Interior fit-out & joinery — India
Fit-out work lives and dies on the quote. You price a turnkey job from a client's drawings, buy plywood, laminate, hardware and glass across a dozen suppliers, run a joinery workshop, and then spend evenings trying to work out whether the site actually made money. Tallium AI puts quoting, purchase orders, workshop and site stock, and GST-ready accounting in one app — with unlimited users on every plan, so your estimator, site supervisor, storekeeper and accountant all work off the same numbers.

Key takeaways
A 60-line BOQ for a café fit-out gets priced in Excel, emailed as a PDF, then revised four times as the client changes the ceiling detail and the joinery finish. By revision five nobody is sure which version the client signed, which rates were used, or whether the labour loading survived the last copy-paste. When the site overspends, there is no clean baseline to compare against.
Plywood, MDF, laminates, edge banding, hinges, channels and adhesives move between the workshop and two or three live sites. A storekeeper issues a pallet to whoever shouts loudest. At month end you have GST invoices from suppliers, a workshop full of offcuts, and no reliable way to say what each project actually consumed versus what you quoted.
Fit-out contracts bill on mobilisation, slab-wise or milestone completion, often with 5–10% retention held until defect liability ends. Getting the tax invoice, the GSTIN of the client entity, the place of supply and the HSN/SAC codes right on every stage bill — and then reconciling those against GSTR-1 — turns into a monthly scramble your accountant handles days after the fact.
Between subcontracted false ceiling, hired labour, site expenses paid in cash, transport, and workshop time, the real cost of a project surfaces weeks after the client has moved in. By then the next three quotes have already gone out using the same optimistic rates that caused the loss in the first place.
Build BOQ-style quotations line by line — carcass, shutter, hardware, finish, labour, transport — from item and service rates you keep updated in one place. Each revision is versioned against the same enquiry, so you can see exactly what changed between R1 and R5 and what the client finally approved. Approved quotes convert straight into a project, purchase orders and stage invoices without retyping a single line.
Raise POs to your plywood, laminate and hardware suppliers directly from the approved quote, receive goods into the workshop or a site store, and issue material against a specific project. Because Tallium AI treats the workshop and each site store as its own location, you can see live stock of 18mm ply or a particular laminate code by location and stop double-buying what is already sitting on a rack.
Issue milestone tax invoices with the client's GSTIN, correct HSN/SAC codes, CGST/SGST or IGST split based on place of supply, and retention handled as its own line. Reports summarise output and input tax in the shape you need for GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and invoices carry the fields you need if your turnover puts you inside e-invoicing via the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP). Confirm current rules with CBIC or a local tax professional before you file.
Every PO, material issue, subcontractor bill and site expense lands against the project, so the margin you quoted sits next to the cost you have actually incurred — today, not after handover. Snap supplier bills and site expense receipts with the mobile app and let AI categorise them, then use AI insights to spot the trades and the clients that consistently erode your margin.
Long BOQ-style quotes with versions, client approval, and one-click conversion into milestone tax invoices with retention lines and correct GST treatment.
Raise POs to plywood, laminate, hardware and glass suppliers straight from an approved quote, then match goods received and supplier bills against the project.
GSTIN capture, HSN/SAC codes, CGST/SGST and IGST by place of supply, plus summaries that line up with GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.
Client ledgers, supplier payables, retention tracking and quoted-versus-actual margin per fit-out job, all from the same set of books.
Track workshop and site stock separately, issue material against a project, and transfer between locations with a record of who took what.
