About Clad

Clad is billing and project management software for utility construction. The world is rebuilding its internet and power networks. The utilities, internet companies, and contractors tasked with this work face immense pressure to deliver. But their tools haven’t caught up. Contractors struggle to grow, constrained by cashflow. Operators fly blind, lacking real time visibility into issues. Clad unifies project operations and finance to automate project tracking, payments, and permitting. With Clad, contractors grow faster and improve their margins. Operators execute smoothly. And everyone can focus on what’s most important - building.
