Construction finance gaps

Connect billing, cost, VAT, retention, and cash flow in one system

Construction finance becomes difficult when IPC, subcontractor certificates, vendor bills, retention, VAT invoices, and project budgets are managed in disconnected spreadsheets.

Progress claims and IPC calculations are prepared manually outside the ERP

Retention, advance recovery, deductions, and variation billing are difficult to reconcile

Client billing is not clearly connected with certified progress and BOQ value

Vendor bills and subcontractor bills are posted without real-time margin visibility

Cash flow reports do not show project-wise receivables, payables, retention, and pending claims

VAT invoices, credit notes, and payment status are not tied back to project profitability
