Built on site, not in an office

Hub was not designed in a meeting room. It came out of a construction company whose day-to-day would not hold together on paper slips and spreadsheets — and every feature was added only after it was actually needed on site.

Where this started

Raslak is a construction company in the Helsinki region of Finland. Before Hub, hours were collected from text messages at the end of the month, quotes were typed three times over, and invoicing slipped because the information lived in four different places. We tried off-the-shelf systems. They were made for offices: ten menus, a training day, and a worker who never logged his hours because it was too hard to do on a phone with gloves on.

So we built our own. Not because it was easy, but because nothing else worked the way the work is actually done. Hub was built hands-on, in the middle of a live site, and you can see it in what is there — and in what is not.

What is in it: the things you use all day

Hub only contains features that someone at our company uses every day. There is no roadmap of things that look good in a demo and then sit unused.

A time clock on the phone. One big button: Start day, End day. Hours go straight to the job. "On my way" tells the client you are coming.
Quotes from the site. Lines, quantities, VAT, PDF to the client. The client accepts from a link, and an accepted quote becomes an invoice without retyping.
Invoices that get paid. Reference number, bank barcode, a reminder when the due date passes.
Extra work under control. The worker logs it, you price it, the client approves it on their phone. No more "where did this line come from".
Photos before, during, after. Attached to the job, not lost in the phone's photo gallery. The client sees them in the portal.
Checklists and safety rounds. The same lists people fill in on paper — now on a phone, and the result stays on record.
Material prices from seven suppliers. One search, the cheapest shows, the line moves into a quote or a shopping list.
A client portal. The client sees progress, photos and invoices, and approves hours. The phone rings less.

What is not in it

There is no menu hiding another menu. No report nobody reads. No "module" you have to buy separately for a basic thing to work. No implementation project: an account takes a minute, and a worker learns the time clock the first time they use it, without anyone showing them.

If a feature does not get used by us, it gets removed. That is the only way to keep a tool that people still use in February sleet, not just in an August demo.

The words people use on site

Hub does not talk about resources, entities or processes. It has jobs, hours, quotes, invoices and materials — the same words used in the van on the way to site. When the software speaks the user's language, it does not need training.

The same goes for Rax, the built-in assistant: you tell it "make a quote from yesterday's photos" or "invoice the Merikulma painting job", and it does it with the same data you are looking at. There is more on that in AI-native — not bolted onto an old ERP.

Who this is for

Hub is for service businesses whose work happens at the customer's premises: builders, renovators, maintenance firms, cleaning companies, installers, and anyone with jobs, hours and invoices. A one-person business runs on it, and a ten-person crew stays organised with it.

Pricing is plain: 69 euros a month includes the main user, each additional user is 22 euros, and the trial is 14 days. No setup fee, no annual contract. If it does not fit, you stop.

No setup fee, no commitment. Field staff learn it on a phone in minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hub only for construction?

No. It was born in a construction company, but jobs, hours, quotes and invoices are the same for a cleaning company, a maintenance firm or an installation business. Trade-specific parts, such as safety rounds, are only there if you need them.

How fast does a worker learn it?

The time clock is learned the first time: one button in the morning, one in the evening. Other functions open up as they are needed. There is no training day.

Do we need a consultant to get started?

No. The account is created online, you add jobs and people yourself, and the first hour is logged the same day.

What if a feature is missing?

Tell us. Hub is still developed from our own site's needs, and user requests go into the same queue. A feature is added once it is genuinely used.
