For marine and shoreline contractors

Run the whole business, from bid to books, in one place.

CoastPlanner brings estimating, projects, crews, payroll and accounting together, so the numbers from the job site flow straight into payroll and the ledger. Built with a working Washington shoreline contractor, with Washington taxes built in.

One system instead of five

Most contractors stitch together an estimating spreadsheet, a scheduling app, a payroll service and QuickBooks. CoastPlanner replaces the stitching.

Win the work

Go from a site visit to a signed estimate without retyping anything.

  • Contacts, leads and site visits
  • Bids with takeoff templates and material price history
  • Estimates your customers review and accept online

  • Fleet and equipment, documents and site plans

Schedule the crew

Know who is where, and capture time where the work happens.

  • Crew schedule and shared calendar
  • Clock in and out, with timecard review
  • Receipts snapped and filed by the crew

Pay your people

  • Form 941, W-2 and 1099-NEC preparation

Keep the books

Full double-entry accounting, not a bolt-on.

Get paid faster, without chasing checks

Send invoices and estimates from CoastPlanner. Customers accept estimates and pay invoices online through your own Stripe or PayPal account, and payments land in your books on their own.

  • Online estimate acceptance and invoice payment
  • A customer portal for questions and requests
  • Share project documents with a private link

Coming from QuickBooks? Bring your history with you.

Connect QuickBooks Online and CoastPlanner imports your accounts, customers, vendors and ledger history, then keeps syncing while you run both side by side. Switch over when your books tie out, not before.

  • Years of general ledger history, not just opening balances
  • Run in parallel until you are ready to cut over
  • Customers, vendors and open bills carried over

Your books, your crew, your access rules

The office manager, the foreman and the owner each see what they need, and nothing more.

Roles and permissions

Decide who can run payroll, see bank balances, approve bills or only clock in. Every user gets a role.

Two-step verification

Protect sign-ins with an authenticator app on top of the password.

Encrypted and backed up

Data is encrypted in transit, files are stored encrypted at rest, and the database is backed up automatically.
