   • Site visits booked with reminders, a GPS check-in and photos of the plot

  • Their wage slip on WhatsApp

279 of 380 features are in the core build; 71 are add-ons, 29 come later, and 1 is a standing rule.

• One system for the office, the site and the client

  Office staff work in any browser. Site engineers and supervisors use the site app on a phone or a tablet. Clients open their portal from a WhatsApp link. Everyone works on the same records.

• Made for weak signals

  Daily reports, attendance, photos, deliveries and petty cash are saved on the phone first and sent when the network returns. Photos are made smaller, and a low-data mode keeps mobile bills down.

• Live view from the site's own cameras

  A small relay box on site sends a camera's picture to our server only while someone is watching. Snapshots build the time-lapse, and the recordings stay on the site's own recorder.

• Hosted where it should be

  Lintora runs on the Xale platform, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) (reported by our team). Your workspace is kept apart from every other, and Xale's team helps inside your workspace when you ask for onboarding or support, as xale.in describes it. Hosting inside a Gulf country is arranged for your build and confirmed in your quote, in writing, before you sign. We have set up none yet. A Gulf project's camera relay sits in the same country as its data.

• Backups every night

  Every night we copy your records, photos, drawings and snapshots, and we check that a restore works.

• Logins that match the job

  Each person has their own login and sees only their projects and their role's screens; owners and accounts use two-step login. Every money entry keeps who changed it, when, and what it said before.

• Your data stays yours

  Everything in Lintora is customisable: fields, pipelines, roles, modules, automations and reports. Your data and your configuration are yours, exportable any time, in a workspace in your company's name.

  Built by the team behind Marketlube

  Xale CRM

  Xale is a CRM for study abroad consultancies and academies, made by Xale Private Limited in Kozhikode. It runs as a web app and an Android app. Each staff role has its own follow-ups. Access is set by stage, branch and field. Students follow their applications in a portal, and every number in a report opens the leads behind it.

  Xale AI, the assistant inside Xale CRM, answers by chat or on a live voice call, as xale.in describes it. Xale's telecaller is an AI voice agent built into Xale CRM that runs the call in Malayalam or English, as xale.in describes it. Someone on the team opens it on one student and hands the phone over. In xale.in's words, 'It is a call with that person, not a list being dialled.'

• ReelsBuddy's ERP

  ReelsBuddy, a Marketlube company

  ReelsBuddy's ERP

  ReelsBuddy is our own video production company. We built its whole ERP: leads and sales, a production board, accounts, HR and hiring, and reports. It is one web app made for phones, and it installs like an app. Staff roles and daily attendance are in it too. Its team also uses a private mobile app we built on the same system, as our team reports. It has sales, projects, HR, and accounts and auditing. That app is private, so we describe it here and do not show it.

  Read the case study→

1. Step 1

   Within about 2 weeks

   A first working draft with your projects, cost codes, teams and one of your BOQs, for you to click through.

2. Step 2

   Weeks 3 to 5

   The full core: office, site app and client portal, with every role's login. Message templates go to Meta for review, and the camera relay goes in at your first site. The relay is added on top of the platform for your build. It would be our first camera relay, and your first site is where you test it.

3. Step 3

   Weeks 6 and 7

   Your projects, BOQs, suppliers, workers and opening balances come across from Excel, and your team runs real days on it.

4. Step 4

   By week 8

   Live, with each role trained on its own screens.

5. Step 5

   Then

   Add-ons on their own timelines: Ask Lintora 4 to 6 weeks; the Gulf payroll pack 3 to 4 weeks, with a test file at your bank; Arabic 4 to 6 weeks; developer sales 4 to 6 weeks.

• Ask Lintora, the AI assistant

  Plain questions about your projects, costs, bills and stock; the reasons behind a cost overrun; the weekly client update drafted for the PM; a Confirm before it changes anything

  From INR 1,50,000 · AED, QAR or SAR 8,000 · KWD 650 · OMR or BHD 800. Takes 4 to 6 weeks

  In the Gulf, it starts once your adviser confirms where your data may be processed.

