Logistics software creates shared value.

So why does one team often carry the full cost?

On busy construction projects, logistics software supports far more than one internal team. It helps coordinate deliveries, reduce clashes, improve visibility, and keep subcontractors, suppliers, and site teams aligned.

But when multiple stakeholders benefit from the platform, the commercial structure often lags behind. The result is that one party is left carrying the full software cost, even when the value is shared across the project.

This white paper breaks down practical cost recovery models that can help contractors approach logistics software costs more strategically and with greater confidence.

Audit-Ready Transparency

Learn how to document agreements in advance to avoid tenant or subcontractor disputes.

Frequently asked questions

Is it actually "fair" to charge subcontractors or tenants for software?

Yes, because unlike internal accounting tools, logistics software is a "Shared Party Benefit" platform. It reduces clashes, provides visibility, and streamlines work for the users as much as it does for the manager.

How do we avoid disputes over costs?

The key is documenting the recovery values and terms in contracts or building rules upfront. Transparency in the "why" and "how" of the allocation model eliminates most friction.

Who is this white paper for?

This guide is for general contractors, project executives, superintendents, commercial managers, and construction operations leaders looking for a clearer way to justify and recover the cost of logistics software.

What will I learn from this white paper?

You’ll learn practical cost recovery models for construction logistics software, including when proportional, fixed-fee, usage-based, or tiered approaches may be the best fit.

Why does cost recovery matter for logistics software?

Because logistics software often delivers value across multiple stakeholders on a project, not just the team that purchases it. A clear recovery model can help align cost with benefit and support wider adoption.

Is this only relevant for large or complex projects?

It is especially useful for larger, more complex projects with multiple subcontractors and suppliers, but the principles can also apply to smaller projects where software supports shared coordination.
