The journey

How it works

A clear journey, from creating the file to receiving your commission.

  1. Step 01

    Create the project file

    Define the milestones and deposits, then send the digital file to your client for approval. Only you can see the commissions you have set.

  2. Step 02

    Secure the payment

    Your client approves the file and funds their dedicated account directly from their CashSentinel workspace; you are notified.

  3. Step 03

    Approve each step

    Project stages and progress statements are approved by the parties in the portal.

  4. Step 04

    Release the funds

    Once the work has been approved: tradespeople and contractors are paid, your commissions are released.
