The yard and
the payroll, not
the programme.

A contractor runs two businesses at once: the projects, and the plant, people and money that serve them. FlowZa AI is built for the second. It will not value your works or track a retention release — it will tell you what your plant costs, where your materials went, and whether the payroll is compliant in four countries.

What it covers

The half of the business
that is not the site.

  • FlowZa Fleetza — plant and vehicles

    Live GPS across tippers, vans and plant, driver behaviour scoring, and predictive maintenance driven by actual use rather than a calendar — resolved to a true cost per kilometre and per asset.

  • FlowZa LogisPro — materials and the stores

    Bins, picking and cycle counts in the yard, with deliveries to site sequenced against time windows and vehicle capacity rather than planned on a whiteboard.

  • FlowZa Finance — the books

    Purchases, subcontractor invoices, the double-entry ledger and multi-entity consolidation, with GST for India and VAT and corporate tax for the Gulf maintained as the rules change.

  • FlowZa Finance — payroll across four countries

    EPF, ESI, professional tax and gratuity for India; WPS bank files for the UAE; social insurance for Oman and GOSI for Saudi Arabia — the part of a mobile workforce that gets expensive when it is wrong.

Payroll

A workforce spread
across four countries.

Getting this wrong is the expensive kind of wrong. Each country carries its own statutory obligations, and FlowZa Finance maintains them as the rules change rather than leaving a payroll manager to notice.

Scope

What FlowZa AI
does not do here.

Construction finance has a vocabulary of its own, and none of it is implemented in the nine. If these are the words in your requirements document, this is not the product.

  • No commitment accounting

    A purchase order does not create a committed-cost position against a budget. Cost lands in the ledger when it is invoiced, in the ordinary way.

  • No valuations, certificates or retention

    Applications for payment, certified value, the unbilled wedge between the two, and retention held and released are not modelled anywhere in the product.

  • No project or job ledger

    There is no cost code structure, no package-level budget and no cost-value reconciliation. Profitability by job is not a report FlowZa AI produces.

  • No programme or progress tracking

    Planned against actual progress, S-curves and forecast-to-complete belong to a project system, and that is not what any of the nine is.

Contractors commonly run a dedicated job-costing or project system and use FlowZa AI for plant, stores, the statutory books and payroll. Each application exposes its own API for the handover.

Questions contractors ask

Can we cost a job in it?

Not as a contractor means it. FlowZa Finance can carry a dimension on a transaction so purchases and invoices can be analysed by project, but there is no budget to compare against, no committed cost, no valuation and no cost-value reconciliation. If job costing is the requirement, keep the system that does it.

What about plant hire, internal and external?

FlowZa Fleetza gives you the true running cost of plant you own — acquisition, fuel, workshop invoices, insurance and depreciation resolved per asset. Recharging that to a project at an internal hire rate is a ledger convention you would set up in FlowZa Finance, not a plant-hire module.

We employ across India and the Gulf. Is payroll really covered?

Yes, and it is the strongest reason contractors look at FlowZa Finance. India covers EPF, ESI, professional tax, gratuity and POSH; the UAE covers WPS bank files; Oman covers social insurance; Saudi Arabia covers GOSI. Further GCC coverage is on the roadmap rather than in the product.

Do we tag plant and materials?

FlowZa QRForge mints asset tags in bulk and logs every scan with time and place, and lets you re-point a printed code without reprinting it. It is a separate application on its own subscription.
