BOQ to running bill,
in lockstep.

Most ERPs treat Materials and Engineering as separate modules with different data models. Farvision treats them as one continuous workflow on a single database — so the BOQ that started in estimation is the same BOQ that ends in the contractor's final running bill, with every quantity, certification and payment tied back to it.

§ 01
Difference
What others do · what we do

Two modules. One database.
That's the whole point.

In horizontal ERPs, Materials and Engineering live in different schemas, with reconciliations between them. In Farvision, they live in the same schema — so reconciliation is structural, not a monthly chase.
In horizontal ERPs

Materials and Engineering, separate.

Engineer prepares a BOQ in Excel; procurement re-enters it into the ERP. Two versions, two truths.
Material issued at site is tracked in Stores; consumption is reported in Excel; gap is "explained" at month-end.
Contractor's running bill is reviewed against the engineer's certification — usually three weeks later, after both have moved on.
Cost-to-complete is a quarterly project, not a live number.
In Farvision

Materials and Engineering, in tandem.

BOQ in Engineering generates Material Requirement automatically. One source. Zero re-keying.
Issue at site is a transaction against the same BOQ line. Consumption variance is visible the moment it happens.
Running bill picks up certified quantity from the engineer's signature directly. The dispute window collapses to zero.
Cost-to-complete refreshes every time the engineer certifies a line or stores receives a GRN.

Flow
Eight stages · two modules · one BOQ

The tandem flow,
BOQ to payment.

Engineering owns the technical track — quantities, certifications, drawings. Materials owns the commercial track — POs, GRNs, vendor payments. Both write to the same BOQ rows.

Roles
Built for the four chairs around the project table

Each role gets the data
their decision actually needs.

The construction journey touches the project head, the procurement head, the site engineer and the CFO. Same database, four lenses.

Schedule, cost and risk on one timeline.

The project head juggles architects, contractors, engineers, vendors and finance. Farvision puts the BOQ in the centre of all of it — and shows schedule slippage, cost overrun and quantity variance the moment they happen, not at the next review meeting.

01
Live cost-to-completeUpdates with every certified line and every GRN. No more waiting for month-end MIS.
02
Schedule vs realityPlanned milestones vs actual certification dates — slippage flagged early, with the BOQ lines causing it.
03
Quantity variance alertsIf site is consuming more steel than the BOQ allows, you know on day one — not at the dispute stage.
04
AutoCAD & drawing integrationLatest drawings live in the platform, with revision history. Quantity take-off straight from CAD.

The PO that you raise was always the right PO.

Procurement gets pulled in two directions — finance wants tight POs, site wants material yesterday. Farvision shows you both: the BOQ-derived requirement and the actual rate of consumption. You order what's needed, when it's needed, against vendors with track records.

01
Auto-derived material requirementThe BOQ converts to a material requirement plan automatically — no manual translation, no version conflict.
02
e-RFQ & vendor portalSend RFQs to vendors at scale, compare bids on the platform, vendor uploads invoices and tracks payment status — no more email chases.
03
Vendor scorecardsOn-time delivery, quality rejections, price drift, payment compliance — every vendor scored on the data, not on memory.
04
Three-way match · enforcedPO → GRN → Invoice. No payment without all three matching. Variance flagged for approval.

From the site, on a phone — everything you need.

Site engineers don't sit in offices. The Site App is built for the boots-on-ground reality — record progress, certify quantities, raise issues, requisition material, snag handover. Every tap writes back to the central BOQ.

01
Mobile certificationTake a photo, mark progress, certify quantity. Contractor's running bill auto-builds from your taps.
02
Material indent on demandNeed 5 tonnes of steel by Wednesday? Raise the indent from site, it routes to procurement, you get visibility on dispatch.
03
Issue & defect loggingPhoto + GPS + timestamp. Contractor sees it, fixes it, you sign it off. All auditable.
04
Drawings in your pocketLatest revision drawings, mark-ups, RFI responses — all on the app, syncing to the central record.

Every rupee in the project, traceable.

The CFO's nightmare on construction is the gap between what was certified and what was actually built. Farvision closes that gap by making the engineer's certification and the procurement's payment two sides of the same row.

01
WIP & cost capitalizationMaterial consumed, labour booked, certified work — all flow into project WIP correctly. Capitalization happens on rules, not memory.
02
Retention & BG ledgersEvery contractor has a retention ledger, BG ledger, advance recovery schedule. Releases happen on triggers, not requests.
03
GST & TDS · embeddedEvery contractor RA bill posts with correct GST splits and TDS deductions — no manual journal.
04
Audit trail · contractor-levelClick any contractor, see every BOQ line they touched, every certification, every payment, every dispute. Defensible.

The day we put Materials and Engineering on the same database was the day our contractor disputes stopped. Three years on, RA bills clear in 14 minutes flat. We measure it now. It used to be three weeks.
