Jobora · Construction

Estimates, site inventory, and hardware-counter billing

Contractors use Jobora to price a job, buy into the warehouse, issue materials, and invoice. If you also sell bags of cement over a counter, that sale is the retail POS — same company family, different workspace.

Two jobs

Shop counter vs field, on purpose

Hardware / building-material counter

Walk-in sale of SKUs (cement, pipe, fasteners). Barcode, GST bill, cash and UPI. That is a retail shop workspace — the same counter path as a kirana.

Contractor / site

A project, an estimate, warehouse receive and issue to the job, supplier bills, customer invoices. Attendance punch can check you are near the site pin. That is the construction workspace.

Walkthrough

Job costing without pretending to be SAP

  1. 1

    Open a project and write estimates

    A lead becomes a job. The project manager builds an estimate (materials, labour, equipment, and the rest). One approved estimate is the internal budget. Later revisions are change orders — they do not silently rewrite history.

  2. 2

    Know bid vs estimate vs invoice

    The bid/contract is what you agreed with the client. The estimate is what you think it will cost. The invoice is what you bill. Jobora keeps those as related but separate numbers so a cheap bid is not hidden inside a fat estimate.

  3. 3

    Warehouse in, site issue out

    Receive inventory (including GST categories on items). Issue to a project so warehouse quantity drops and the job picks up cost. This tracks cost allocation; it is not a full scan-in/scan-out of every bar on the site pile.

  4. 4

    Bills you pay, invoices you send

    Supplier bills and customer invoices live in Finance. GST-aware lines follow the tax categories you configured. Printing a tax invoice is not filing GSTR or generating an e-way bill.

  5. 5

    Attendance punch (privacy-limited)

    Clock-in and clock-out on a construction job can require a location snapshot and, if the project has a site GPS pin, that you are inside the allowed radius. Managers can see that punch location to confirm you were at site. It is not live tracking of staff all day. See the privacy policy.
