What is Miter?
Miter's November digest takes job photos, material costs and safety records into the field
Miter ships one large digest every month or two, organized by module. The November update is field-heavy: Photos 2.0 in the mobile app with markup and map pins, material logs that post costs to the job and Project Intelligence budgets, job templates, and public safety profiles for contractor prequalification. Payroll adds a missed-deductions report and Spend adds virtual Miter cards.
What is Workyard?
Workyard's Reporting Agent builds any report from live crew data, matched to your format.
Workyard now has a Reporting Agent. Upload a report you already send, or describe one in a sentence, and it rebuilds it from time cards, jobs, cost codes, forms, PTO and pay periods, ready to rerun for any job, crew or date range. It's web-only and included in Autopilot and Enterprise plans at no extra cost. It follows a fall of payroll-configuration work: custom overtime rules, bulk time approval and accounting IDs everywhere.

Miter's November digest takes job photos, material costs and safety records into the field
◆ Current state
Miter ships one large digest every month or two, organized by module. The November update is field-heavy: Photos 2.0 in the mobile app with markup and map pins, material logs that post costs to the job and Project Intelligence budgets, job templates, and public safety profiles for contractor prequalification. Payroll adds a missed-deductions report and Spend adds virtual Miter cards.
◆ Where it's heading
After the summer's Accounts Payable module and API 2.0, and October's Project Intelligence budgets, Miter is tying field activity back to job costing. Material logs feeding budgets and activity-driven GL coding both point toward Miter as the system of record for job cost, not only payroll.
◆ Prediction
Expect more field data sources to post into job costing and Project Intelligence, since November connects materials and activities to the GL.

◆ Current state
Workyard now has a Reporting Agent. Upload a report you already send, or describe one in a sentence, and it rebuilds it from time cards, jobs, cost codes, forms, PTO and pay periods, ready to rerun for any job, crew or date range. It's web-only and included in Autopilot and Enterprise plans at no extra cost. It follows a fall of payroll-configuration work: custom overtime rules, bulk time approval and accounting IDs everywhere.
◆ Where it's heading
Workyard is moving from time capture toward running the back office for construction contractors. Time Assistant, event-driven Smart Forms and now an agent for reporting show AI being placed at the admin steps that eat the most hours. Bundling it into existing tiers suggests agents are meant to make the top plans more valuable rather than become a new line item.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Reporting Agent to gain scheduled delivery or mobile access, and agent-style features to extend into payroll or expense reconciliation.
