Pricing & cost

Pricing ModelQuote-only custom subscription model based on contractor size (annual construction volume and foreman count) and selected modules (Procurement, Warehouse Materials, Accounts Payable, Prefab, Tool Tracking, Finance). Subscription plans include unlimited users and unlimited data. ↗

Typical CostPricing is non-public and provided exclusively through custom quotes. Subscriptions scale according to contractor revenue and chosen modules. Third-party software database Itqlick estimates a starting price of $100 per user/month, though Kojo's official pricing page specifies an unlimited user structure. ↗

Api Or Integration FeesAPI and EDI integrations with accounting, ERP, and project management systems (such as Procore, QuickBooks, and Sage) are offered within customized subscription plans. Separate standalone API fee schedules are not publicly disclosed. ↗

Implementation CostImplementation and training are included in the subscription price. Onboarding is tailored per contractor and generally ranges from a few days to three weeks depending on the complexity of the integrated ERP system, with no hidden implementation fees. ↗

API & data access

Has ApiNo public API available ↗

Data Export OptionsKojo supports data export and import features through file-based options and pre-built system syncs. Users can import and export Bills of Materials (BOM) and requisitions via CSV files, transmit catalog and price list files via CSV or TXT format, download raw EDI transaction log files from the Kojo Vendor Integration Portal, and automatically sync purchase order and invoice data directly into connected ERP/accounting platforms. ↗

Native AI features

Ai Features SummaryKojo's native AI capabilities focus specifically on materials procurement, inventory optimization, and accounts payable automation for trade contractors. Key shipped features include the Kojo Intelligence Layer (GA September 2023), powered by OpenAI's GPT-4 and Hugging Face transformer models to analyze purchasing history and vendor availability; AI-powered Automated Invoice Matching in Kojo AP (GA March 2023); and an AI-powered procurement suite (GA April 2025) offering multi-supplier pricing comparison, material cost/availability forecasting, and automated purchasing recommendations. ↗

Ai DispatchKojo does not offer native AI-powered dispatching, field labor routing, or job scheduling features. Its product scope is strictly dedicated to materials management, purchasing, tool tracking, and AP operations. ↗

Ai FinanceKojo provides native AI-powered Accounts Payable (AP) automation via Automated Invoice Matching within Kojo AP (shipped GA in March 2023). It uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and machine learning algorithms to ingest PDF invoices, extract line items, perform automated three-way matching against purchase orders and field/warehouse delivery receipts, flag pricing or quantity discrepancies, and auto-sync data to accounting systems. Kojo does not offer Accounts Receivable (AR) automation. ↗

Ai Assistant Or McpKojo does not offer a native conversational AI assistant/copilot, AI call handling/CSR agent, AI estimating solution, or an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. While Kojo leadership published thought leadership blogs in late 2023 discussing conceptual procurement co-pilots, no standalone assistant interface or MCP server has been shipped or announced as a native product feature. ↗

Integrations & ecosystem

Accounting IntegrationsKojo integrates directly and natively with major construction accounting and ERP systems, including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, Sage Intacct, FOUNDATION, Acumatica, CMiC, Deltek ComputerEase, eCMS, Access COINS Evo, Viewpoint Spectrum, and Viewpoint Vista. For field and project management (PM), Kojo natively integrates with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud (BIM 360 / Autodesk Build). These field-to-accounting integrations are native direct integrations built and maintained by Kojo, automatically syncing purchase orders, 3-way matched invoices, commitments, and job cost data across systems without requiring third-party middleware. ↗

MarketplaceKojo does not maintain an open public app marketplace or developer partner directory for third-party apps to build onto its platform. It maintains a directory of native software/supplier integrations and industry association partners (such as NECA, ABC, and CFMA) on its website. Additionally, Kojo operates as a listed partner app on third-party marketplaces, including the Procore App Marketplace, Sage Intacct Marketplace, and Trimble App Marketplace. ↗

Unified Api SupportAgave, a construction-specific unified API platform, explicitly supports integration with Kojo to sync project and procurement data with backend ERPs. Merge.dev does not currently list or support Kojo in its unified API directory. ↗

Accounting fit & implementation

Certified PayrollNot supported natively or via a Kojo add-on. Kojo is strictly a materials procurement, inventory, and accounts payable platform; payroll and prevailing wage/Davis-Bacon compliance must be managed in the contractor's integrated ERP or accounting software. ↗

Accounting MethodSupports accrual accounting workflows by generating purchase orders, receiving logs, and 3-way matched invoices that sync committed costs directly into the contractor's general ledger/ERP. ↗

Wip Poc SupportNot calculated natively in Kojo. Kojo supplies real-time job cost and commitment data to connected construction accounting/ERP systems (e.g., Sage, Viewpoint, Access COINS), where WIP schedules and percentage-of-completion calculations are maintained. ↗

Implementation TimeTypically takes 1 to 3 months (or several weeks depending on contractor size and ERP integration complexity). ↗

Requires ImplementerNo. Onboarding and implementation are provided directly by Kojo's internal Customer Success and onboarding staff rather than requiring a third-party paid implementer or Value-Added Reseller (VAR). ↗

Adoption & market position

Market PositionKojo (formerly Agora) is a leading specialized materials procurement and inventory management SaaS platform for U.S. trade contractors (including electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and roofing) and self-perform general contractors. ↗

Customer ScaleServes over 500 major trade contractors and has powered nearly 50,000 construction projects across North America, processing over $3 billion annually in materials order volume. ↗

MomentumStrongly growing modern SaaS platform rather than a legacy system; raised over $93 million in total funding (including a $39M Series C led by Battery Ventures at a $275M valuation and a $10M Series C extension in late 2025) while expanding feature sets to cover tool tracking, invoice matching, and prefabrication. ↗
