# Construction management platform > SuperWise is a construction management platform that joins planning, site reports, procurement and billing in one project record, on the web and on the phone. Canonical: https://superwise.site/platform/ Last updated: 2026-11-01 SuperWise is construction management software that holds a project's schedule, site progress, purchases, measurements and bills together. Set up company masters once, then run every project from the web or the phone. ## What the platform covers Ten groups of modules, in the order a company sets them up.

The office reads the day from those records instead of chasing calls. The same records feed the daily progress report and the bills, so what the office signs is what the site logged. [See site reporting](https://superwise.site/features/construction-site-reporting/) ## How the record flows Two chains run through every project. A purchase moves from indent to bill, and the work moves from schedule to RA bill. Each step is a record the next one reads. ### Materials: indent to bill 1. **[Indent](https://superwise.site/features/material-management/).** The site asks for material and the request is approved. 2. **[Purchase order](https://superwise.site/features/material-management/).** The order goes to the vendor, from an indent or direct. 3. **[Challan](https://superwise.site/features/material-management/).** The delivery is checked in at the gate, with photos. 4. **[Bill](https://superwise.site/features/material-management/).** The purchase bill is raised from accepted deliveries. ### Work: schedule to RA bill 1. **[Schedule](https://superwise.site/features/construction-scheduling/).** The plan the site works to, with baselines. 2. **[Progress](https://superwise.site/features/construction-site-reporting/).** Logged from site against each task, with a photo. 3. **[DPR](https://superwise.site/features/construction-daily-report/).** The daily report is compiled from those records. 4. **[RA bill](https://superwise.site/features/ra-bill-certification/).** Bills built from approved measurements. ## The running chains, on screen The five chains that run a project, each with the screen it lives on. 1. **Procurement: material chain.** Material indent, request for quotation, quotation and purchase order, then material delivery or labour challans. [See material management](https://superwise.site/features/material-management/). 2. **Procurement: works contract chain.** Request for proposal, proposal, work order, RA bill and payment. [See RA bill certification](https://superwise.site/features/ra-bill-certification/). 3. **Billing.** The project BOQ, measurement sheets, RA bills, vendor bills, payments, expense vouchers and the vendor ledger. [See the digital measurement book](https://superwise.site/features/digital-measurement-book/). 4. **Site operations.** Issues and snags, project documents, site attendance, task progress and the daily progress report. [See site reporting](https://superwise.site/features/construction-site-reporting/). 5. **Reports.** The DPR, the MIS report, cash outflow by task and by BOQ item, a monthly summary, a package-wise schedule summary and a portfolio summary, computed from the other modules. [See the daily report](https://superwise.site/features/construction-daily-report/). ## Fits beside your tools, under your permissions ### Beside your ERP and planning tools SuperWise sits between the planning desktop, the accounts package and the site. A planner imports a schedule from Microsoft Project (MPP or XML) or Excel as a template. The billing team downloads the BOQ as Excel and generates reports as PDF or Excel. Work items hold the account references an ERP expects, and a bill can be marked as passed to Tally. Each of these is an import, an export or a reference. A live exchange with another system is documented only for Zapier. [See the integrations](https://superwise.site/integrations/) ### Zapier and the API The Zapier integration runs on an OAuth2 REST API. A Zap acts only as the user who authorised it, with that user's role permissions. Triggers fire when a purchase order is created or approved, when a material indent is created, when task progress is logged, when a site issue is opened and when a daily report is submitted. A Zap can create a site issue. [See the integrations](https://superwise.site/integrations/) ### Access and security Each role holds View, Create, Edit, Delete and Approve privileges per module. Vendor users see only their own organisation's records. Document folders carry their own view, upload and delete permissions, and approval workflows can chain several approvers. ## How a rollout runs A rollout follows the dependency order of the modules, as the product guide lays it out. 1. **Set up the tenant.** Tenant settings come first. They fix the currency and number format, the start of the financial year, document numbering and notifications, and they change how the whole application behaves. 2. **Load the company masters.** Departments, roles, users, organisations, taxes, calendars, resources, templates and checklists are set up once for the company, in dependency order. Vendors and resources can be loaded in bulk from a CSV through the help agent. [See the bulk CSV import](https://superwise.site/platform/ai/). 3. **Onboard each project.** A project needs a name, code, location, client, working calendar and duration unit. Each user is given a role and at least one project. 4. **Run the project modules.** Schedule, procurement, site operations, billing and reports are kept per project, and a user picks the active project from the top bar. ## On site and in the office The same project record is open in the web portal and in the phone app. Office teams work in the web screens for schedules, purchasing, billing and reports. Site teams use the phone app for material delivery and photos. A tenant can switch on a timestamp watermark for photos taken in the app, and procurement staff get a push notification when a delivery challan is submitted from it. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is SuperWise? SuperWise is construction management software that keeps a project's schedule, site progress, procurement, measurement, billing and documents in one record. Company masters are set up once, and each project runs its own schedule, purchases, site reports and RA bills on top of them, from a web portal or a phone app. ### Who uses SuperWise? SuperWise is used by contractors, developers and project management consultants. The customers named on this site include a real estate developer, general civil contractors, an event infrastructure contractor, a government infrastructure contractor and a corporate social responsibility organisation, and SuperWise has run live projects since 2015. ### Does SuperWise work beside Microsoft Project and our accounts software? Yes. SuperWise imports a schedule from a Microsoft Project file or an Excel sheet as a template, exports the BOQ to Excel and reports to PDF or Excel, and lets a bill be marked as passed to Tally. These are file imports and exports and a mark on the bill. A live link exists only through Zapier. ### How does a rollout start? A rollout starts with tenant settings, then the company masters, then the first project. Tenant settings come first because they change how the whole application behaves. Masters such as users, vendors, resources and templates follow, and each project is created with a name, code, location, client, calendar and duration unit. ### Is there a mobile app? Yes. Site teams use a phone app next to the web portal, for example to submit material deliveries with photos. A tenant can add a timestamp watermark to photos taken in the app, and procurement staff receive a push notification when a delivery challan is submitted from it. ### Can other tools connect to SuperWise? Yes, through Zapier. The integration uses an OAuth2 REST API and acts only as the user who authorised it. Triggers cover purchase orders, material indents, task progress, site issues and daily reports, and a Zap can create a site issue. Everything else is an import or an export. ## Related - [AI in SuperWise](https://superwise.site/platform/ai/) - [Features](https://superwise.site/features/) - [Integrations](https://superwise.site/integrations/)
