Company profile
researched Aug 2026Knowify provides cloud-based construction and service management software aimed at trade contractors and subcontractors, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting, remodeling, concrete and excavating firms. The platform combines customer/vendor CRM, estimating, proposals and e-signable contracts, subcontracts, project budgets and phase planning, scheduling, time tracking, change orders, daily logs, document and photo storage, purchasing, invoicing, payment processing and reporting. It supports fixed-price, cost-plus/time-and-materials and AIA contract types, with progress billing, job costing and real-time work-in-progress reporting.
Alongside long-duration contract work, Knowify offers a Service Pro add-on for service departments with real-time dispatching, equipment history, automated appointment reminders, inventory management and payment processing, plus a Live Equipment Tracking add-on using OBD or wired GPS trackers and the FleetSharp telematics platform, optional AI dashcams and tool tracking. Field crews use iOS and Android apps for clocking in and out, viewing schedules and assigned tasks, uploading photos and recording expenses; the Android app has more than 10,000 downloads. The company positions its QuickBooks integration as central to the product, syncing with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Payroll, QuickBooks Payments and Intuit Enterprise Suite. A more recent AI Connector lets users query business data such as job margins, billing, labor and collections from tools including Claude and ChatGPT.
Founding story
Daniel de Roulet Jr. co-founded Knowify in 2012 with the goal of helping small businesses, and specifically small and medium construction companies, adopt technology, arguing that construction businesses are complex while most construction workers dislike administrative desk work. Co-founder Marc Visent, previously a product manager at Patrina, a compliant archiving software vendor for financial services, turned his attention to construction with de Roulet in 2012. Visent trained as a computer engineer at Universitat Ramon Llull in Barcelona, took a law degree at Universitat de Barcelona and later earned an MBA at NYU Stern after moving to New York.

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history
Market position
Operates in the construction software segment, positioned between basic tools and large ERP systems, and markets itself on the depth of its QuickBooks integration for the trades. Third-party data lists similar companies as Aconex, Buildertrend and Autodesk Construction.
Built specifically for trade contractors and subcontractors rather than general contractors or homebuilders, and designed from the outset to complement QuickBooks Online by combining operational tools with financial functions — job costing, AIA and progress billing, WIP reporting — that competing trade-focused products often omit or price for larger businesses. Support and onboarding are delivered by a U.S.-based team, with one-on-one onboarding sessions included by plan tier.
Technology
Cloud web application with iOS and Android field apps and real-time sync. Reported technology stack includes Ruby, Handlebars, Bootstrap, C3.js, Cloudflare, Segment and Shopify. The product features bi-directional QuickBooks Online, Payroll, Payments and Intuit Enterprise Suite integrations, geofenced mobile time clocking, drag-and-drop scheduling with map-based crew check-ins, e-signature workflows, a reporting dashboard with an advanced report builder, GPS/telematics hardware via FleetSharp, and an AI Connector exposing project, billing, labor and collections data to assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT.
Go-to-market
Self-serve trial and demo-led sales from the company website, with a 14-day free trial, published entry pricing from $99/month and booked personalized walkthroughs. Channel and ecosystem motions include the Intuit/QuickBooks relationship and partner council seat, integrations and co-marketing with partners such as CompanyCam, busybusy and AIA Contract Documents, plus content marketing (job costing guides, customer case studies, The Cost Codes Show video series).
Small and mid-sized trade contractors and subcontractors — electricians, plumbers, HVAC, painters, remodelers, concrete and excavating firms — that run both long-term contract projects and short service jobs; general contractors also use the product, though it is designed for the trades.
Geography
Headquartered in New York City, with addresses listed at 76 Bowery Unit 7, New York, NY and 45 Broadway. Customers are trade contractors across the United States and beyond; a third-party profile reports employees across North America, Europe and Asia.
History
Founded in 2012 and based in New York City. In January 2022 the company exhibited alongside QuickBooks at an industry event, and in April 2022 CEO Marc Visent was appointed to Intuit's nine-member U.S. Partner Council. In 2023 Knowify integrated with CompanyCam (March), launched Workflows for standardizing project processes (May), and announced a partnership with ACD Operations LLC (AIA Contract Documents) to deliver official G702 and G703 payment application forms in-platform (August). In 2025 the company was named to the Inc. 5000 list at No. 1,696 on 258% three-year growth. It has since added an AI Connector linking Knowify data to external AI assistants.
