“Can an AI copilot own the purchasing, invoicing, and job-cost workflow for construction subcontractors?”
Punch (Punch Software Inc., buildwithpunch.com) is a vertical AI SaaS product for construction subcontractors and self-perform general contractors, founded by ex-construction operators. It focuses on automating purchasing administration — PO generation, supplier communication, invoice matching, subcontract commitments, expense capture, and daily reports — with an AI agent that meets users in web, email, and mobile. It is a workflow / accounting-adjacent SaaS product, not a fintech; there is no evidence of embedded banking, cards, payments acquiring, or lending.
