What can agents do for contractors?
Agents are goal-driven. Any goal you can articulate, an agent can do. An agent on Thirteen has access to all the tools it needs to be able to draft, file, and send paperwork on your behalf.
Whether you are on the field or about to go to sleep, your agent is always accessible and ready to work. It's as if you had an employee that was always on call.
Agents, however, can do more than just paperwork. They can research for you, tell you when material prices drop, or even schedule a meeting. Paperwork is really just the beginning of what can be done.
What can Thirteen do for contractors?
You might be familiar with existing construction software that is ugly, heavy, and time consuming. You (or someone else you pay) opens it daily, learns how to use it, drafts the invoices, tracks the hours, etc. Each aspect of existing software tries to force you to embrace their flaws and pay for it with your time and money. The double dip.
Our belief is that software should be purpose built for humans & agents. Your payroll specialist no longer has to scramble last minute to review the time sheets. Instead, a payroll agent should track hours over the week and make sure that come payroll there are no missing links. Thirteen presents the generational leap towards software that does more and demands less of you.
Where this came from.
spent a year on a few startup ideas that didn't work. Then he spent six months running a back office agency for construction. Across three companies, he handled the estimates, change orders, invoices, receipts, and hours. Every fire made Lucile and Thirteen do something new.