• Site reports by voice

  The engineer speaks, and AI fills in the daily report for the engineer to check and send

  From INR 50,000 · AED, QAR or SAR 2,500 · KWD 200 · OMR or BHD 250. Takes 2 to 4 weeks

  English first; Malayalam and Hindi once it handles your own engineers' recordings well.

• WhatsApp enquiry assistant

  Replies to new enquiries on your WhatsApp number, collects the plot details and books site visits

  From INR 50,000 · AED, QAR or SAR 4,000 · KWD 330 · OMR or BHD 400. Takes 2 to 3 weeks

  It hands the chat to your sales team as soon as price comes up, and never promises a figure.

• Live site view: each further site

  Live view, snapshots, time-lapse and the viewing log for one more active site, up to 8 cameras on one recorder

  From INR 1,000 · AED, QAR or SAR 250 · KWD 20 · OMR or BHD 25 a month. Takes from the month the site connects

  The relay box, the site's internet and any new camera are at cost. Switch a site off when it closes. On a Saudi site, clients watch only after your lawyer agrees.

• Gulf payroll pack, one country

  Your country's salary file (WPS, Mudad or LMRA), end of service gratuity, leave salary, air tickets and the summer midday break in attendance

  From AED, QAR or SAR 5,000 · KWD 400 · OMR or BHD 500. Takes 3 to 4 weeks, with a test file at your bank

  The first file is tested with your bank or exchange house before go-live. Kuwait's pack is quoted until we have read the new system's file rules.

• Lintora in Arabic

  Right-to-left screens for staff, site teams and clients; quotations, orders, payment certificates, statements and letters in Arabic and English

  From AED, QAR or SAR 10,000 · KWD 800 · OMR or BHD 1,000. Takes 4 to 6 weeks

  A native Arabic writer writes every line; no translation tool.

• Developer sales

  Unit grid, bookings, payment plans, demand letters after each stage, the buyer ledger, brokers and a buyer portal; in India, RERA quarterly drafts and the 70% account

  From INR 2,00,000 · AED, QAR or SAR 10,000 · KWD 800 · OMR or BHD 1,000. Takes 4 to 6 weeks

  Lintora drafts the RERA update from the quarter's site reports, and you file it. Dubai off-plan fields are quoted.

• Online payments, one gateway

  Clients pay a stage bill from a link or the portal: UPI and cards in India, KNET in Kuwait, cards across the Gulf, and each payment lands on its bill

  From INR 25,000 · AED, QAR or SAR 1,500 · KWD 120 · OMR or BHD 150. Takes 1 to 2 weeks

  Gateway fees at cost. Lintora Core already prints a UPI QR and your bank details on every bill.

• Client app in the stores

  The client portal in the App Store and Google Play under your company's name, from your own developer accounts, with notifications

  From INR 1,00,000 · AED, QAR or SAR 5,000 · KWD 400 · OMR or BHD 500. Takes 3 to 5 weeks, with store review

  Apple and Google charge their own yearly fees, billed to your accounts. The site app stays an installable web app.

• Each further branch

  Another office or region with its own number series, stores, bank accounts, staff and reports, and one view across all of them

  From INR 25,000 · AED, QAR or SAR 1,500 · KWD 120 · OMR or BHD 150. Takes about 1 week

  A project is never a branch: the core runs any number of projects.

• Each further company in your group

  A sister company with its own books, tax numbers, letterheads and number series, sharing items, suppliers and workers under one login

  From INR 50,000 · AED, QAR or SAR 2,500 · KWD 200 · OMR or BHD 250. Takes 1 to 2 weeks

  A company in another country also needs that country's payroll pack and hosting.

• E-invoicing link

  Bills handed to your accredited provider in the UAE, to your Fatoora solution in Saudi Arabia, or to Fawtara in Oman

  Quoted

  Quoted once we have seen your provider's connection. Lintora hands the invoice over; it is not an e-invoicing engine of its own.

• Tally export

  Vouchers sent to the Tally your accountant already keeps

  Quoted

  Quoted for your Tally set-up.

• Camera services, GPS trackers and face attendance

  Links to construction camera services, GPS trackers on machines, and face attendance at the gate

  Quoted

  Each depends on the maker's terms and hardware, so each is quoted.
