Miter

What makes Miter different

Miter is purpose-built for the construction industry, not a generic enterprise platform. Unlike horizontal HR and payroll suites that force contractors into one-size-fits-all workflows, Miter integrates field operations, certified payroll, and back-office functions in a single system. This eliminates manual data handoffs between time tracking, payroll, and accounting—a critical pain point for construction crews managing prevailing wage compliance, union requirements, and job costing in parallel.

The platform consolidates field teams (who need mobile time entry and daily reports) with administrative teams (who need certified payroll and integration with accounting systems like Sage, Acumatica, and NetSuite). This design reflects construction’s unique operational rhythm: workers in the field, complex compliance rules per state and union, and tight project margins that demand real-time job costing visibility.

Pricing model

Miter uses a subscription model tailored to company size and feature selection. The platform bundles core modules—payroll, HRIS, field operations, expense management—with pricing tiers that scale with user count and feature adoption. No per-transaction or usage-based charges are published on their site; instead, pricing is quote-based after a demo request.

The approach contrasts with traditional enterprise payroll (ADP, Workday) which often charge separately for each module, and with generic HR platforms that lack construction-specific capabilities like certified payroll, prevailing wage tracking, and integrated field reporting.

When it fits

• Construction contractors (GCs, specialty trades) managing 50–5,000+ employees across multiple job sites with union or prevailing wage requirements.
• Teams currently juggling 4–5 disparate tools (separate time tracking, payroll, accounting, and HR systems) and losing data consistency and admin bandwidth.
• Companies with field-heavy operations that need mobile-first time entry, daily production reports, and real-time data flowing back to payroll and accounting.
• Prevailing wage and certified payroll workflows where compliance risk is high and manual reconciliation is common.
• Organizations seeking single-vendor integration with accounting platforms (NetSuite, Sage, Acumatica) and recruitment/HR tools (BambooHR, Procore).

When it doesn’t

• Micro-contractors or sole proprietors without significant back-office staff; overhead and training costs may not justify a consolidated platform.
• Non-construction industries (tech, finance, healthcare) where industry-specific features add no value and simpler, horizontal HR platforms suffice.
