SuperWise is construction management software for contractors. Your site team records indents, deliveries, labour, progress and issues, and the daily progress report (DPR) reads those records.

The slab was cast on Tuesday. The office heard on Friday.

## A contractor's day on SuperWise

1. **Morning, 7:30. Indents raised before the truck is due.** The site engineer raises an indent with the quantity, the required-by date, photos and a GPS location, and links it to a BOQ item. Procurement sees it the same morning.
2. **On site, 11:00. Deliveries received against the order.** The supervisor opens the purchase order line and records the delivery: vehicle, driver, quantity and a quality status, with three photos. The quantity stops at the line maximum plus the permitted variation.
3. **In the office, 18:00. The day's report, read from the records.** The daily progress report for the date reads the day's challans, labour, progress and issues. Pick the sections, download PDF or Excel, and nobody retypes anything.

## Three workflows a contractor lives in

### Every delivery checked against its order

A delivery is a challan against a purchase order line, so what arrives is compared with what was ordered. Each challan keeps its vehicle, driver, photos and quality status.

### Progress logged on the task, from the floor

The site updates a task's percent complete with photos from the phone, and the entry keeps a location and a time. A task can require its finish checklist before it closes.

### The daily report, built from the records

The DPR reads the day's deliveries, labour, progress and issues. Choose the sections and the date or range, then download PDF or Excel for the client.

## What changes for contractors

- **A DPR built from site records.** Before: The DPR was typed each evening from phone calls, photos on WhatsApp and the day's slips. Now: The DPR reads the day's challans, labour, progress and issues, so nobody retypes them. It downloads as PDF or Excel for one date or a range.
- **Material and labour on record.** Before: Delivery slips and attendance counts sat in a site register and reached the office days later. Now: Each delivery is a challan against a purchase order line, with the vehicle, three photos and a quality status. Labour is recorded by category and contractor, with a photo and a GPS location.
- **One view across your sites.** Before: Each site reported in its own format, so comparing sites meant calling each one. Now: The portfolio summary lists every project you can access with its schedule status, percent complete, cost to date against budget and open issues.

## Modules a contractor uses

Each row comes from the product guide. The [daily progress report app](https://superwise.site/solutions/daily-progress-report-app/) and [site management](https://superwise.site/solutions/construction-site-management-software/) pages describe the same records from the reporting side.

| Module | What you do in it |
| --- | --- |
| Material indents | Raise an indent with the quantity, the required-by date, photos and a GPS location, and link it to a BOQ item. |
| Material delivery challans (MDC) | Record a delivery against a PO line with the vehicle, driver, three photos and a quality status. The quantity stops at the line maximum plus the permitted variation. |
| Labour challans | Record the workers of one category from a contractor, with a photo and a GPS location. The entry date is the attendance date. |
| Task progress | Update progress on a schedule task, singly or by bulk Excel upload, with rules against lower percentages, future dates and duplicate dates. |
| Checklists and quality forms | Fill the start or finish checklist on a task. With enforcement on, the task cannot be marked complete until the finish checklist is approved. |
| Issues and snags | Raise an issue with a type, a priority, a responsible person and a target closure date, and attach photos. |
| Daily progress report (DPR) | Generate the DPR for a date or a range from the day's records, as PDF or Excel. |

## Records that support a claim

A claim for delay or extra work stands on dates, quantities and photos. SuperWise keeps them on the record that created them. A [delivery challan](https://superwise.site/glossary/material-delivery-challan/) stores the vehicle, the driver, a quality status and three photos of the loaded vehicle, the unloaded vehicle and the material. A labour challan stores a photo and a GPS location.

A delay such as bad weather, a pile machine breakdown or soil not disposed of is logged as an issue with an opened date and a closed date. Challans, purchase orders, work orders and bills keep who created them and when, and a company can switch on a timestamp on images uploaded through the mobile app.

## Forms a site team can fill in

The site enters what it already tracks: the delivery slip, the attendance count, the percentage done on a task and the snag. Each is one form with a few fields, and a task can ask for a start or finish checklist before it moves on.

A user with the Reports view privilege can ask the help agent for a DPR for a date or range and get the download link. With the Progress Add privilege the user can log task progress, and with Issues Add raise an issue.

The company can switch on a push notification to procurement when a new delivery challan is submitted from the mobile app, and a notice to the creator when a challan is rejected.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does a site team record a delivery?

The site engineer opens the purchase order line the delivery is against and records a delivery challan: supplier challan number, unloading date, vehicle, driver, quantity received, a quality status and three photos. The purchase order must be approved first, and the quantity cannot pass the line maximum plus the permitted variation. The mobile app submits challans too.

### What goes into the DPR?

The DPR has eleven selectable sections: site progress, measurement sheets, material inventory, deliveries, issues, labour, tools inventory, attendance, materials supplied, indents and checklists. Options add a cover page, delivery photos, weather or a date range. It downloads as PDF or Excel, and every section reads from its own module.

### Can the records support a delay claim?

Yes, as dated evidence. Issues carry a type, a priority, opened and closed dates and photos, and each day's DPR lists the deliveries, labour and progress recorded. Together they give dates and quantities to cite when you ask for more time or payment. SuperWise holds the records, and your team writes the claim.

### Can I see every site without visiting?

Yes, for the projects your login is assigned to. The portfolio summary lists each accessible project with its schedule status, overall percent complete, cost to date against budget and open issues, and the project dashboard goes into one project. Roles set what each person can view, create, edit, delete and approve in every module area.

### Can I certify my subcontractors' bills in SuperWise?

Yes. You issue a work order to each subcontractor, measurement sheets record the work against the BOQ item, and the RA bill claims cumulative quantity up to the work order quantity, with retention and mobilisation recovery deducted. Approvers sign the bill off in steps by role before payment is released against it.
