Service-disabled veteran-owned small business

Built by a small business, for small businesses

PhurFriend is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB). That is not a marketing line — it shapes who we build for and how we sell.

Veteran-owned businesses are heavily represented in the trades, and contractors working federal and state jobs deal with the same paperwork we do: prevailing wage determinations, weekly certified payroll, retainage held until acceptance, and a bonding agent who wants a current WIP schedule. We built the compliance side of this product because it is the part nobody else at this price does — and because we understood the paperwork before we wrote a line of it.

Why this exists

A contractor finishes a job, the invoices get paid, and only then does anyone work out that it lost money. It is not carelessness. The generic bookkeeping tools cannot do job costing without setup nobody maintains, and the purpose-built systems want twenty to forty hours of training and several hundred dollars a month before anyone has touched them.

There is a gap between a shoe box and an enterprise system, and almost every contractor doing one to ten million dollars a year is sitting in it.

How we work

• We publish our price and hold it. You should not have to book a call to learn what software costs, and you should not find your bill has doubled in year three.
• Your data leaves whenever you want. One button, every table, free. We would rather keep you because the product is good than because leaving is painful.
• The software says when it is unsure. A cost it cannot confidently place waits for you rather than being guessed at. A wrong number that looks confident is worse than no number.
• You get a person. Poor support is the loudest complaint in reviews of every product we compete with. While we are small, you get a direct line to the person who built this.
