Earlytrade and BuildingPoint form strategic partnership

handshake

Earlytrade has entered into a strategic preferred partnership with BuildingPoint Australia to expand access to progress claims and structured early payment solutions throughout the construction sector in Australia and New Zealand.

From January 2026, BuildingPoint Australia—the exclusive distributor of Trimble’s Buildings Construction portfolio—will introduce Earlytrade as its preferred partner for progress claims and early payment solutions. The initiative is designed to support head contractors seeking tighter margin control, stronger working capital performance, and greater stability across their supply chains.

Earlytrade’s platform integrates with leading construction ERP systems, including Trimble Jobpac and Vista, while remaining compatible with other major ERP platforms. This integration allows contractors to implement structured early payment programs without disrupting existing payment processes or sacrificing control of their capital.

Under the model, contractors can offer optional, head contractor–funded early payments to subcontractors. Unlike traditional invoice factoring or supply chain finance arrangements, Earlytrade’s approach enables contractors to deploy their own capital through an automated and structured framework aimed at improving margin predictability and reducing financial variability across projects.

Guy Saxelby, CEO and Co-founder of Earlytrade, said construction businesses are facing mounting pressure from rising costs and tightening margins. He noted that the partnership provides contractors with a disciplined mechanism to reinforce their supply chains while generating predictable returns from capital already held on their balance sheets.

Industry-wide challenges—such as declining returns on idle cash and manual early payment administration—have made margin stability increasingly difficult. Earlytrade addresses these issues through automated eligibility controls and approval workflows that allow early payment programs to scale with embedded oversight and risk management.

Andrew Farley, General Manager of BuildingPoint Australia, said the company works closely with contractors focused on performance, operational visibility, and financial control. He explained that the partnership introduces a practical working capital solution that supports subcontractors while strengthening financial outcomes for head contractors. He added that Earlytrade’s seamless integration with Trimble ERP solutions makes the partnership strategically compelling.

The agreement forms part of Earlytrade’s broader strategy to expand its construction finance presence in Australia while deepening relationships across the region’s contractor network. Head contractors can request a demonstration via Earlytrade’s website.
