Your whole main contract,
on one screen.
Package-wise progress across every trade, client claims, subcontractor position, variation orders and retention both directions — for every main contract, live.
Package Progress — Al-Madar Tower
AzaaleaGPT — Progress Claim 16 (₹12.6Cr) ready: measurements certified across 4 packages — submit before the 25th cutoff. Façade sub's bill claims 24% vs 18% certified progress — hold ₹1.1Cr pending joint measurement. Retention release for the structure package (₹2.4Cr) falls due on DLP completion in 21 days.
Not adapted.
Built from scratch for general contracting firms.
A general contractor sits in the middle of every project: one main contract with the client above, and a dozen subcontract packages below — structure, MEP, finishes, façade — each with its own work order, its own bills, its own retention. Generic software sees purchase orders and invoices. eresource Nfra was built over 20+ years to see what a GC actually manages: the same work measured once, claimed upward to the client and certified downward to every sub.
"A general contractor's margin lives in the gap between the client claim and the subcontractor certifications. If those two sides run on different spreadsheets, the gap is a guess. eresource Nfra runs both from one set of site records."
Why does 20+ years of contracting ERP experience across 25 countries matter?
A progress claim with retention and advance recovery is not a sales invoice. A subcontractor bill that exceeds certified progress is money walking out the gate. A back-charge for scaffolding provided to a sub, a VO priced but not yet approved, retention held on you and by you simultaneously — these are general-contracting realities, and eresource Nfra was built for them by people who have worked alongside GC commercial teams for over two decades.

🏗️ 8 Main Contract Stages
If you hold the main contract —
and manage the trades — eresource Nfra is built for you.
Not a generic project ERP. A dedicated main-contractor platform — with every client claim retention-aware, every subcontract package certified against site records, and every trade coordinated on one system, pre-configured for your firm type.
Don't see your firm type? We very likely serve it.
Talk to ERP Specialist →Every module a general contractor needs —
from tender to defects liability.
From tendering and BOQ budgets through client progress claims, subcontract package management, site materials and plant coordination and contract P&L — all in one integrated contracting ERP.
Tendering, BOQ & Contract Budget
The main contract starts at the tender. Import BOQs from Excel, build rate analysis with subcontract-package assumptions, manage EMD and bank guarantees — and convert the award into a contract budget split between self-perform work and subcontract packages.
- BOQ import & rate analysis — Excel import, rate build-ups with planned package splits
- Tender & bid control — NIT tracking, EMD/BG registers with expiry alerts, bid vs award
- Buy-out plan — planned vs actual subcontract package awards; buying gain/loss visible
- Contract budget, live — self-perform + packages vs the client BOQ throughout the job
Client Progress Claims & Variations
The GC's cash flow runs on progress claims. Certified site measurements become claims with retention, advance recovery and approved variations included — with the GST e-invoice (IRN) or FTA Fatoora generated in the same step.
- Measurement to claim — joint measurements roll into the claim with full abstract, in the client's format
- Retention & advances — held on you and recovered from you, tracked to release both ways
- Variation orders — priced, approved and billed; pending VOs never forgotten
- GST IRN / Fatoora — e-invoice generated with the claim in one step (India / UAE)
Subcontract Package Management
This is the heart of general contracting: a dozen packages, each with a work order, bills, retention, back-charges and TDS. eresource Nfra certifies every sub against the same site records that feed your client claim — so package margin is fact, not estimate.
- Package work orders — issued item-wise from the BOQ with rates, retention and recovery terms
- Certification vs progress — sub bills checked against certified site progress; over-claims held automatically
- Back-charges & recoveries — scaffolding, power, water, rectification recovered through sub bills
- TDS & ledgers — TDS 194C deducted (India), package ledgers reconciled continuously
Site, Materials & Plant Coordination
The GC supplies the site everything the trades share: materials, plant, scaffolding, power. eresource Nfra tracks free-issue materials to subs, plant across packages and gang labour with BOCW compliance — so shared costs land on the right package.
- Free-issue control — materials issued to subs tracked and reconciled against their consumption norms
- Plant & equipment — owned and hired plant charged package-wise; TDS 194I on hire (India)
- Site stores — indent to GRN to issue with e-Way Bill checks; inter-site transfers documented
- Gang labour & BOCW — attendance by gang, daily wages, BOCW registers auto-generated
Plus 8 more modules covering the full project lifecycle:
Your entire main contract.
In every team member's pocket.
A general contractor's day happens across the site — not at a desk. eresource Nfra Mobile puts every critical workflow where the trades are: on the deck, at the gate, in the package meeting.

Still have questions? Talk to a contracting ERP specialist →01 What is ERP software for general contracting firms?
General contracting ERP manages the main-contractor role end to end — tendering and BOQ budgets, client progress claims with retention, subcontract package work orders and certification, variation orders, free-issue materials, plant coordination and contract P&L — in one platform. eresource Nfra is built on 20+ years of contracting ERP experience with 600+ firms across India, the UAE and 25+ countries.
02 How does it handle client claims and subcontractor bills together?
Both sides run from one set of site records. Joint measurements roll upward into your progress claim with retention and advance recovery, and the same certified progress is used to check every subcontractor bill downward — so a sub claiming 24% when the site shows 18% is held automatically, and package margin is fact, not estimate.
03 Can it manage back-charges, retention and TDS on subcontractors?
Yes. Back-charges for scaffolding, power, water or rectification are captured with evidence and recovered through sub bills; retention is tracked both ways — held on you by the client and by you on every package — to release; and TDS 194C is deducted on subcontractor payments (India) with ledgers reconciled continuously.
04 What India and UAE compliance is pre-built?
India: GST works-contract e-invoicing with IRN, TDS 194C on subcontractors and 194I on plant hire, BOCW cess and registers, PF/ESI, e-Way Bills and EMD/BG tracking for tenders. UAE: WPS SIF payroll, EOSB gratuity, FTA Fatoora e-invoicing and VAT 5% — the same platform runs both side by side with multi-currency consolidation.
05 How fast can we go live, and is there a trial?
A main contract typically goes live in weeks — BOQs imported from Excel, packages set up from your buy-out plan, and teams onboarded role by role from site engineer to director. A 30-day free trial is available, pre-configured with claims, package certification and site workflows; no credit card required.
