For civil contractors
Software for contractors who run the site.
Fortera gives contractors execution control: BOQ-linked progress, running-account bills with retention, disciplined procurement with rate comparison, labour and material paired, and payments gated on quality, all captured on a phone that works offline on site.
In plain terms
Civil contractors execute work against a scope and bill for it, so their world is quantities, rates, progress and payments, not unit sales. Software for civil contractors has to handle BOQ-linked progress, running-account (RA) billing with retention, procurement rate discipline, labour and material tracking, and it has to work on site where the network is patchy.
What hurts today
The leaks you feel most.
Billing is slow and disputed
Preparing running-account bills by hand from site measurements is slow, and quantities get disputed without a clear trail.
Rates leak
The best material rate lives in someone's memory, and choosing a costlier vendor leaves no record, so margin quietly erodes.
Labour and material drift apart
Material is ordered without the matching labour planned, so work stalls or costs are underestimated.
Data never leaves the site
Office software goes unused on a dusty site with weak signal, so progress and measurements are lost or entered late.
What matters most
Where Fortera earns its place.
RA bills with retention
Running-account bills with retention and security-deposit tracking, and a three-way match before any payment clears.
Rate discipline on every purchase
L1/L2/L3 rate comparison with a written reason to skip the lowest, and rate-freeze so cash is not trapped in a godown.
Labour paired with material
A large tile order automatically suggests the matching laying-labour cost, so nothing is planned in isolation.
Field-first and offline
Big buttons, minimal typing and camera-first capture on a phone that queues offline and syncs when the network returns.

Questions & answers
Civil contractors, answered.
- Does Fortera generate RA bills?
- Yes. Fortera prepares running-account (RA) bills with retention and security-deposit tracking, linked to progress and quantities, and runs a three-way match (PO, GRN, bill) before payment clears.
- Is it usable on site with poor network?
- Yes. Fortera is mobile-first and offline-tolerant. Records created with patchy or no signal are queued and auto-synced when the connection returns, with no duplicates.
- Can it control procurement rates?
- Yes. Every purchase shows L1, L2 and L3 quotes side by side with vendor rate history, requires a written reason when the lowest is not chosen, and supports rate-freeze to protect working capital.
