It started with a friend’s business.

How a small idea grew

The original plan was a small application for my friend’s business. As I built it, the scope grew into a broader business management system, often called an ERP. Today, SiteBahi brings together records of work, attendance, materials, rentals and payments.

The name brings together the site, where the work happens, and the bahi, the ledger where it is recorded. SiteBahi connects that record to the working day, so it is easier to see what happened, what materials arrived and which payments are still due.

Where we’re starting

We’re starting with the needs of independent contractors who manage site work and day-to-day records with their teams. Our current focus is making attendance, material records, site progress and payments easier to manage, especially for teams working in villages, towns and rural areas.

What each role can manage

People have different responsibilities on a site or in a supplier business. Access in SiteBahi follows your role, site agreement and enabled features.

Contractors and construction business owners

Manage site inventory, workers and wages, bills and payments. Use enabled BOQ, budgeting, procurement and subcontractor tools to follow project costs and commitments.

Site supervisors

Record attendance, daily progress, work quantities and photos. Request materials, record deliveries and follow site tasks. Administrative and payment actions stay with authorized roles.

Building owners

Review site progress and evidence, respond to material requests, confirm deliveries and review extra work or contractor bills. Access to wage details follows the site agreement.

Material supplier business owners

Manage material sales, equipment rentals, or both from the supplier workspace. Keep catalogs, stock, customers, orders, deliveries, returns, invoices, payments and outstanding balances together. Customers can be independent or linked to a construction site.

On the contractor’s side, materials and procurement tools record supplier deliveries, purchase orders, bills and payments. A supplier’s own workspace separately manages its customers, sales and rentals without exposing private site records.

Hindi support for everyday work

Core site, sales and rental workflows support Hindi and English. Some advanced screens and reports are currently in English. We are working to keep the language clear and familiar to the people using SiteBahi.

SiteBahi is available on the web and on Google Play in India. Sign in to the Android app with an Indian mobile number (+91) using OTP.

What you can manage today

The workflows you can use depend on your workspace and enabled modules. Each person sees the information allowed by their role and permissions.

Site diary and daily progress reports

Record daily work, quantities, delays and photo evidence. Share daily progress reports (DPR) with owners for review.

Workforce, attendance and wage management

Maintain worker records, attendance, wage rates, adjustments, payments and settlements. Advanced payroll tools add overtime, advances and payroll approvals where enabled.

Materials inventory management

Track material requests, goods received, consumption and stock balances. Record stock adjustments, shortages and delivery differences, and review estimated stock value.

Material sales and supplier operations

Manage a material catalog, stock, customers and sales orders. Record full or partial deliveries, issue invoices, handle returns and credit notes, and track customer payments and balances. Supplier businesses can use sales, rentals or both.

Rental inventory management

Manage equipment and shuttering stock, reservations, available quantities and items out on rent. Record partial returns, damaged or lost items, and repairs or write-offs.

Procurement and vendor management

Where procurement is enabled, handle purchase requests, supplier quotations, quotation comparisons, purchase orders and goods receipt notes (GRN). Match supplier bills to orders and receipts, and track vendor advances.

BOQ, estimates and budgets

Prepare a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) with item descriptions, units, quantities and rates. Enabled budget and estimation tools support cost revisions, quotations and project budgets.

Measured work and cost reports

Enabled commercial tools record measured quantities, work variations and payment certificates. Cost reports show estimates, commitments, bills, payments and BOQ cost differences, with printable and CSV formats.

Subcontractor records

Where subcontractor control is enabled, manage work orders, measured work, changes, advances, bills, retained amounts and payments.

Billing, payments and handover

Record bills, payments, site issues and completion details. Keep track of what is paid, what remains due and the records needed to hand over the work.

For projects that need them, SiteBahi also includes modules for scheduling, drawings and documents, quality inspections, safety, procurement, equipment and workforce management. Availability depends on the project, plan, enabled features and your role.

Our vision: a complete construction ERP

Our vision is to build SiteBahi into a complete construction ERP for businesses. One connected system should support the work from the first estimate and BOQ through site execution, billing and final handover. We’re starting with everyday site needs and aim to support construction businesses of different sizes and types over time.

Work toward this vision is already underway. The existing tools above are the foundation; the directions below include both further development and planned capabilities.

Quantity surveying and QS reports

We want to build on the existing BOQ and measured-work tools with detailed quantity takeoff, measurement sheets, planned-versus-executed quantity comparisons and dedicated quantity surveying (QS) reports.

Map support for construction sites

Planned map support would help teams locate their sites and connect progress records, site photos and material deliveries to the places where the work happens.

Connected construction business management

We are developing the wider ERP around estimates, procurement, schedules, workforce, equipment, quality control, safety, subcontractors, billing and handover. The goal is to connect these records across projects so the business can follow work and costs together.

Feedback from contractors, owners and suppliers will guide what we prioritize next. As the system grows, clear Hindi support and manageable everyday tasks will remain central to how we build it.

Material supplier businesses: sales, rentals or both

A Material Supplier Business can sell materials, rent equipment, or do both. SiteBahi keeps sales and rental workflows in the same supplier workspace while their stock and transaction records remain separate. A business can serve contractors, construction sites and independent customers from one place.

Available workflows depend on the business mode and assigned permissions. Here is what supplier businesses can manage today:

One customer account for sales and rentals

Serve construction sites, contractors and individual or walk-in customers from the same supplier workspace. A business can sell materials, rent equipment, or do both without requiring every customer to join a SiteBahi site.

Sales orders, deliveries and invoices

Create customer orders, record full or partial deliveries and issue sales invoices. Keep each sale linked to its customer, with an optional site reference for project work.

Inventory for materials and equipment

Manage the material catalog, units, selling prices and stock alongside rental equipment. Sold quantities leave sales stock, while rented quantities remain tracked until return. Sales returns and rental damage or loss keep their own records.

Customer ledgers and payment tracking

View sales and rental invoices in one customer account while each transaction keeps its own details. Track advances, partial payments, unpaid balances and collection follow-ups. Record refunds, corrections and sales-return credits so the balance reflects what is actually due.

Owner and team responsibilities

Business owners control catalog settings, pricing, stock adjustments and financial permissions. Authorized staff handle customer orders, deliveries and returns within their assigned access, with a record of who made each change.

Customer orders, deliveries, invoices and payments stay connected. Site-linked orders retain their project context, while independent customers can be managed without joining a SiteBahi site.
