Built for UK construction
ScopeShift is the only VO management platform designed specifically for the UK market. Here's what that means in practice.
CIS & VAT
Automated CIS deduction calculations (0%, 20%, 30%) and full VAT support including Reverse Charge VAT handling — mandatory in UK construction since March 2021.
JCT & NEC Contract Support
Foundation support for JCT and NEC contract types on projects. Set the contract framework at project level to align your VO workflows.
UK Data Residency
All data stored in the UK (London region) on encrypted servers. Full GDPR compliance with UK-specific data protection.
UK Construction Terminology
Variation orders, not change orders. Quantity surveyors, not estimators. The platform speaks your language.
ISO 27001 & GDPR
ISO 27001 aligned information security with 97% control coverage. Full GDPR compliance.
SME-Friendly Pricing
From £39/month — designed for UK SME contractors (£500K–£5M revenue), not American enterprise budgets.
Migrating from spreadsheets?
Most UK SME contractors track VOs in Excel. Here's what you gain by switching to ScopeShift — and it takes less than an hour to get started.
With Spreadsheets
- VOs get lost in email threads and shared drives
- No approval workflows — chase people manually
- No audit trail — disputes are he-said-she-said
- Manual CIS and VAT calculations prone to errors
- Site teams can't submit VOs from the field
- No real-time visibility for directors
- Version control chaos with multiple copies
With ScopeShift
- Every VO tracked from instruction to payment
- Automated multi-tier approval workflows
- Complete audit trail with timestamps and sign-offs
- Automated CIS deductions and full UK VAT support
- Mobile app for on-site VO capture with photos
- Real-time dashboard for directors and PMs
- Single source of truth — no version conflicts
Average setup time: under 1 hour. Import existing projects and start tracking VOs immediately.
