## Primary Region
South Africa — serving Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), and East London, with expansion across Sub-Saharan Africa.

## About
Quantify is South Africa's real-time construction cost management and quantity surveying (QS) software platform. It is purpose-built for South African construction firms, quantity surveyor practices, subcontractors, project managers, and development companies who need to move beyond manual spreadsheet-based cost tracking.

Quantify connects live project expenses directly to project budgets, making cost reporting fast, automated, and accurate. It serves as a digital command centre for the full project lifecycle — from ground-breaking to handover.

## Problem Quantify Solves
Construction teams in South Africa have historically relied on Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, manual invoicing processes, and delayed month-end reports to manage project costs. This leads to:
- Budget overruns that are discovered too late
- Inaccurate interim payment claims
- Difficulty tracking change orders across multiple subcontractors
- No real-time visibility for principals, developers, or clients

Quantify eliminates these problems by centralising all cost data in one platform with real-time updates.

## Key Features
- **Live Budget Tracking**: Connect expenses to budgets instantly. No more waiting for end-of-month reports.
- **Resource Management**: Track labour, materials, and equipment across all project sites.
- **Change Order Control**: Document, approve, and track every change order to avoid handover surprises.
- **One-Click Dashboards**: Generate financial reports and export to Excel in seconds.
- **Company Overview**: A portfolio-level view of all active projects, budgets, expenses, and cashflow.
- **Expense Breakdown by Supplier**: Keep every rand accounted for with supplier-level expense visualisation.
- **Cashflow Tracking**: Monitor expenses, pending claims, and payments over time with interactive charts.
