What you'll do day to day
A running bill, measured on site
Signed in as a staff member, open /invoices/new. Pick the Works contract template: length x breadth x height on each line, a rate per cubic metre, titled Running Account Bill.
Site and work order on every bill
Signed in as the owner, open /invoices. Open a Sudarshan Constructions bill: the site and the work order number print in the Site & order block.
Bill the estimate in tranches
Signed in as the owner, open /invoices. An accepted estimate billed by percentage; the remaining balance shows and an over-bill is refused.
Paid net of the client's TDS
Signed in as the accountant, open /invoices. A developer bill and its receipt with the TDS the client withheld recorded on it: cash in is net, the bill is paid at gross.
Sub-contractor TDS, ready for the challan
Signed in as the accountant, open /tds. Civil and MEP sub-contractor bills booked with TDS deducted, waiting for the quarter's challan.
Material ordered and received at the site
Signed in as a staff member, open /procurement. A cement purchase order received at the Whitefield site store, matched to the supplier's bill.
Every site and what is billed against it
Signed in as the owner, open /projects. Five live sites, one per work order, each with its client and status.
The site diary
Signed in as a staff member, open /visits. Site visits logged against each project, with the engineer's own notes and voice notes synced later.
Hand the year to the CA
Signed in as the owner, open /reports/hand-to-ca. One pack for the CA: trial balance, GST, the TDS deducted and the TDS suffered.
A Bengaluru works contractor that bills what was measured and knows what each client still holds
Before: Running bills typed in a spreadsheet, receipts short by TDS that nobody reconciled, and cement bought for one site found at another.
With Finocket: Running bills on the Works contract template with site and work order, receipts recorded net of 194C, and every purchase order received at the site store it was bought for.
