What is Docketbook?
New to the platform? This quick guide tells you what we're about...
Welcome to Docketbook
Docketbook is the digital backbone of the Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) process for construction and heavy industries. We help contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers replace manual, error-prone processes—like paper dockets, SMS job instructions, and emailed invoices—with a structured, real-time, mobile-first workflow.
Our platform is designed to improve visibility, reduce disputes, and accelerate payments, creating smoother collaboration between the businesses that build the world.
The Purpose of Docketbook
At its core, Docketbook enables verified, real-time exchanges of data across the job lifecycle—from placing an order, to doing the work, to getting paid. We’re not just digitising paperwork—we’re removing commercial friction and ensuring every party has the information they need to trust the process and focus on delivering value.
Orders
Orders are how work gets formally defined and initiated. In Docketbook, an order captures:
-
The scope of work or materials
-
Agreed rates and quantities
-
Tracking info for progress monitoring
With digital orders, everyone involved starts on the same page, with rate transparency and clear expectations.
Jobs
Jobs are individual assignments or deliveries linked to an order. They allow businesses to:
-
Allocate work to field teams
-
Communicate instructions
-
Track job status in real time
Field users access job details via the mobile app, enabling simple scheduling and accurate data capture from site.
Dockets
Dockets record the work completed—think of them as digital proof of delivery or service. Each docket includes:
-
Date, time, and location
-
Quantities and work performed
-
Client sign-off (onsite or remote)
Dockets are submitted instantly and securely, eliminating lost paperwork and reducing admin follow-ups. With Docketbook, a signed docket is a verified record that gets paid.
Invoices
Docketbook lets you generate invoices directly from approved dockets and orders, with:
-
Auto-populated details (rates, quantities, signatures)
-
Zero manual data entry
-
Integration to accounting platforms like Xero and MYOB
This makes your business easier to pay, shortens time to cash, and removes the risk of errors or disputes.
