Sub profiles that keep you compliant
Names, contact details, work history, and payment records together — with workers-comp expiry reminders so a lapsed certificate never surprises you.
Arken Books runs in Spanish, bills in polished English, and turns every job into clean books automatically. Deposits, progress draws, change orders — the way real jobs actually run.
The back office a two-person shop actually needs — deep where it counts, simple everywhere else.
Names, contact details, work history, and payment records together — with workers-comp expiry reminders so a lapsed certificate never surprises you.
Approved proposals lock — version-stamped, timestamped, uneditable. Every dollar after that is traceable, from deposit to final balance.
Approved job values flow in from DripJobs, so you see real profit per job — not vibes, numbers.
Tag every expense to its project. At year end — or when the lender calls — your records are already organized.
Profit-and-loss statements a bank will actually accept — generated from the books you're already keeping.
Your data always lands in a spreadsheet you own. No lock-in, no “export it yourself” homework.
One scheduling action emails the client, you, and every assigned sub at once. Works on email addresses alone — nobody needs the app, nobody needs a login.
Arken Books is the first release from Arken Labs — and it doesn't work alone. Each tool feeds the next, so the numbers flow from the estimate to the crew to the books.
The crew app — schedules, time tracking, and team growth in your people's pocket. Books' scheduling actions tag straight into the crew's day.
Estimating calculators for every trade — decks, exteriors, interiors. Measure once, price with confidence, send the numbers to Books.
The software company behind it all — tools built by a contractor, for contractors.
