Manual certifications delay payment and create errors
With CERP, you generate a work certification in minutes, linked to the budget line items, without Excel and with a PDF ready to send to the client.
The problem with certifying in Excel
The certification process in many construction companies remains a bottleneck that delays payment by entire weeks.
The certification is done in Excel, copying data from the original budget. Any manual change introduces errors.
The site manager measures on site, notes it on paper, passes the figure to the technician who enters it into the spreadsheet. Three steps for what could be one.
Previous certifications are not linked to each other. Calculating the cumulative certified amount is a manual process every month.
The client receives the certification days or weeks after the work is ready to certify, delaying payment unnecessarily.
How CERP automates certifications
Certifications linked to the budget
Each certification starts from the project's budget line items. The percentage or executed units are entered once and the system calculates the amount, cumulative and outstanding automatically.
Field registration on mobile
The site manager enters progress directly from the app. No intermediaries, no manual data transfers. What is measured on site is what appears on the certification.
Certification history by project
All certifications for a project are linked and ordered chronologically. Seeing the cumulative certified amount, the outstanding balance and progress over time is instant.
Professional PDF ready for the client
Generate and export the certification as a PDF with your company letterhead, line items, amounts and signature. Ready to send to the client or developer with no extra steps.
“It used to take three to four days to prepare a monthly certification between the site manager, the technician and me. Now the site manager enters progress in the app and I export the PDF in ten minutes. We get paid sooner and make far fewer errors.”
Certify and get paid faster
Remove Excel from your certifications and cut the time between executed work and issued invoice.
