Constructing a Clearer Future
Sarah Forbes
Business Development Manager, Thrive Technologies
“Zudello is the Rolls Royce of automation. The range of products, data extraction, user interface and levels of professionalism and service are a cut above the rest. We recommend Zudello in every deal.”
Driving Change in a Stagnant Sector
Thrive Technologies is a specialist software consultancy focused exclusively on the Australian construction industry. With unmatched sector knowledge, Thrive helps builders, developers and contractors modernise finance operations and improve business performance.
At the heart of their approach is a trusted partnership with Zudello – a FinOps automation platform built to handle the unique challenges of construction.
“You couldn’t ask for a better partner than Zudello,” says Sarah Forbes, Business Development Manager at Thrive Technologies.
From Reactive Reporting to Real-Time Control
Despite growth across the sector, construction productivity has barely improved in two decades. Manual, disconnected systems continue to hold businesses back, creating delays, inaccuracies and uncertainty around financial performance.
“It's very common for a construction company not to know whether they made money on a job until eight weeks after it closed,” says Sarah.
“Zudello changes that – it gives teams daily visibility of where they stand.”
Zudello’s automation platform integrates with ERP systems and provides real-time, accurate updates to financial data. With tools like budget management and AP automation, Zudello empowers teams to track job costs live – not weeks after the fact.
The Factors that lead Thrive Technologies to Select Zudello
Construction projects involve a complex network of suppliers, contractors, budgets and approvals – and Thrive needed a platform that could keep up. Zudello was designed with these challenges in mind, offering a flexible and industry-relevant solution.
“Zudello’s FinOps automation product is ideal for the construction industry,” says Sarah.
“It helps teams manage cost control, budget oversight and approvals with ease – all tailored to the way this sector operates.”
Zudello’s Budget Management tool gives real-time oversight of what’s been spent, what’s committed and what remains – all in one place. It transforms retrospective reporting into proactive control.
“Zudello helps teams know where they stand – every day,” says Neville Woller, Zudello CEO.
“That clarity means issues can be picked up earlier and decisions made faster.”
Zudello integrates across a broad range of ERPs – and can even operate as a standalone platform – making it easy to implement across different business environments. A clean user interface and no-code workflow builder ensure that the platform is accessible to teams at every level.
“It works with any ERP system, and it’s so intuitive that teams actually enjoy using it,” says Sarah.
“The user interface and flexibility are well above what we see from other providers.”
Thrive credits Zudello’s customer service and responsiveness as a key reason they recommend it in every construction engagement.
“The Zudello team is incredibly professional and responsive,” says Sarah.
“They listen, they understand construction, and they act fast. It’s a true partnership.”
