What is Miter?
Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.
Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.
What is Workyard?
Workyard builds an AI-powered operations layer for construction crews: Time Assistant, geofence-triggered forms, and Shortcuts
Workyard is a construction workforce management platform that has deployed an AI Time Assistant for correcting timecards via natural language — now available to both admins and managers — and expanded integrations to Acumatica, Sage 100 Contractor, and QuickBooks Online (including time off). Smart Forms gained geofence and task triggers that fire automatically as crew members arrive on site. The Shortcuts feature lets foremen clock entire crews with one tap.

Miter
3.8HR
Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.
◆ Current state
Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.
◆ Where it's heading
The module list keeps growing outward from payroll into everything a contractor's back office touches, and the last two releases added the two things a platform needs that a payroll product does not: a spend module of its own and an open, unmetered API. Vote counts published against each feature show the roadmap is being run off customer demand, and the compliance work is concentrated where construction is most exposed — break rules, OSHA, prevailing rate calculations.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Spend module to keep filling out around Accounts Payable, and third-party integrations built on API 2.0 to start appearing in the Ecosystem section of the next digest.

Workyard builds an AI-powered operations layer for construction crews: Time Assistant, geofence-triggered forms, and Shortcuts
◆ Current state
Workyard is a construction workforce management platform that has deployed an AI Time Assistant for correcting timecards via natural language — now available to both admins and managers — and expanded integrations to Acumatica, Sage 100 Contractor, and QuickBooks Online (including time off). Smart Forms gained geofence and task triggers that fire automatically as crew members arrive on site. The Shortcuts feature lets foremen clock entire crews with one tap.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is converging on eliminating manual data entry for field operations: the AI Time Assistant handles timecard cleanup, geofence-triggered forms handle compliance, Shortcuts handles crew clock-in, and integration exports handle payroll data transfer. Each new integration (Acumatica, Sage 100, QuickBooks) adds a payroll system that field hours can flow into without re-keying.
◆ Prediction
The Time Assistant will likely gain predictive capabilities — flagging anomalous time entries before payroll runs, not just correcting them after the fact. Expect more ERP integrations targeting mid-market construction companies.
