PerYard tracks a calendar — it isn't a law firm and doesn't give legal advice.
Before any of the features
False beliefs
Two things nearly every producer believes about liens.Both of them cost money.
Belief
“Filing a lien means losing the customer.”
Preserving a right is not using it. A preliminary notice is routine paperwork across the trade — it is what a general contractor expects from a professional supplier, and its absence is what marks an amateur.
Belief
“I'll deal with it if the invoice goes bad.”
The clock starts when you deliver, not when they stop paying. An invoice that quietly ages to 90 days may have run out its notice window long before. Waiting until an account goes bad is waiting until the leverage has expired.
Bad debt is expensive
A write-off isn't lost revenue. It's lost margin — and margin has to be poured again.
You already know what you wrote off last year. Here is what it costs to earn back at your own margin.

Two clocks, one job
The clock starts at delivery.
Rights run on a schedule that begins when the concrete leaves the yard — not when an invoice goes quiet. The two tracks below are the same job, and the window closes before the alarm goes off.

What is actually running
Not another notice service
Why this and not a lien service.
Lien and notice services already exist and can be bought standalone. The difference is that the calendar populates itself from work you are already doing, and sits next to the money.
| A lien service | LienFlex | |
|---|---|---|
| Where job data comes from | You type it in | Your tickets, already there |
| What triggers a file | You remember to ask | Your own trigger point, every time |
| What it knows about the money | The invoice you gave it | What you poured, billed and collected |

LienFlex is one of three.
The Stack shows you the whole operation.JointPay changes what your supplier charges you.
The Stack
Every number your plant makes, in one place, every day.
Your accounting system knows what you spent. Your batch system knows what you poured. Your bank knows what landed. None of them talk, so the answer only exists after somebody spends a week building it by hand.

JointPay
Get priced like an operator your supplier is sure of.
Your suppliers give their best terms to the operators they're certain of getting paid. A plant your size normally can't offer that certainty, so it never gets offered those terms. JointPay is the arrangement that changes it.
