Set delivery standards across sites and suppliers. Give managers oversight of progress, changes and evidence, with a clear basis for customer reporting and commercial approval.
About FortyFive
Built by people who run field delivery.
A field service business answers for the work it delivers. It also has to pay its partners and get paid by its customers. We built FortyFive to help it manage both.
Own the outcome
The customer holds you responsible.
The work may pass through several businesses before an engineer arrives on site. Your commitment to the customer stays with you. You need to set the standard, know whether the work meets it and deal with anything that changes.
FortyFive gives the business managing delivery a way to carry those requirements through its teams and supply chain. Managers can follow progress, review evidence and account for the decisions behind the completed job.
Move the money
Finishing the job should move payment forward.
When an invoice is waiting for a report, a sign-off or an explanation of extra work, someone has to go back and find it. The customer needs to know what they are paying for. The business or engineer who did the work needs the record accepted.
FortyFive keeps the agreed work, changes and completion evidence together, giving both sides a common basis for approval and payment.
We are building FortyFive | Pay on that operational record: connecting payment to accepted work, with factoring planned to help engineers receive funds sooner and businesses manage their payment terms. Factoring will be introduced through finance partners first, subject to eligibility and terms.
Where the value leaks
The five costs of unproven work.
Between work done and work paid there is a gap. When the record of delivery is incomplete or disconnected, that gap shows up as five recurring costs. The first four are operational. The fifth is financial.
Operational costs
The revisit that could have been avoided
A return trip because an acceptance check was missed or the record was incomplete, not because the work was wrong. It adds travel, labour and another slot in the schedule.
The rework nobody can attribute
A later fault raises questions about what was tested on site. Without a record made at the time, responsibility is argued rather than assessed.
The invoice that has to be reconstructed
The work order allowed four hours; the invoice shows six. The extra work may have been agreed, but the approval is hard to find, so billing becomes a negotiation.
The payment waiting for a decision
The work is done and owed, but acceptance is incomplete. A valid invoice waits for review while wages and costs still fall due.
Financial cost
The cost of carrying the gap
Even on a perfect job, money is tied up between done and paid: working capital, the financing to bridge the wait and the margin given up to it. Each of the other four adds days to this gap.
FortyFive tackles the first four by keeping the record and the work together: requirements set before the job, evidence captured on site, changes approved in context and acceptance connected to the invoice. The fifth is where a reliable delivery history can, over time, support working-capital services.
Payment services depend on the arrangements agreed for your business. Factoring and extended payment terms are planned, initially through finance partners and subject to eligibility and terms.
Built by operators
We have been responsible for delivery ourselves.
Our team has managed field service delivery, worked with engineers and answered to customers. We have dealt with jobs that change on site, reports that need checking and invoices waiting for evidence.
That experience shapes what we build: tools that help a manager see where to act, a partner understand what is expected and an engineer record the work without having to explain it all again later.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
What is FortyFive?
FortyFive is a platform for field services. It helps the business accountable to the customer manage delivery across its teams and partners, capture evidence of the work on site and connect accepted work to invoicing and payment.
Who is FortyFive for?
Businesses that manage field work, such as telecoms operators, systems integrators, managed service providers and specialist contractors, and the engineers and delivery partners who carry it out.
What kind of field work does it support?
Work in connectivity and telecoms: installations, surveys, maintenance, break-fix, upgrades and decommissioning, at sites ranging from data centres and exchanges to offices, shops and street infrastructure.
Do we need to integrate it with our existing systems?
No. FortyFive runs standalone from the first job. You can start with one project or delivery team and connect ticketing and finance systems later if you need to.
Does FortyFive provide finance or factoring?
Not yet. Factoring and extended payment terms are planned, initially through finance partners and subject to eligibility and terms. A clear delivery record can inform that assessment; it does not remove credit risk or guarantee finance.
Can other customers see our data?
No. Each customer's data is kept separate from every other customer's. Businesses that compete with each other can use FortyFive without seeing each other's jobs, rates or records.
