Throughlineby Axiom
One system for cathodic protection & industrial contractors

Run the whole job from one system.

Bid it. Schedule it. Build it. Bill it. And know your real number on every job — while you can still do something about it.

And you don't do it alone — every account comes with a Digital Transformation consultant who fits the software to how you already work.

Real-time visibility into every job. The data that drives it forward.

01Real-time visibility

See every job
as it happens.

The bid, the crew, the hours, the cost and the margin — live, while the work's still going on. Not a report you read a week after the job closed. It's data that drives the job forward, while you can still steer it.

Catch cost overruns before they happen

Live cost and margin flag a job going the wrong way while there's still time to fix it — not after it's already lost money.

Forecast your scheduling

See crew and equipment demand ahead of the work, so you know where you're short before the job starts.

Scale your crews on data, not guesswork

Grow on information and technology instead of gut feel — the same system runs three crews or thirty.

“This system helps my guys identify problems before they get big — turns a $50K problem into a $5K one.”

02How it works

It all runs down one line.

1

Bid

SmartBid estimates, takeoffs & vendor-quote capture.

2

Schedule

Plan crew & iron — and assign only who's certified.

3

Field

Daily tickets & safety from a phone — online or off.

4

Bill

Invoices generated off approved field time.

5

Numbers

Real-time job cost, margin & production.

Station 1 · Bid

SmartBid

Your real costs from the jobs you've already run — labor, iron, materials — in hand while you price the next one. Lock the margin on your own history, not a guess. It doesn't do your bid. It arms the man who does.

Station 2 · Schedule

Smart Schedule

Who's free, who's carrying the right cards, where the iron's committed — live, by the day, off tight labor and equipment tracking. It doesn't set your schedule. It shows the whole board to the man who does.

Station 5 · Numbers

Real Cost Tracking

Every hour, every receipt, every machine tracked to the job while it runs — so the margin you're looking at is the real one. It doesn't run the job. It hands the real number to the man who does.

You can't protect a margin you can't see. And what gets tracked gets tightened.

Nothing gets re-typed. The ticket your foreman fills at the tailgate becomes the daily report, the timesheet, the invoice line and the job cost — one entry, every report. Every tracked hour, receipt and machine shows you where the next point of margin is hiding — and you don't wait till a job's closed out to find out what it made.

03First call to paid invoice

One thread. The whole story of the job.

Every opportunity gets tracked from the day it shows up — through the estimate, the award, the field and the invoice — with notes and dates on every step. The SmartBid estimate doesn't die in a spreadsheet: it rides into the job as its budget, and the field runs against it. So when a job comes in over or under, you don't just see the number. You see the reason.

Know why it missed

Estimate vs. actual on every job, with the reason on the record — weather, scope, estimating — so the next bid gets it right.

The history lives on the job, not in somebody's head

Calls, notes and changes, dated on the record. When the question comes up in month three, the answer's already written down.

Margins you can pinpoint

As the work stacks up, you can still put your finger on the exact job — and the exact reason — when the number moves.

04Scheduling in real time

Know Monday's crew on Thursday.

The schedule isn't a whiteboard photo somebody texts around. It's live — who's committed, who's free, who's carrying the right cards for the scope — day by day, weeks out. When a customer calls wanting a crew Monday, you look before you answer.

Only certified hands on the pick list

Assign a scope and the board only offers the men carrying the right cards for it.

See the short week coming

Crew and equipment demand ahead of the work — you know where you're thin before it costs you a job.

Answer the phone with the board open

Customer wants a crew Monday? Look, then commit. No more yes-and-hope.

06Safety & compliance

Paper that stands up at the gate.

JSAs, incident reports and safety forms filled from the field, on a phone, online or off. Credentials and expirations tracked for every man — and flagged weeks before they lapse, not discovered at the gate at 6 a.m.

Nobody gets turned away

A lapsing card surfaces weeks early — while it's a desk problem, not a stood-down crew burning a day you already paid for.

New hires squared away before day one

Offer, paperwork, drug test, background — every screen scheduled and tracked to cleared. Nobody hits the field with a hole in his file.

The whole packet from a phone

JSA at the tailgate, incident on the spot — signed, time-stamped, attached to the job where the work happened.

Records ready when the customer asks

No binder hunt. Every form and every card, current and in one place, on the job it belongs to.

No more days lost to an OQ nobody knew was lapsing, an expired CDL, or a packet missing a page at the gate.
07Set up your way

It works the way you already work.

We set it up around your jobs, your crews and your words — not the other way around. No 12-month rollout. No re-training the whole company on somebody else's system.

›
Your words

Call them jobs or projects — the software talks like your yard does.

›
Your tools only

Turn on what you use. Leave the rest off. No bloat you're paying for.

›
Your data stays yours

Your own database — never mixed in with anybody else's books.

08By role

Everybody sees what they need. Nothing they don't.

Everyone's looking at the same job — but only the part that's theirs to run. The right information for every role, and nothing that isn't.

  • Locked down in the system, not left up to trust.
09Your AI consultant — included

You don't just get software. You get the consultant who bends it around your business.

Every account comes with a dedicated Digital Transformation consultant from Axiom. They learn how your shop actually runs, shape the platform to your workflows — not the other way around — and design custom AI around the way you already work. The result: more of the busywork runs itself, with fewer hands on the paperwork.

01
Step one

We learn your workflows

Your consultant sits with your office and crews and maps how the work really moves — job to job, yard to books.

02
Step two

We fit the software to you

The platform gets configured to your process and your divisions — so it fits how you already run, not the other way around.

03
Step three

We automate the busywork

Custom AI, designed for your workflow, takes the repetitive handoffs off your people — the simple tasks that eat hours nobody bills for. It suggests, the system checks the math, a person signs off.

Straight talk on AI: no black box, no hype. Every automation is built around a real job you do today, it runs under your control, and a person always signs off. The goal is simple — more automation, fewer manual touchpoints, and hours handed back to your office every week.

10Why Throughline

Everything else leaves a gap.

Most contractors are running one of three setups — and each one leaves money or time on the table. We built the one that doesn't.

The all-in-one platform
Covers a lot of the job, but brings no real accounting or payroll of its own — and the price climbs as you grow.
The specialist tools
Sharp at estimating or the field, but it's a stack of add-ons, and the back office stays thin.
The enterprise ERP
Powerful — and a 12–18 month rollout, priced and built for outfits ten times your size.
Throughline
One system, one price — plus a Digital Transformation consultant who fits it to your workflows and automates the busywork. Sized for a real contractor.
Enterprise horsepower, at a number that pencils.
See it on your jobs

We'll run a real job start to finish — from the bid to the paid invoice — and show you where the money's hiding.
