Contracts anchor the work
Client contracts anchor the projects, procurement, and labour delivered under them.
Contracts, procurement, and billing that stay on the same page as the work.
Contracting ERP that ties client contracts to the procurement, labour, and costs behind them — so what you bought, who worked, and what you can bill line up against the agreement instead of drifting apart.
Contracting lives on agreements, and agreements go wrong when the work, the buying, and the billing stop referencing each other. The site team spends, procurement orders, and the person raising the client invoice is working from a different set of numbers than either. Farexa keeps them together: contracts anchor the projects worked under them, procurement and expenses post to those projects, and workforce deployment records who did the work — so a client invoice is built from what actually happened, not an estimate.
Controlled purchasing is the backbone. Requests become approved purchase orders, receiving is matched, and supplier invoices are checked before payment, so project cost is real. Workforce deployment tracks the labour against the contract, expenses capture the site spend with evidence, and it all posts to the ledger — so the margin between what a contract cost and what it billed is a number, not a hope.
That alignment is the whole value: when procurement, the site, and billing share the same projects, milestone billing reflects delivered work, cost is visible before the job closes, and the argument about what was actually spent on a contract has an answer in the system rather than in three people's spreadsheets.
Key features
How Farexa maps to contracting.
Controlled procurement
Requests become approved POs, received and invoice-checked, so project cost is real.
Workforce deployment
Track who worked on the contract, with attendance behind the hours.
Site expenses with evidence
Capture site spend against the project with category and receipt.
Cost-to-bill visibility
See what a contract cost against what it can bill, so the margin is a number.
Posts to the ledger
Procurement, expenses, and billing post to accounts, so finance sees the same contract.
Approvals on commitment
Spend is committed through approvals, so contract costs are authorised.
Contract and project reporting
Read cost, labour, and billing by contract and project.
How it works
From contract to visible margin.
01
Set up the contract. Create the client, the contract, and the projects worked under it, with approval paths.
02
Buy and deploy against it. Raise controlled purchase orders and deploy workforce to the contract's projects.
03
Capture cost. Post procurement, site expenses, and labour to the project with evidence.
04
Bill delivered work. Build client billing from what was actually delivered, not an estimate.
05
Read the margin. Review cost against billing by contract, so the margin is visible before close.
Who it's for
Who contracts with it.
- Contracting firms — Contracts, procurement, and billing aligned against the agreement.
- Civil, MEP, and fit-out contractors — Project cost tied to the contract it's delivered under.
- Facilities and service contractors — Recurring contract work with controlled cost.
- Contract managers and finance — Managers run delivery; finance bills what was delivered and reads margin.
Works with

FAQ
What contracting firms ask.
How does it keep billing aligned with the work?
Contracts anchor the projects, and procurement, expenses, and labour all post to those projects — so client billing is built from what was actually delivered rather than an estimate. The site team, procurement, and billing work from the same numbers.
Can I see contract margin before the job closes?
Yes. Because cost posts to the project as it's incurred and billing references the same projects, you can read what a contract has cost against what it can bill while there's still time to act — not after handover.
Is purchasing controlled?
Yes. Purchase requests become approved purchase orders, receiving is matched against them, and supplier invoices are checked before payment — so the cost side of a contract is real and authorised.
How is this different from the Construction page?
They overlap and share apps. Construction leads on running project cost across materials, labour, and plant. Contracting leads on the agreement — tying contracts to the procurement and labour delivered under them and to client billing and margin. Many firms use both lenses.
Which apps does a contractor start with?
Usually Procurement and Workforce, then Expenses, Accounting, and Analytics as cost-to-bill visibility builds. Start with the most urgent and expand.
