Nova knows your business is unique, so it gives you every financial tool a contractor needs out of the box, then lets you build on top.
You’re not starting from zero. You’re starting from Nova.
Your financial data stays in your ERP. That’s still your system of record. Nova connects to it, so the numbers flow in automatically: your projects, costs, AR, AP, all live and current. On top of that data, Nova already gives you the standard tools every contractor needs — WIP, cash flow, project costing, AR, AP, forecasting, billing — working out of the box.
Nova Builds puts the power in your hands: tell Nova what you want to create, and voilà, you have reports, dashboards, and AI agents that fit how your business runs. No code, no integration project, no blank page — because the hard part is already done.
Software’s been built backwards for 40 years
Someone else decides how your business should work, with technology that is difficult to make your own. No two contractors run their projects the same way, but the software treats you like they do. Nova does the opposite. It adapts to you.
Custom tools like Power BI are expensive, time-consuming, and frustrating for the entire team. Nova eliminates these headaches. If you have an idea, Nova can bring it to life.
You don’t know what you need until you see it
A blank page is intimidating and a rigid tool is frustrating. So Nova puts control back in your hands. Describe what you want — a report, a dashboard, an AI agent that watches something for you — and Nova builds a working first version. Then you react: move this, add that, drop the rest. No code, no consultant. Revising is easy. That’s how good tools actually get made.
Build AI agents that know your numbers
This is the part general AI can’t touch. Build an agent that flags margin fade the week it starts, or surfaces the invoices worth getting paid on early, or drafts your owner update from what happened on site. Because it lives in Nova, the agent already knows your projects, your AR, and your forecasts — so it’s useful from the first version, not after months of setup.
Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain language and Nova builds it.
What can I build?
Reports, dashboards, and AI agents — all on your own connected data.
My financial data stays in my ERP, right?
Yes. Your ERP is the system of record; Nova connects to it, and the numbers flow in automatically.
How is this different from building my own tools with ChatGPT or Claude?
General AI only sees what you paste into it — a snapshot with no context. What you build in Nova lives on your connected data (your projects, AR, and forecasts), so it’s useful from the first version and stays current, with nothing to upload.
Can my whole team use what I build?
Yes. What you build is part of Nova and follows the same role-based access as everything else, so the right people can use it.
