01 · MARGIN
Sage does the admin work.
The same work a $70k coordinator would do — without the headcount. Sage drafts COs, fills timesheets, surfaces budget burn, and answers questions in plain English with citations. Per-user permissions: it never sees what you can’t.
02 · ONE DATABASE
Your business and your jobs in one database.
Estimates, budgets, schedules, dailies, COs, invoices — and overhead, equipment, consumables, business-level margin. The project surfaces and the business surfaces live in the same record. No exports, no re-keying, no separate accounting tool to reconcile on Sunday nights. The line item you priced on Monday is the line item you bill on Friday — and the equipment you used on Wednesday is already in the cost.
03 · PRICING
Pay for your office, not your crew.
$129/user/month on Pro — for the PM, the estimator, the bookkeeper. Field workers, subs, and clients are free, unlimited. The crew is part of the product, not a billing surface. (Plus: native on iOS, Android, macOS, Apple Watch, and CarPlay — your truck speakers, your wrist, your phone.)
04 · BUILT BY A CONTRACTOR
Built on real jobs, not in a deck.
Tenon was built by Joe Meadows, who runs Meadowlark Construction. Every workflow exists because a foreman or PM asked for it on a real site. No VC playbook, no growth-team detours — just software that gets out of the way.
