retention.
Integrations receive emphasis: Siteline connects accounting systems and GC payment portals so project managers stop retyping values that already exist upstream. The marketing site claims digitized forms for more than twenty-three thousand pay app and lien waiver templates spanning over seventeen thousand general contractors, which reduces manual mapping work when onboarding a new customer (Siteline, 2026).
Siteline is not a full ERP: it complements QuickBooks, Sage, or similar ledgers by owning the construction billing layer. Finance leaders still own credit policies; Siteline focuses on speed, accuracy, and visibility from billing coordinator through CFO.

Frequently asked questions
Is Siteline only for subcontractors?
- Yes. Messaging targets commercial trade contractors who bill general contractors on complex pay app packages. General contractors who need downstream billing should evaluate GC-focused platforms instead.
Does Siteline integrate with QuickBooks or Sage?
- The integrations page lists accounting connections and GC payment portals so AR teams can avoid double entry. Confirm your exact ERP version and desired sync objects during a demo.
Can Siteline handle lien waivers and retainage?
- Yes. Dedicated features generate waivers, send reminders, and track retainage alongside billing so rejections tied to paperwork decrease.
How much does Siteline cost?
- Public pricing is not shown on the main marketing story. Request a demo to compare modules, user seats, and implementation help for your portfolio.
What results do customers report?
- Siteline publishes metrics such as faster billing cycles and fewer rejected pay apps on its homepage. Treat them as directional until you run a pilot on your own jobs.
Does Siteline work on phones?
- The platform is web-based; field staff can log in from browsers on laptops or tablets where your policy allows. Ask about native mobile apps versus responsive web during evaluation.
