Accounting software for construction and contracting businesses in India

Cement, TMT bars, tiles and electrical fittings move from the central godown to three or four sites, get part-returned, get borrowed by another project, and the register is a paper book in someone's bag. By the time you reconcile at project close, the shortfall is already a loss you cannot recover from the client, and you have no evidence of where it went.

Preparing a running account bill means chasing measurement sheets, checking what was billed last time, calculating retention and mobilisation advance recovery, and then re-typing it all into an invoice format. Every delay pushes your payment cycle further out while suppliers still expect their money on 30 days.

You are dealing with different rates on works contracts versus material supply, reverse charge on some services, GSTIN validation for every client and vendor, and input tax credit that is blocked on certain construction inputs. Miss a purchase invoice in your books and you lose the credit; miss a sales entry and your GSTR-1 does not match your GSTR-3B.

Labour payments, material issues, hired machinery, transport, site expenses and subcontractor bills all land in different files at different times. Owners commonly discover a project lost money months after handover, when there is nothing left to correct — and no way to price the next tender better.

Track every material by item, batch and location — central store, Site A, Site B — with issue notes, transfers between sites and returns recorded on a phone at the gate. Stock moves as goods move, so you see remaining quantity and value per site at any moment and can spot shrinkage in the same week it happens, not at project close.

Raise a GST-compliant tax invoice in minutes with your GSTIN, the client's GSTIN, HSN/SAC codes and the correct rate applied. Recurring templates handle repeat RA bills, and everything posts straight to accounting, so your receivables ageing shows exactly who owes you and how long that retention has been sitting.

Photograph a cement challan, a diesel bill or a hardware shop invoice and Tallium AI reads the vendor, amount and tax, categorises it and files it against the right project. Your site staff can capture bills from the field the day they happen, which means fewer missing purchase entries and a far cleaner input tax credit position at return time.

Issue POs to suppliers, match deliveries against them, and see committed spend before the bill arrives. Cost and profitability reports plus AI insights show material consumption trends, vendor price drift and which jobs are eating margin, giving you a real number to build your next quote on.
