What slips at month-end
Many clients, many bills. All due the same week.
A specialty contractor works for many clients at once, on many sites, each job reported in a different group. Every client reviews bills in the last week of the month, each wanting its own proof, so small things slip: jobs that missed the bill, test records nobody collected, repairs nobody proved.
The last week
Every client reviews bills in the same week.
Each client wants its own bill, with the photos, checklists and test records for every job, gathered from site, QC and stores.
All of it lands in the last week of the month, and the bills that miss the window wait for the next one.
Missed in the bill
A terrace treated mid-month. It never reached that client's bill.
"Terrace waterproofing done, Block C, 420 sqm": posted in the main contractor's group, one job among dozens across sites.
At month-end each client's jobs are pieced together from many groups, and some are missed. The work was done; that bill never saw it.
Test records
Flood test passed. The record stayed on a phone.
Each treated area is flood-tested before it is handed over, and the photo of the test sits in a site engineer's chat or a group nobody checks at bill time.
Without it the client holds the line, and the payment waits another month.
Repairs
Leak fixed on site. Never proven, so retention stays held.
A leak is fixed and the photo is posted, but nobody files it against the snag the client raised.
At handover the snag still shows open, and retention stays held until someone finds the proof.
What Velora picks up
What your site groups already carry, in specialty terms.
Velora reads text, voice notes and photos in the groups your crews post in today, including the main contractor's groups you're part of, and files each job by client, site and area.
Jobs by client and site
Areas treated, injections and installations by client, site and area, with photos.
Test records
Flood, ponding and pressure test records, filed against the job they prove.
Checklists
Surface preparation and application checklists, when they are posted.
Repairs
Leaks fixed and snags closed, with photos, logged against the job.
Deliveries
Membranes, coatings, chemicals and pipes by vendor, with their challans.
Crews
Which crew worked on which site, each day.
Instructions
Instructions from the client or the main contractor, logged with date and site.
Commitments
Who promised what, by when: a test, a revisit, a handover.
Site teams change nothing. Velora joins each group as one more member.
What each team gets
Every team gets its part of the work.
Billing gets each client's quantities in a report, operations sees every site today, and leadership sees every project. Nobody has to ask site for an update.
Every client's quantities, ready for their bill.
Work done is matched to each client's BOQ or work order and totalled for the month. Each total opens into the sites, areas, dates and photos behind it, with the test records and checklists that client asks for, and missing ones are followed up on WhatsApp once you switch follow-ups on. Velora tracks quantities; your team adds rates and finalises each bill.
See Billing IntelligenceEvery site, every day, without the calls.
Which crew did what, on which site, with photos, the repairs and snags closed, and deliveries by vendor, from the groups your crews post in, including the main contractor's. Reports for each client are drafted from the same record, ready to review and send.

The month's bills, built from the site record.
Each client is billed on its own BOQ or work order. Velora keeps every job's total and its proof together, client by client.
Totals per client
Square metres treated, running metres injected and tanks lined, for each line of each client's BOQ or work order.
By site and area
Every total lists where the work was done, with dates and photos, so each bill can be checked before it goes out.
Test records per job
Flood, ponding and pressure test records and checklists, received or still missing, before each bill goes out.
Gaps before the bill
Jobs that match no BOQ line, and lines posted without a measurement, flagged to your billing team before each bill goes in.

Getting started
What we'd need to start a pilot.
A pilot runs on a few of your clients' jobs and their live site groups. Your crews don't change how they post.
A spare WhatsApp number
Linked to Velora and added to your site groups as one more member. No personal chats are connected.
Your site groups
The groups where your crews post jobs, tests and deliveries today, including the main contractor's groups you're in.
Your scope
Each client's BOQ or work order. Loaded once per client.
A sample chat export lets us test on your own messages before going live.
See it on your own jobs.
Talk to us about your clients and we'll set up a pilot against your live WhatsApp groups and their BOQs or work orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from specialty contractors and their billing teams.
Yes. Each client's BOQ or work order is loaded once, and every job is matched to the client and site it belongs to, so each client's bill is built on its own, with its own proof.
Yes, once Velora's number is added to that group as one more member, the same way you add it to your own. Velora reads only the groups it is a member of.
Flood, ponding and pressure test records and checklists posted in a group are filed against the job they prove. The ones still missing are listed for the people who owe them, once you switch follow-ups on, so each bill shows which records are in.
Yes. Velora reads text, voice notes and photos in the languages your crews use, including photos of test records and challans, and keeps each original message with the record it created.
No. Velora joins the groups your crews already use as one more member and reads what they post today. There is no new app and no form to fill.
We run a discounted pilot for the first three months on a few of your clients' jobs: the full product, with no long-term commitment.
