Parsek Progress Payment Application Tracking module prepares contractor (müteahhit) and subcontractor (taşeron) progress payment applications (hakediş) in accordance with Turkish construction legislation, with automatic quantity-work item matching. It ensures the entire process, from interim payment applications to final accounts, becomes digital, auditable, and one-click approvable.
Why is the Progress Payment Application Process So Critical?
A progress payment application (hakediş) is a periodic payment document issued to the contractor in construction projects. Incorrectly calculated unit prices, missed work items, or late-issued progress payment application reports can lead to cash flow crises and even contract termination risks. As per legislation, interim progress payment applications must be prepared within the first 5 business days of each month, and final progress payment applications up to 6 months after the provisional acceptance of the work.
Parsek Progress Payment Application Tracking eliminates this time and accuracy pressure. The unit price list in the contract, quantity data from the field, and the approval chain converge on a single screen.
