Payapps wins global recognition for construction software and customer impact

Published

A Gold Stevie and three SaaS Awards highlight Payapps’ role in helping contractors simplify progress claim submission, assessment and approval.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Australian-founded Payapps – An Autodesk Company has received four major international award wins across the 2026 Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence and 2026 SaaS Awards, recognising its construction software, market adoption and measurable customer impact across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Payapps won a Gold Stevie® Award for Company of the Year – Construction & Civil Engineering Technology, alongside three SaaS Awards:

Best SaaS Product for Construction or Property ManagementBest SaaS Solution for Finance & FinTechBest SaaS Product for Workflow Automation

Payapps provides purpose-built progress claim software that helps main contractors and subcontractors standardise the submission, assessment and approval of progress claims, together with associated compliance and commercial workflows. The platform replaces fragmented spreadsheet and email-based processes with shared digital workflows and integrates with construction ERP and financial systems.

Recognition backed by adoption and customer impact

The award submissions represented Payapps’ two operating markets — Australia and New Zealand, and the United Kingdom and Ireland — and drew on customer evidence from across both regions.

Payapps now supports more than 57,000 users, with more than AUD $35 billion in progress claims managed through the platform annually. In Australia, Payapps is used by 34 of the country’s Top 50 builders.

“Over the last 10+ years, we’ve worked closely with the construction industry, keeping a clear focus on progress claims and listening closely to our customers. We’ve seen how managing progress claims through disjointed spreadsheets and emails adds avoidable risk to what is already a time-bound commercial process. When that process breaks down, the effects can flow through to cash flow and project delivery,” said Misty Cronin, Head of Sales, Australia & New Zealand at Payapps.

“That’s why this recognition matters. It validates the importance of making progress claim workflows more consistent and easier to manage, while also reflecting years of work from a team committed to standardising and simplifying this critical construction process.”

Payapps customer success stories demonstrate how those improvements can translate into day-to-day construction operations. Buildcorp has used Payapps to standardise payment claim submission and improve visibility across its projects, while Sarah Constructions replaced fragmented spreadsheets with a single workflow spanning progress claims, compliance and Early Payment requests.

Early Payment enables eligible subcontractors to request earlier payment on approved claims within the existing Payapps workflow, while main contractors retain governance, visibility and commercial control.

Progress claim workflows at the centre of the recognition

The three SaaS Awards recognise Payapps across construction and property management, finance and FinTech, and workflow automation — different dimensions of the commercial processes surrounding construction progress claims.

Annabelle Whittall, COO of The Cloud Awards, said: “The SaaS Awards recognize products that solve genuine industry challenges while delivering measurable value for their users, and Payapps stands out as an exceptional example.”

The Gold Stevie broadens that recognition to the company level, with Payapps named Company of the Year in the Construction & Civil Engineering Technology category.

Together, the awards provide independent recognition of an Australian-founded construction technology business that has grown across two international markets and is now part of Autodesk, while remaining focused on a specific industry challenge: making progress claim submission, assessment, approval and compliance simpler and more consistent.

About Payapps

Payapps, an Autodesk Company, is an award-winning cloud-based collaboration platform for the construction industry. It helps main contractors and subcontractors simplify and standardise progress claim submission, assessment and approval, including variations, retentions and compliance documentation.

By digitising these workflows, Payapps improves transparency, accuracy and collaboration while reducing administrative burden and financial risk.

WUHU, China, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As AI becomes part of everyday family life, how will it transform the homes of the future? The 2026 OMODA & JAECOO International User Summit, co-presented by CHERY, OMODA|JAECOO, ICAUR, Lepas and AiMOGA, took place in Wuhu from October 19 to 24 under the theme “DRIVE TO THE NEXT VIBE.” During the summit, AiMOGA Robotics officially launched Mobo—its consumer-grade humanoid robot for home companionship—and opened global pre-orders. The launch took embodied AI into the home, extending proven automotive-grade technologies and supply-chain capabilities beyond vehicle manufacturing to a broader ecosystem of intelligent living.

Meet Mobo: A Thoughtful, Expressive and Caring Companion. A key highlight of the summit, Mobo makes its global debut with pre-orders opening worldwide. Having previously appeared at the World Robot Conference and the World Manufacturing Convention, it has already drawn strong interest. Powered by AiMOGA’s proprietary MoAgent AI brain, Mobo goes beyond rigid single-command responses: it independently breaks down complex instructions and plans long-horizon tasks, turning Q&A into goal-driven assistance. Designed for family life, it combines spatial perception with multimodal interaction—autonomous navigation, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and voice-plus-vision conversation that identifies objects and makes companionship feel natural. With a full-body motion system of 22 degrees of freedom, it delivers smooth movements and dance routines, remembers each family member’s habits and preferences, and builds in privacy protection from the outset—a companion blending advanced technology with warmth and care.

Bringing Automotive Expertise to Robotics. Unlike start-ups building from scratch, AiMOGA draws on the extensive automotive engineering experience and global R&D network of CHERY and its brands—OMODA|JAECOO, ICAUR and Lepas—adapting proven technologies, including high-precision environmental perception and automotive-specific large AI models, for robotics. During the summit, its full robot portfolio will appear in zones recreating real-world applications: police robots patrolling mock traffic settings, healthcare robots guiding visitors, Mornine acting as an AI presenter, the Argos Pro quadruped demonstrating following and load carrying, and Mobo offering hands-on demonstrations as pre-orders open. AiMOGA already operates robots across more than 100 use cases—from dealerships and retail to traffic management, security, education and healthcare—with cumulative deliveries exceeding 3,000 units across more than 60 countries and regions.

Beyond Automotive Manufacturing. As these brands move from vehicles into robotics, they extend accumulated R&D, supply-chain and manufacturing expertise to wider intelligent applications; automotive–robotics integration provides the industrial foundation, while the MoAgent brain supports understanding, planning and execution. Guided by the philosophy “In Somewhere, For Somewhere, Be Somewhere,” CHERY, OMODA|JAECOO, ICAUR, Lepas and AiMOGA are bringing intelligent technology into everyday life and delivering meaningful support to people worldwide.
