Real interface, in Spanish: the product is built for the Argentine market.

Context

Zōklo started with an architecture firm that, besides designing, manages its own construction work. It budgets, buys and bills in both pesos and dollars, and it needed a system built around that way of working. Today it is used by architecture firms that, like that first one, also manage their own construction work.

The problem

  1. Purchase receipts weren't logged on time. By the time someone noticed an expense still had to be reported or charged to the client, months had gone by and, with inflation, that money was gone.
  2. Each project, its calendar and its projections lived in separate spreadsheets.
  3. With site management taking up almost all their time, administration kept getting pushed to later.

What I built

  • Receipts logged on the spot

    A photo of the invoice or a voice note, and AI fills in the expense.

  • Every project in one place

    Budgets, expenses, client payments and projections for each project, in pesos and dollars, and everything can be exported to Excel whenever needed.

  • The firm's work, organized

    A workspace with tasks, notes and Google Calendar, plus client and contact follow-up in the same place.

In their words

“We used to find out too late about expenses we had to report or bill back to the client. Now we upload the receipt from the site with a photo and see it right away, in pesos and in dollars.”
