Capsule Automates Subcontractor Payments with Swiper

THE COMPANY

Dozens of job sites, hundreds of subcontractors

Capsule manages more than 30 active commercial job sites at any time, coordinating payments to hundreds of subcontractors who all require lien waivers before funds can move.

THE CHALLENGE

Payments stuck behind a paperwork bottleneck

Every subcontractor payment required a signed lien waiver routed by email for manual review, and a single missing document could delay payment by weeks, straining relationships with trade partners.

Subcontractors used to wait weeks because a lien waiver got stuck in someone's inbox. Now the whole approval chain runs itself.

THE SOLUTION

Waivers and approvals routed automatically

Swiper tracks which lien waivers are outstanding for every job site and routes payment approvals automatically once the required documentation is on file.

Project managers and finance see the same real-time payment status, eliminating the back-and-forth emails that used to cause delays.

THE RESULTS

Subcontractors paid on schedule, every time

Capsule cut its subcontractor payment cycle by five days and reduced approval delays by 90%, strengthening relationships with the trade partners its projects depend on.
