THE ONLY PLATFORM BUILT FOR PLANT COMMERCIAL RECORDS

Your accountant sees what happened.
PAI shows you what's happening.

Standard accounting packages, fleet trackers and spreadsheets all miss the same thing — the operating P&L per machine, in real time.

P&L per machine, every month

Fuel, operator, finance and maintenance costs entered once. Dashboard shows margin per machine per month.

Price with your own rate book

Your rates, your machines. AI job pricing uses your own cost records — not national averages.

Payroll, CIS and invoices in one place

PAYE wages, CIS at 20%/30%, invoice generation. Everything feeding the same ledger.

Built for plant hire, quarrying and demolition

Rate book covers 1T micro to 100T quarry class, dozers, ADTs, mobile and crawler cranes, crushers and HGV tippers.

WHY PAI

Five reasons plant businesses switch.

Profit per machine, every month

Not a company total at year end. The operating margin of every single machine, this month, from your own figures. See which ones earn and which ones bleed.

The office you don’t have

Costings, quotes, invoices, payroll, CIS and RCT — the back-office work a plant business runs on, handled in one place. No bookkeeper, no office staff, no night-time paperwork.

Double the machines for your money

We've just doubled every plan's fleet size at the same price. Starter now covers 15 machines, Growth 30, Professional 60, Business 120. Many tools limit you by machine count or charge to add more — our plans give you generous fleet sizes at a flat price.

AI that prices from your numbers

Ask it to price a muck shift or a crane lift and it uses your own rate book and costs — not national averages. It writes the quote and the invoice for you, as a PDF.

Tax worked out for you

Ask the assistant to work out VAT, PAYE, CIS or RCT on any figure — gross to net, net to gross, deductions and what is due. No spreadsheets, no second-guessing the rates.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions.

PAI is a commercial ledger for plant hire, quarrying, demolition and earthworks businesses. You enter your machine costs — fuel, operator, finance, maintenance — and your hire income or job earnings. PAI calculates the operating profit per machine, per month. The AI assistant prices jobs using your own rate book and cost records.
Yes. PAI is built for both UK and Republic of Ireland plant hire, quarrying, demolition and muck shifting businesses. CIS rules apply to UK operations only. Irish businesses use all modules without the CIS elements. EUR pricing is supported.
You set up a PayPal subscription at signup, but nothing is charged for 7 days. If you do not cancel before day 7, the first month is then billed and you are charged for the first month. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.
For self-drive plant hire, the machine element is not subject to CIS — only the labour element is. PAI correctly applies this rule and tracks the 19th-month payment deadline automatically. CIS at 20% for verified subcontractors, 30% for unverified.
Excavators 1T micro to 100T quarry class, CAT D3–D11 dozers, loading shovels, ADTs and rigid dump trucks, jaw crushers, cone crushers, VSI, trommels and screeners, HGV tippers (6-wheel, 8-wheel, artic). Rates shown daily, weekly, operated and bare hire.
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade any time from within the platform. Changes take effect at the next billing date. No penalty for changing plan. Email paibusiness@outlook.com if you need help.
Take what the machine earned that month — hire income or its share of job revenue — and subtract everything it cost you: fuel, operator wages, finance or HP payment, maintenance and insurance. What is left is that machine's operating profit. Most plant hire businesses never do this per machine, only across the whole company, which hides the machines running at a loss. PAI calculates it automatically from the cost records you enter, every month, for every machine.
Across the UK and Ireland, inert muck away within 10 miles typically runs £18–32 per m³ all in. The figure moves with three things: haulage distance, tip cost by waste classification (inert £80–150 per load, non-hazardous £120–200, hazardous £250–600), and your own machine and wagon costs. Remember the bulk factor — 1 m³ solid in the ground becomes roughly 1.3 m³ loose in the truck. PAI prices it from your own figures and tells you the cost per load and per m³.
A 20 tonne excavator typically hires at £480 per day operated or around £300 per day bare across the UK and Ireland, with weekly rates near £2,100. But the right rate for your business depends on what that specific machine costs you to run — finance, fuel, operator and maintenance. PAI holds a full rate book from 1 tonne micro excavators to 100 tonne quarry class, and compares your own rates against it so you can see whether you are underpricing.
No, and it is not meant to. Accounting packages like Xero and QuickBooks give you the whole-company financial picture and handle your statutory filing. PAI works alongside them at machine level — showing which machines are earning, which are costing you, and what the next job should be priced at, from your own figures. Most PAI users run both, with PAI giving their accountant cleaner records to work from.
Yes. The rate book covers mobile cranes from 20 tonne city cranes to 300 tonne heavy lift, plus crawler cranes, tower cranes, spider cranes and lorry loaders. The AI assistant knows the difference between CPA contract plant hire and a contract lift, and flags the costs people forget — mobilisation and demobilisation, counterweight transport, rigging time, the Appointed Person, slingers, lifting gear and ground mats.
