Construction retention software so you actually get the last 5% back
Retention is money you've already earned, held back until the job's signed off and the defects period is up. On commercial work it's often 5% split in two, and it's the money most likely to be forgotten, because the release date is months after you've moved on.
CrewFlow tracks every retention held against every job and the date it's due for release, so you claim what's yours instead of writing it off.
- Retention held tracked against each job and contract
- Release dates visible so nothing is forgotten
- See total retention outstanding across the business
- Aged debt alongside it, so you know who owes what, when
Forgotten retention is pure profit left on the table
The last slice of retention is released long after the job's done, when everyone's focus has moved to the next three jobs. With no system watching the release dates, it quietly never gets claimed, and because it's money already earned, every forgotten retention is straight off the bottom line. CrewFlow keeps it in view until it's paid.
Every retention, held against its job
When a job carries retention, CrewFlow records what's held and against which contract, so the amount you're owed but haven't been paid is never invisible. No separate spreadsheet of held sums that no one updates.
Release dates you can actually act on
Each retention carries the date it's due for release, so the money becomes claimable on your radar instead of slipping past unnoticed months later. You chase it while the relationship and the paperwork are still fresh.
The whole picture: retention plus aged debt
See total retention outstanding across the business next to your aged debt, so the full picture of money owed, both the overdue invoices and the retention still to come, sits in one place rather than scattered across jobs.
Every retention tracked to its release date, not forgotten.

Common questions
What does CrewFlow track for retention?
The retention held against each job and contract and the date it's due for release, so you can see exactly what you're owed and when it becomes claimable.
Why does retention get lost without this?
Because the release date lands months after the job's finished, when attention has moved on. Tracked against the job with its release date, it stays visible until it's paid instead of quietly being written off.
Can I see all my retention at once?
Yes. CrewFlow shows total retention outstanding across the business alongside aged debt, so the whole picture of money owed is in one place.
