Each item the Act looks for is marked Missing, Check, Found or Not required, so you can see what to fix.

The date to watch

The day your customer's payment schedule is due, with public holidays and the Christmas shutdown counted, and what happens if they don't reply.

A PDF for your records

Save the check and the claim as one PDF, ready to keep on the job file.

What comes next: Numa Claims

Checked once. Now stop writing them by hand.

Numa Claims is our back office for payment claims. Numa drafts each month's claim from your jobs and approved variations and brings it to you in chat. Tap Approve from site, and it goes from your own mailbox.

Then it tracks the due dates and compares the payment schedule with your claim, line by line. A named person approves every claim, and every amount is calculated by code, not AI.

Money found

Find the money you've already earned.

Connect your mailbox and Numa reads six months of claim-related email, keeping only claims, payment schedules, RCTIs, remittances and variation approvals. Then it compares them all.

Each item links to its evidence and has one next step: add it to the next claim, chase the builder, or dismiss it with a reason.
