Built for IBEW/NECA signatory contractors

Your foremen are doing payroll math in the field.
They shouldn't be.

Tentrie automates CBA hour classification on every daily field ticket — overtime modes, shift differentials, meal penalties, subsistence — calculated at point of entry, not in the back office.

The Problem

CBA compliance is a black box between the field and payroll.

Every signatory contractor has the same silent tax — hours flow in as rough times and raw totals, and someone downstream has to translate them into the specific rules of the local agreement. It happens in the dark, and it happens slowly.

17+
CBA pay parameters
Overtime tiers, shift differentials, subsistence, show-up pay, meal penalties, rest period violations, conditions premiums — all varying by local agreement.
3–5hrs/wk
Wasted in the back office
Staff manually re-classifying hours from handwritten tickets or clunky apps that don't understand CBA rules.

Existing tools built for this
Foundation, Sage, Viewpoint, ExakTime — none classify CBA hours at point of entry on a foreman's mobile device.
The Solution

CBA classification happens where the work happens.

STEP 01

Foreman opens a daily field ticket.

One ticket per day. Set job segments, crew, and schedule on a mobile interface built for gloved hands — 56dp tap targets, calculator-style time pickers, no tiny dropdowns.

STEP 02

CBA rules fire automatically.

As times, classifications, and conditions are entered, the engine pre-calculates every hour: ST, OT, DT, shift differentials, meal penalties, subsistence — all per your local agreement.

Features

Purpose-built for signatory contractors.

Config-driven CBA engine
One engine supports multiple IBEW locals. Overtime tiers, shift rules, and premiums are JSON configuration — not hardcoded logic.
Built for the field
Offline-first PWA. Calculator-style time pickers. Auto-created crew and equipment presets after the first ticket.
Every parameter, every local
Straight-to-2x overtime. Tiered 1.5x/2x. Conditions premiums like high time and hot stick. Subsistence and show-up pay. All handled.
ERP-ready output
Pre-classified hours export directly to Foundation, Sage, Viewpoint, or Penta. No manual re-entry. No back-office reclassification.
Multi-job daily tickets
One ticket per foreman per day — multiple job segments nested inside. Lunch at ticket level, conditions at job level. Mirrors real field workflow.
Compliance built in
Meal penalty tracking, rest period violations, LM&E document generation. Never miss a rule, never face a grievance over a classification error.
The picture
"A tool a foreman is proud to pull out in front of a client or utility inspector.

Tentrie doesn't look like enterprise software. It looks like an instrument — rugged, quiet, considered. Every pixel is earning its place in the hands of someone running a line crew.
