Fit-out contractor systems integration
FIT-OUT CONTRACTORS

Tellum is a systems integrator
for fit-out contractors.
Business systems — not another project tool.

Your projects, packages, client changes and cash live in different places — and someone has to stitch them together every week.

We join what you already run into one live picture.
Nothing gets replaced.

WHAT WE CONNECT

The systems your fit-out business already runs on.

If it's on this list, we've connected it before. If it isn't, we probably still have — .

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You're not unusual. This is what running a contractor at this stage looks like.

WHAT WE DO

Wherever you are with your systems, there's a version of this for you.

Most clients start in the middle. Some start with training and never need the rest.

THE PART THAT'S OURS

Tools get you level. The layer gets you ahead.

Choosing, connecting and training put the right tools in place — the same tools your competitor can buy. The Tellum Operating Layer is ours: it sits on top of what you run and bends to how you work. A new metric lands in days, a new workflow in a week or two. Nothing gets replaced.

WHAT YOU GET

One live picture. Three things on it.

Margin live, on a ten-week clock.

Every project, cost-to-date against budget, prelims burn against programme, and the change register — instructed, priced, agreed — updated as it moves. On programmes this short, month-end is too late.

Fit-out contractor
SmallSageSmartsheetSpreadsheets

About to buy an ERP they'd have spent a year fighting.

Sage 50, a dozen spreadsheets and a WhatsApp group.

Design-and-build fit-out contractor
Mid-sizeNetSuiteSpreadsheets

Project controls lived in an eight-tab workbook next to the ERP.

BEFORE

NetSuite for finance, Excel for procurement, cost-to-complete, prelims and the change register.

AFTER

One portal on top of NetSuite — cost-to-complete and prelims burn per project, changes captured the day they're instructed, finance stays in NetSuite.

Retail roll-out specialist
PE-backedProcoreSage IntacctSpreadsheets

Forty sites a year for the same clients — and no two reported the same way.

BEFORE

Each roll-out programme tracked in its own workbook, margins known site by site, months later.

AFTER

One layer: margin per site and per programme, cost against the client's budget template, programme compliance across every live store.

Small works and day-two team
SmallQuickBooksHubSpotSpreadsheets

Nobody could see surveys turning into quotes and quotes turning into work.

BEFORE

Money in QuickBooks, pipeline in HubSpot, the works schedule in a spreadsheet.

AFTER

One weekly picture: repeat-client pipeline, quote conversion, team utilisation, cash by client.

Fit-out contractor
Mid-sizeProcorePlanRadarADP

Practical completion kept slipping on snags nobody could count.

BEFORE

Snags in one tool, O&M documents in folders, the handover date managed by optimism.

AFTER

One board: snags raised and closed by package, O&M readiness, handover risk per project — with safety and workforce reporting alongside.

Fit-out group
PE-backedSage IntacctLegacy field toolsSpreadsheets

Three acquisitions, three ways of running a project, entities that didn't line up.

BEFORE

Consolidating P&L by studio and division took most of the month.

AFTER

A consolidation layer on Intacct — common project structure, month-end across all entities in days.

Want to see the layer itself? Same numbers, three front-ends — inside NetSuite, as a modern portal, as Power Apps.

A note from Ivan

You're probably here the way most of our clients arrive — a colleague passed our name on, or you got a note from me. Either way, good to meet you. If the page doesn't answer your question, ask me directly — I read every reply myself.
