Built for painting contractors

Paint by the job, bought from wherever had stock. One record for all of it.

A painting contractor buys paint and material for each job separately, often from whichever supplier is closest to that site, and a bill picked up mid-job is easy to lose. Photograph it there and then, or type a labour advance — Senni keeps every supplier's balance current and every advance netted against pay.

The site reality

A different supplier for nearly every job.

Painting work moves from site to site, and so does the buying — paint from whichever shop is nearest that job, on whatever credit terms that shop offers, with no single supplier relationship to fall back on for the whole picture.

Did I already pay for this paint delivery, or is this fresh?

A purchase bill that matches one already filed is flagged before it's paid twice.

How much did I actually spend on material for this job?

Every purchase bill entered and totalled per job, not estimated afterward.

Did I already pay my painters an advance this week?

Every advance is set against pay automatically.

My accountant wants the month, and the purchase bills are scattered across paint cans and pockets.

Every original is kept and handed over already sorted.

How it fits the work

Nothing that slows down a job site.

Whatever you already do — photograph, or send a message — is the entire input.

You settle up with your team
