Frequently asked questions
- Who should pick Powered Now over Valegrid Flow?
- A small domestic trade business — plumber, electrician, decorator — living on quotes, certificates and consumer invoices. That's what Powered Now is built for, and it does it well.
- Who should pick Valegrid Flow over Powered Now?
- A subcontractor or contractor running labour under CIS on commercial sites. Valegrid Flow calculates CIS payroll from approved timesheets, tracks HAVS, produces RAMS and generates valuations and reverse-charge-correct invoices — the commercial site stack rather than the domestic one.
- Does Powered Now handle CIS deductions and valuations?
- Powered Now is invoice-led and aimed at domestic trade work rather than CIS labour payrolls and payment applications. Valegrid Flow treats CIS deductions, applications and valuations as core features, not add-ons.
- Can I move from Powered Now to Valegrid Flow?
- Yes — most firms start by running one pay week in Valegrid Flow in parallel. Workers clock in on their phones, you approve the timesheets, and payroll, HAVS and a valuation come out the other end. From £19 per active worker per month.
