Stop paying from memory on Saturday, stop typing delivery notes by hand, and stop finding out about an overspend once it has happened. Ochanti works the pay out from actual attendance, reads the supplier's note from a photo, and warns you before the site eats your margin.
A notebook records what happened. What you need on Saturday is an answer.
These are the problems a contractor lives through every week, and what the app does with them.
On Saturday you pay from memory and from a scratched-out notebook. A worker who missed two days collects a full week, and nobody notices.
Pay = days actually worked × daily rate (half a day counts 0.5), minus the advances you handed out during the week. The number is waiting for you on Saturday morning.
Supplier notes pile up in the car and in your pocket, entered late at night — or never.
Photograph the note. The app reads it and pulls out the supplier, the date and every material with quantity, unit and price. You check the lines and save them in one go.
You find out the site ate the budget after it ate it — and the difference comes out of your own margin.
A chart splits your spending across labour, materials and other costs against the budget, with an alert at 80% and another when you go over — offline, and with no account.
The same supplier is written three different ways in three notebooks, and you no longer know exactly what you owe.
One supplier, one running balance. Select the unpaid items, tap “Paid”, and export their statement as a PDF whenever they ask.
A quote scribbled on a sheet of paper, and an invoice you keep putting off for a week.
Eight PDF documents on your letterhead: site report, daily report, payroll sheet, receipt, invoice, quote, purchase order and supplier statement.
Two sites in two cities, and you spend the day on the phone asking: who turned up? what was delivered? how much was spent?
Create a supervisor account per site. They record attendance, materials and expenses, and you get a notification on every important action — without them ever seeing your clients, invoices or accounts.
Real screens from the app, and the numbers that come out of them.
Present, half day or absent: one tap per worker. The week’s pay is worked out from the days actually worked, advances come off by themselves, and the pay sheet exports as a PDF.
The client contract, what you have collected, what you have spent on materials, expenses and workers: one card, with the share of the budget used. An alert at 80%, another when it is exceeded.
“How much did I spend this month?” “What do I owe this week?” The assistant reads your sites’ data and answers as a clear table, and changes nothing until you confirm.
Work done, attendance, materials received, expenses, up to 12 photos and your signature, on your company letterhead. Eight more documents work the same way: invoice, quote, receipt, pay sheet…
Four things that take up most of your day. Here is what each one becomes.
Simple, strong tools arranged the way you think — no complicated spreadsheets, no accounting.
Record attendance with one tap: present, half day, or absent. A daily worker's pay is calculated over a Monday-to-Saturday week from the days actually worked, with advances deducted automatically; a monthly worker is paid on the date you set. The weekly payroll sheet exports to PDF.
Take a picture of the supplier's delivery note: the app extracts the supplier, the date and every line with its quantity, unit and price. You review it on one screen and save it all at once.
Record every purchase and track each supplier's balance and debt in one place. Plus a price history built from your own purchases, split by unit so a bag is never compared with a kilo.
Site report, daily report, weekly payroll sheet, receipt, client invoice, quote, purchase order and supplier statement — in one tap, in the language you pick for each file.
Inside a project: a chart splits labour, materials and other costs against the budget. Across all your projects: one screen with your net balance, what clients owe you, supplier debt and what workers are owed. With alerts at 80% of budget, on overspend, and before a monthly salary falls due.
Work done, attendance, materials received, expenses, notes and visitors — with the weather pulled automatically from the project's city, up to 12 photos, and a signature drawn with your finger. It saves itself while you type.
Concrete, slab, blocks, tiling, paint and steel. Enter the dimensions and the waste percentage and you get quantities and an estimated cost — and one button logs the result as a material in your project.
Ask about your own project numbers in your own language (“how much do I owe this week?”) and it answers from your data, not from generic advice. Nothing is changed until you confirm it.
Your data is stored on your phone first and all of it works with no network. Lock the app with a PIN or your fingerprint. And if you sign in, every change syncs to the cloud automatically — anything recorded offline queues up and uploads as soon as the connection returns.
The same screens you see on Google Play.
The app walks you through five short steps: your language, your name and your company name (they appear on your invoices), then your first project with its budget, then your workers — up to ten at once.
Photograph the delivery note and the app reads it, filling in the materials, the supplier and the prices for you. Tap attendance, add expenses — straight from the site, with no connection.
Export a professional PDF — site report, payroll sheet or invoice — choose its language, then send it to the client or your partner on WhatsApp in seconds.

Ochanti is an Android construction site management app built for building contractors. It tracks workers, attendance and pay, material purchases and supplier debt, and the expenses and budget of each site, and it exports share-ready PDF reports and invoices in Arabic, French or English.
No. Every core feature — workers, attendance, materials, expenses, reports, alerts, calculators — works fully offline and is stored on your phone. Internet is only needed for the optional cloud features: team accounts, sync across devices, and reading delivery notes from a photo.
Yes. Ochanti is free to download and use from Google Play, with no hidden fees and no ads inside the app.
Over a Monday-to-Saturday week: amount = days actually worked × daily rate (a half day counts as 0.5), minus the advances and payments handed over during that week. The result appears in the weekly payroll sheet and exports to PDF.
Five currencies: Moroccan dirham MAD, Algerian dinar DZD, Tunisian dinar TND, euro EUR and US dollar USD. And three complete languages: Arabic (right-to-left), French and English, with a per-document language choice for every PDF.
No. The app works completely without an account and without internet. An account is optional and only unlocks team and supervisor features plus sync across your devices.
Ochanti is on Google Play now. Download it, create your first project in two minutes, and pay the right number on Saturday.
