Plant engineering

Industrial plants, with a progress report that matches the hours

In plant engineering the progress report is the document that matters. CantiVera reads it, breaks it into items and attaches the crew’s hours, so you know whether what you declare holds up before the meeting.

Where the margin leaks

  • Items that swallow hours

    Piping takes 40% more hours than planned and you find out at commissioning.

  • Reports written the night before

    The declared percentage is a guess from memory, not data.

  • Crews across several sites

    The same people work on three jobs and hours end up on the wrong one.

How CantiVera helps

  • 1

    The report becomes structure

    Upload the PDF and get items with estimated hours, ready to receive actual hours.

  • 2

    Declared versus worked

    For every item, the declared percentage next to the hours spent.

  • 3

    Margin while you work

    Earned revenue minus full cost, with overtime and travel at their real price.

  • 4

    No hour counted twice

    Clock-ins and signed sheets never add up by mistake.

Most used features in plant engineering

  • Progress reports read by AI

    Upload the progress report PDF and AI turns it into work items with estimated hours.

  • Progress report generated for the client

    From measured progress, CantiVera prepares the report with items, percentages and photos. You check and sign.

  • Declared progress, verified

    You declare the percentage of each item; CantiVera puts it next to the hours actually spent.

  • Revenue and margin while the job is open

    Earned revenue minus full cost while the work is still running, not at year end.

  • Double-counted hours blocked

    The same hours can arrive from two channels. CantiVera recognises them and never counts them twice.

  • Progress photos

    The crew’s photos land on the right item, with date, time and author. See the site without going there.

The data chain

Enter it once. It flows all the way to the margin.

Each link feeds the next without retyping anything: from the quote to the analysis, the same data runs through the whole job.

  1. 1

    Quote

    The estimate with hours and costs.

  2. 2

    Job

    The quote becomes work, with client and crew.

  3. 3

    Report or plan

    Items from the PDF, or phases and tasks.

  4. 4

    Hours

    From the app, a clock-in or a paper sheet.

  5. 5

    Costs

    Hours at full cost, plus subcontracts and rentals.

  6. 6

    Analysis

    Deviations, risks, revenue and margin.

Data is entered once and flows all the way to the margin. No spreadsheet in between.

Without changing the job site

Everyone logs hours the way they prefer.

By voice, in the app, with one tap or by pen on a sheet. The hours all land in the same place, on the right item.

  • Phone listening, with a waveform and the transcript: eight hours on the steam piping, two of them overtime.

    By voice

    Say what you did and the voice agent fills in the activity. You confirm.

  • Printed weekly timesheet with a QR code, hours handwritten for five people and a signature.

    Signed sheet, read by AI

    The crew writes by pen, you photograph the sheet. AI reads names and hours and enters them for you.

  • Phone showing the entry form: project, report item, 8 regular hours and the Save button.

    In the app

    Activities, hours and photos from the phone, on the report item or the task.

  • Phone with a large clock-in button at 07:58 and a note that no location is stored.

    One-tap clock-in

    Clock in and out of the site. No location stored, consent required.

Double-counted hours do not get through

Four channels mean the same hours can come in twice: a clock-in and a signed sheet for the same day. CantiVera recognises the overlap and does not count it. Costs, progress and invoices stay true.
