Project Management Software for PEB Fabricators
Mill certificates, galvanisation, dispatch sequencing, and erection milestones — the four PEB-specific RA bill failure points, fixed.

What breaks today
The five recurring pain patterns that drive project management software for peb fabricators projects into RA disputes, BG penalties, and capital lockup.
- ● Fabrication drawing revisions arrive late from the design office, but RA bills get raised against the original BOQ
- ● Mill test certificates (MTCs) for primary steel are demanded by the client at handover — and almost always missing for one batch
- ● Galvanisation queue blocks dispatch; job-work vendors hold material for 9-14 days during peak season
- ● Erection at site uses different tonnage assumptions than dispatch from shop — certified RA always lags claimed RA
- ● Small bolts, bracings, and cleats are claimed in RA but not erected — auditors catch this 6 months later
How KaptIQ is built for this
Vertical-specific milestone templates, RA reconciliation logic, and stagnation flags — not a generic PM tool retrofitted with a new logo.
Drawing release → cut → weld → galvanise → dispatch milestone chain
KaptIQ ships a PEB-specific milestone template with these five gates as a sequence. Each gate carries its own % complete, so your weekly RA bill is computed against actual shop progress, not the BOQ at sale.
Mill certificate (MTC) tracking per heat number
Each fabrication batch logs its MTC reference on dispatch. At handover, the auditor's MTC pull is one click — not a 3-week scavenger hunt across your shop floor's email threads.
Galvanisation queue visibility
Track captive vs job-work galvanisation as separate stagnation flags. KaptIQ's stagnation engine flags any batch sitting >7 days at the galvaniser, so your Commercial Manager knows which PO is jammed before it hits dispatch lead time.
Site erection vs shop dispatch reconciliation
Shop dispatch tonnage and site erection tonnage are reconciled at every RA cycle. Bracings, cleats, and bolts dispatched but not erected are flagged in the deviation report — your CFO sees the gap 60 days early, not at year-end.

Common questions
From founders, Director-Projects, Commercial Managers, and CFOs we have spoken to during the Founding 25 cohort design phase.
Does KaptIQ track fabrication drawing revisions?
Yes. Each drawing revision is a versioned event on the project. RA bills are computed against the revision active on certification date, not the live BOQ. This eliminates the most common PEB RA dispute.
Can we link MTC numbers to dispatch lots?
Yes. Dispatch entries carry MTC reference fields. At handover, the certificate trail is one export — auditors stop hunting through 18 months of WhatsApp groups.
Does the system handle galvanisation as a separate cost head?
Yes. Galvanisation is treated as a sub-milestone with its own duration and cost. Shop-floor stagnation here is a top-3 PEB delay cause, and the daily Action Queue surfaces it.
What about erection-at-site progress vs shop dispatch?
These are two independent milestone chains. The reconciliation engine flags tonnage variance every RA cycle, so claimed vs certified RA deviation is visible monthly, not annually.
Does KaptIQ integrate with our existing Tally / Busy / SAP?
No live integration in v1, but billing data CSV imports/exports cleanly. KaptIQ is decision intelligence, not an ERP — Tally / SAP keep their transaction role.
Can we run pilot on one ₹40 Cr PEB project?
Yes. Starter tier is free for up to 2 users; Growth tier (₹9,999/mo standard, ₹4,999/mo for the first 25 customers) unlocks RA reconciliation, BG tracking, and full advisory engine.
