Labour. Equipment.
Materials. Services.
Billed the way producers require.
Kadefire is built for industrial contractors — electrical, mechanical, instrumentation, insulation, civil, and specialty trades working on plants, facilities, and producer sites. Crews capture LEMS in the field, supervisors approve it on the work order, and the same signed data flows straight through to the invoice and the general ledger. T&M and contract price jobs are both first-class.
Energy producers already require LEMS. Kadefire runs it end to end.
Owners and energy producers expect contractor cost to arrive broken out into labour, equipment, materials, and services — signed in the field, tied to a work order, and supportable line by line. Kadefire is built around that requirement instead of bolting it onto an accounting package: every field ticket is LEMS-coded at entry, so the work order, the invoice, and the books all read the same numbers.
Labour
Straight, overtime, and double time by classification, with per-diem and subsistence — priced off the rate schedule in the producer's contract.
Equipment
Company units and third-party rentals logged by hour or day against the work order, with utilization by project and crew.
Materials
Issued from inventory, off the truck, or received against a purchase order — matched line by line to the supplier invoice.
Services
Third-party and specialty services captured as billable line items with bid, PO, and charge-out pricing.
The producer receives the same LEMS breakdown their contract asks for, backed by the signed field tickets behind every line — no re-keying, no spreadsheet rebuild.

Industrial contractors rarely run one type of job. Kadefire models each contract as a first-class project: T&M work bills from signed LEMS tickets, contract-price work bills from the schedule of values, and hybrid jobs keep the two separated by work order so nothing leaks across the invoice.
Time & Material (T&M)
Every labour hour, equipment day, material line, and service ticket is costed and billed at agreed rates. Producers get the transparent LEMS backup they expect.
Contract Price / Fixed Price
Set up a lump-sum or unit-price contract, track internal cost against the bid, and bill progress against the schedule of values with retention and holdback.
Hybrid & Master Agreements
Run cost-plus and fixed-price work under the same project. Compare bid vs actual in real time and turn approved field data into progress claims or invoices.
Cost, billing, and margin stay tied to the contract type — so project managers see exactly where each job stands without rebuilding reports from spreadsheets.

Because the accounting grew out of the LEMS field data, the full job-to-invoice-to-books loop ties out by design — one source of truth from the plant site to the ledger.
Rate-Tiered Time Tickets
Straight, overtime, double time, and per-diem — rate schedules that match your contract with the producer.
Equipment & Rentals
Company equipment and third-party rentals tracked by day or hour, with utilization by project and crew.
PR → PO → Supplier
Requisition, purchase order, and supplier invoice matched line by line with variance flags.
Inventory Management
Stock across warehouses, trucks, and job sites, with FIFO, LIFO, or average costing and barcode/UPC scanning.
T&M & Contract Price
Cost-plus, contract price, master agreement, or hybrid — every contract type modelled as a first-class citizen.
Bid vs Actual
On contract price jobs, live internal margin against your bid plus progress and change-order billing.
Field-First Mobile
Crews enter LEMS tickets from remote plant sites with spotty signal — sync when they get back online.
Built-In Accounting
GL, AR, AP, journals, bank rec, and financial statements layered on signed field data — no re-keying.
Canadian Tax, Handled
GST, HST, and provincial PST configured per project and customer — every invoice tax-clean before it leaves.
Producer & Sub Workspace
Producers, GCs, and their subcontractors work the same jobs, work orders, and tickets with role-based access.
Full Audit Trail
Every ticket, mapping, rate change, and posting logged with actor, timestamp, and one-click rollback.
LEMS Cost Coding
Labour, equipment, materials, and services coded at entry so project cost and billing never drift apart.
