Stage payment tracking for project businesses

Money you’ve earned but haven’t claimed.

StageVO tracks every stage of your projects, from inspection to delivery to handover, and tells you what to invoice and when. Including the retention money that’s easy to forget.

How it works

Every stage of the job is tied to the payment it unlocks.

The moment a stage is reached, the payment becomes claimable. Retention dates are worked out from the actual delivery date, so nothing waits on someone’s memory.

Payments linked to stages

Every project stage is linked to the payment it unlocks, built from what was actually sold.

Reminders before money is due

Retention and final payments get a reminder before they fall due, so they stop slipping.

Works with your accounts

StageVO works alongside Tally, Zoho or your current accounts. Nothing to replace.

Story · ATCO

StageVO was born on a shop floor.

ATCO builds heavy equipment for steel, power and mining plants, and gets paid in stages: advance, drawings, dispatch, commissioning, retention. Orders lived in spreadsheets, PDFs and people’s memory, and payments slipped. We built one system that links every stage of the work to the money it unlocks.

ATCO is our sister company, so we built it inside a live business, with the people who use it every day.

Questions

What people ask before the first call.

What is StageVO?

StageVO is web software for project-billed businesses in India. It links every stage of a project, from drawing approval and inspection to dispatch, commissioning and handover, to the payment that stage unlocks, and tells your accounts team what to invoice and when.

Who is StageVO for?

Businesses that are paid in stages: engineering manufacturers and machine builders, fabricators, construction and EPC contractors, solar companies, interior fit-out firms, consultancies and agencies. If your orders run for weeks or months and your customer pays as the work progresses, StageVO fits.

Do we have to replace Tally or our accounting software?

No. Tally, Zoho Books or your current accounts keep the books. StageVO covers what happens before and after an invoice: stages, claims, retention, bank guarantees, TDS and the GST part of each invoice, until the money is in.

How does StageVO track retention money?

Retention is held against each order with its percentage and period. The release date is worked out from the actual delivery or commissioning date, not the planned one, and StageVO reminds you before it falls due, so retention is claimed on time instead of forgotten.

How much does StageVO cost?

Plans start at ₹6,000 a month for Essentials, with Professional at ₹10,000 and Business at ₹15,000. Dedicated starts at ₹25,000 a month. Prices are per company, not per user, and exclude GST. Founding prices are lower for the first ten companies.

Where is our data stored, and can we take it with us?

Data is stored in India. Your data is not used to train any AI model. You can export all your records as a readable spreadsheet at any time, and if you leave you take everything with you.

How do our people sign in?

With your company's Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace accounts. Each person sees only what their role allows: a works supervisor can mark stages without seeing order values, while accounts and owners see the amounts.

Who makes StageVO?

StageVO is a product of Yudiserve Technologies Private Limited, Kolkata. It was built inside ATCO, our sister company, which makes material handling equipment for steel, power and mining plants and runs on StageVO every day.
