One County Changed a Wage Rate. $73,000 Penalty. Never Again.

The ERP built after a real Davis-Bacon disaster. 276 hours/month saved. Live in under 3 months. No consultants. No IT team.

“A contractor hired my team to build better back-office software. His office manager had run certified payroll flawlessly for 11 years—until one county quietly updated its prevailing wage rate mid-project. She missed it. $73,000 Davis-Bacon penalty. The software she trusted didn't flag it. So I built one that would.”

Critical Issues

A $73K Penalty Exposed 3 Fatal Gaps in Every Contractor's Back Office

When a contractor hired our engineering team to build better software, they uncovered the same three problems destroying margins at every union shop.

Maria - Controller

11 Years Perfect. One County Rate Change. $73,000 Gone.

An office manager ran certified payroll flawlessly for 11 years. Then one county quietly updated its prevailing wage rate mid-project. She missed it. $73,000 Davis-Bacon penalty. With 200+ new DOL enforcement officers, every certified payroll you sign is a liability waiting to detonate.

Every time I sign that certified payroll, I'm signing under penalty of perjury. One county rate I miss could cost us everything.
— Office Manager, Union HVAC Contractor

Mike - Owner

$60K Setup Fees. 6-12 Months of Chaos. Zero Guarantees.

Traditional ERP implementations bleed you dry: $60K+ setup fees, armies of consultants, months of lost productivity—and at the end, you still need to customize it for union payroll. ProForge launched in under 3 months. No consultants. No IT team required.

Sophie - Payroll Manager

276 Hours a Month Burned on Manual Payroll. Every Month.

Multi-rate prevailing wages, fringe benefits across different locals, overtime on top of overtime—all tracked in fragile spreadsheets where one wrong formula can cascade into $73K disasters. That's 276 hours your team will never get back.

The Solution

Finally: An ERP That Understands Union HVAC Contracting

Built by a software engineer who watched a contractor's $73K penalty happen in real time. Not by a company that thinks “union payroll” is just a feature checkbox.

The 3 Secrets to Painless Union ERP

Why ProForge works when every other system has failed your business

Secret #1

Breaks Vehicle Belief

Live in Under 3 Months—Not 6-12

Other ERPs take 6-12 months and $60K in setup fees. ProForge gets you live in under 3 months. No consultants. No IT team. We built it specifically for union contractors—prevailing wages by county, fringe calculations, certified payroll—all pre-configured from day one.

Under 3 mo vs. 6-12 mo

No consultants, no IT team, no $60K setup fees

Secret #2

Breaks Internal Belief

276 Hours/Month of Manual Payroll—Eliminated

You've been told union payroll is 'too complex to automate.' That's a lie sold by consultants who charge $300/hour to fix what software should prevent. ProForge handles prevailing wages by county, union fringe calculations, Davis-Bacon rates, and multi-jurisdiction overtime automatically. One contractor recovered $12,400/month in labor costs.

$12,400/mo recovered

Office manager went from 14-hour Mondays to normal hours

Secret #3

Breaks External Belief

The Real Reason ERPs Fail (And How We Fixed It)

ERPs don't fail because of 'user adoption' or 'training issues.' They fail because they're built by software companies who've never seen a certified payroll. ProForge was built by a software engineer after watching a contractor eat a $73K penalty—because their office manager missed one county rate change in 11 years. We know exactly where the landmines are buried.

The Story Behind ProForge

The Office Manager

11-Year Payroll Veteran

Their office manager ran certified payroll flawlessly for 11 years. Then one county quietly updated its prevailing wage rate mid-project. She missed it—$73K penalty. After ProForge, she went from 14-hour Mondays to normal working hours. The system catches every rate change she used to track manually.

The Owner Who Hired Us

HVAC Contractor

He hired our engineering team after watching $60K disappear into an ERP that took 8 months and still couldn’t handle prevailing wages by county. ProForge launched in under 3 months. No consultants. No IT team. 276 hours/month saved from day one.

The Payroll Team

Before & After ProForge

Before ProForge: spreadsheets everywhere, manual rate lookups across counties, fringe calculation errors, 14-hour Mondays. After ProForge: $12,400/month in labor costs recovered, 3 Davis-Bacon audits passed with zero findings, and the team finally trusts the numbers.

Results based on the first contractor who used ProForge in production. Individual results may vary based on company size, project volume, and payroll complexity. Time and cost savings calculated from documented pre/post implementation analysis.

The Story That Built ProForge

A contractor hired our engineering team to build better back-office software. His office manager had run certified payroll flawlessly for 11 years—until one county quietly updated its prevailing wage rate mid-project. She missed it. $73,000 Davis-Bacon penalty.

Ian didn't just patch the problem. He built an ERP from scratch—certified payroll, prevailing wages by county, union fringe calculations, AIA billing, job costing—all in one system. No consultants. No IT team. No $60K setup fees.

The results: 276 hours/month saved. $12,400/month in labor costs recovered. Their office manager went from 14-hour Mondays to normal working hours. 3 Davis-Bacon audits passed with zero findings.

That contractor's system became ProForge. Live in under 3 months. $400-$700/month. The same system. Your turn.
