Design projects lose margin quietly

Without real-time financial data, scope creep and unbilled hours eat into your profits before you even notice. Spreadsheets can't keep up.

Hidden Scope Creep

Changes in scope aren't tracked financially until it's too late to bill the client, resulting in free work.

Unbilled Hours

Hours are logged but not billed accurately against the budget phases, causing instant profit leaks.

Delayed Vendor Costs

Vendor invoices arrive months late, wrecking cashflow forecasts and project profitability analysis.

One platform to control project costs and profit

Real-time tracking, smart forecasting, and complete visibility into every rupee. Built specifically for architecture and interior design workflows.

Live Cost Burn Tracking

Track every rupee spent in real-time against your budget. See exactly where your margin is going before the project is over. Get alerts when phases are nearing budget limits.
