Jonas Construction API
Jonas Construction is construction ERP software used by contractors and service companies to run accounting, job cost, service dispatch/work orders, payroll/time, inventory, equipment, and project management. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull customers and sites, servic
What is Jonas Construction?
Jonas Construction is an integrated construction management and service ERP for contractors. Teams use Jonas to manage accounting and job cost, dispatch technicians, handle work orders and service contracts, track inventory and equipment, run payroll and HR, and oversee project financials and WIP reporting.
Core product areas include:
- Service Management (e.g., call taking, dispatch board, work orders, PM schedules, service agreements)
- Job Cost & Financials (e.g., budgets, cost codes, progress billing, AP/AR, GL, WIP)
- Field Operations (e.g., eMobile time entry, labor/material capture, equipment history)
- Inventory & Equipment (e.g., items, stock levels, parts issues/returns, asset tracking)
- Payroll & HR (e.g., timesheets, pay rules, overtime, certifications)
- Document Management (e.g., attachments, photos, work order documents)
Common data entities:
- Companies (customers), Contacts, and Site Locations
- Service Work Orders (statuses, priorities, scheduled windows)
- Technicians, Crews, Schedules, Timesheets
- Jobs/Projects, Cost Codes, Budgets
- Inventory Items, Material Lines, Equipment Assets
- Service Contracts/Agreements and Preventive Maintenance tasks
- Invoices, AP Bills, Purchase Orders
The Jonas Construction Integration Challenge
Contractors rely on Jonas daily, but turning portal-based workflows into API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Module-specific interfaces: Service Management, Job Cost, Inventory, and Payroll each have distinct workflows and entitlements
- Enterprise security: SSO/MFA and strict role-based controls complicate headless automation
- Deployment variability: Cloud-hosted and on-prem environments introduce network/session differences
- Portal-first features: Dispatch boards, time capture, and billing screens are optimized for human interaction
- Financial rigor: Cost codes, approvals, and auditability must be respected programmatically

Authentication
/sessions/refreshRefresh an existing token to keep sessions uninterrupted.
Customers
/customersList customers with filters and summary details.
Service Work Orders
/service-work-ordersCreate a new service work order with scheduling and assignment details.
Service Work Orders
/service-work-orders/{workOrderId}Update status, scheduled window, or technician assignments.
Timesheets
/technicians/{technicianId}/timesheetsCreate a timesheet entry against a work order and cost code.
Invoices
/service-work-orders/{workOrderId}/invoicesCreate a service invoice from approved labor and materials.
Use Cases
Customer & Site Sync
- Mirror customers, site locations, and contacts into your internal systems - Keep addresses, service agreements, and equipment metadata current for routing and planning - Enrich CRM records with Jonas account identifiers for unified reporting
Work Order Lifecycle Automation
- Create work orders from your product (web, mobile, IoT alerts) with priorities and SLAs - Update statuses, scheduled windows, and technician assignments programmatically - Attach photos/documents and record labor/materials from the field
Dispatch & Scheduling Integration
