Vela Apps for Builder

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the Vela Apps builder app?+

Vela Apps gives your builder business its own branded app, not a marketplace listing. Run your contracting business from one app: a ledger per project, supplier invoices, budget vs actual, client milestone payments and project statements.

What can the builder app do?+

It includes 17 features across 5 areas: owner & staff dashboard (4), orders & operations (4), billing & payments (5), reports & insights (3), team & access (1). The full list is in the features section of this page.

Can it read supplier invoices?+

Yes. Upload a photo or PDF of a supplier invoice and the line items are read automatically for your review. You correct them, tag each as material, labour or other, and confirm.

Can I track budget against spend?+

Yes. It shows budget versus actual spend for each project and across all projects, with a monthly cost summary chart and an alerts panel for overdue milestones and unpaid supplier invoices.

How do client payments work?+

You set payment milestones per project with due dates. Each milestone has a pay-online link so the client can pay by UPI or card without logging in, and clients get SMS reminders before and after the due date. A project account statement can be downloaded as a PDF.

Will my customers get their own app?+

This sector is built for you and your team, not for the public. You get an owner and team app that works on Android, iOS and the web.

What does it cost, and is there a commission?+

There is no commission, only a plan fee. Vela Cloud hosts the app for you, so there is no server to set up. It is billed monthly, or every 6 or 12 months with 1 or 2 months free. The current price for builder is shown on this page when it is available.
