Captech Technologies PvtLtd., a construction-technology company whose solutions are trusted by leading infrastructure firms across India, today relaunched its Captech eFORCE platform, the first Labour Management App designed specifically for labour contractors in IndiaThe Made in India, AI-assisted solution deploys construction labour 5x faster than traditional methods and uniquely offers workers repeated job opportunities under the same construction company, fostering stability and long-term engagement.
As the first-ever labour contractor management app in the market, Captech eFORCE addresses critical inefficiencies in workforce mobilizationCompared to traditional methods, it makes labour deployment 5x faster and increases deployment capacity 8x, so far more workers can be mobilised in less timeBuilt to scale to lakhs of contractors, the platform includes dedicated training programs to onboard contractors, many of whom are not tech-savvy, through AI-assisted phone calls and WhatsApp messagesThe result: labour deployment is much faster, project timelines accelerate, and contractors gain consistent income streams while construction companies secure reliable manpower supply.
Captech eFORCE went live in 2020 as a labour marketplace, and that part remainsA developer or contractor posts a requirement with the BOQ, drawings, scope and timelines attachedLabour contractors apply with their credentialsPAN, GST and bank details are checked on the platform before the work is awardedAfter that, work orders, crew deployment and Digital Daily Progress Reports are handled in the same placeThe senior management assigned to the project get a clear view across multiple sites showing bottlenecks and crew shortage if any.
Captech eFORCE currently works with over 5,000 labour contractors impacting close to 5,00,000 blue-collar workforces, across 30+ projects across India.
Speaking about the relaunch, Asutosh Katyal, Founder & CEO, Captech Technologies, said, “Most contractors we work with have one recurring worry, and it is the billHas it been certified, and when will the money come? Until now the only way to find out was to keep calling the site officeAfter this relaunch the contractor and the project team look at the same record, and it ties into the ERP the company already usesWe started out as a place to find laborCaptech eFORCE is now the platform on which a construction job is run, from the work order to the final payment.”
On most Indian sites, a lot of this still happens over the phoneUpdates go out on WhatsApp and end up in spreadsheets, if they are recorded at allFor a contractor with crews on several projects, finding out whether a bill has been certified usually means calling someoneThen calling again.
The relaunch goes after that problem directlyKharchi (the advance paid to workers for daily expenses) and running account (RA) bills are tracked from the day they are submitted, and the contractor can check at any point whether a bill is still being processed or has been cleared for paymentProject teams on the company side see every pending bill across their sites in a single list.
For construction companies, there’s no need to change the ERP they already use, because Captech eFORCE connects to it directlyWhatever is recorded on the platform, whether a work order, a progress report or a bill, goes into the company’s ERP on its ownNobody on site has to type it in a second time.
The app also offers onboarding through AI-assisted phone calls and WhatsApp messages for contractors who are not comfortable with technologyApart from onboarding, this also serves a dual functionality by sending them reminders and keeping them updated on their workThe platform is currently operational in multiple languages including English, Hindi, Marathi and Bangla.
