Set Your System Up

Set up the foundation inside Contractor Foreman
so your workflows run clean from the start.


Why This Matters

Your system is only as strong as how it’s set up.
If your structure isn’t clear from the beginning, it can lead to:
  • Disorganized contacts and team data
  • Confusion around roles, permissions, and responsibilities
  • Inaccurate job costing and reporting
  • Scheduling conflicts and missed details
Getting your systems set up correctly keeps your team aligned, your data clean, and your operations running smoothly.

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of this session, you will know how to:
  • Set up and organize your Directory (employees, customers, vendors, leads, contractors)
  • Import and manage contacts efficiently using CSV uploads
  • Build out employee profiles with pay rates, certifications, time-off, and documents
  • Track certifications and stay ahead of expirations
  • Sync time-off with your calendar to avoid scheduling conflicts
  • Create roles, assign permissions, and control user access
  • Set up cost codes so your financials and job costing are structured correctly
This is about building a system that reflects how your company actually runs.


What to Expect

This is a hands-on session focused on setting up the core systems inside Contractor Foreman.
We’ll walk through how to structure your people, permissions, and cost data so everything connects properly behind the scenes.

This is not just setup for the sake of setup—you’ll understand how these decisions impact your day-to-day operations moving forward.


Who This Is For

  • Contractors setting up Contractor Foreman for the first time
  • Admins responsible for system structure and data organization
  • Teams looking to clean up or standardize their current setup
If your system feels messy, inconsistent, or not fully built out, this session will help you get it dialed in.
