What’s Next at Linarc: Financial Flow & Field Speed

Building Momentum: Linarc’s February Release

In construction, we know that success isn't defined by the absence of challenges, but by the intelligence and agility we bring to solving them. Our work at Linarc is to ensure that your focus remains on the build, not the barrier.

This month’s release is a direct reflection of that mission and partnership, delivering major enhancements across your project financials, comms, documentation, and field operations. We’ve focused on unifying the critical flow of money, materials, and manpower because when your core processes are streamlined, your competitive edge sharpens.

Our new Finance Module automates the most complex part of your pay application process, turning contracts into cash flow with auditable precision. Concurrently, we’ve made critical field workflows, such as web-based timecard approval and document review, accessible and simple. Furthermore, import and export Primavera P6 schedules via XER with full WBS and critical date integrity, ensuring seamless migration and uninterrupted project continuity in Linarc.

These are not just feature upgrades; they are foundations for faster approvals, tighter cost control, and a more transparent project lifecycle from contract lock to invoice payment.

In technology and construction, progress demands we build smarter, not just harder. I invite you to explore how these releases will enhance your team's efficiency and drive a stronger, more predictable financial outcome on every project.

Here’s to another month of decisive action and building forward with confidence.

Warm regards,

Shanthi Rajan
Founder & CEO
