Ils gèrent leurs chantiers avec DiasporaBuild
Des entrepreneurs et entreprises de BTP dans toute l'Afrique.
« Avant, je gérais mes chantiers sur WhatsApp et Excel. Avec DiasporaBuild, mes clients de la diaspora voient l'avancement en photos et je suis payé à chaque jalon validé. Zéro litige depuis 8 mois. »
« Le job costing en temps réel a changé notre rentabilité : chaque dépense est liée à une tâche. On a réduit nos dépassements de budget de 30 % sur nos trois derniers chantiers. »
« L'app terrain fonctionne même sans réseau sur nos sites. Mes chefs de chantier envoient rapports et photos chaque soir, tout se synchronise automatiquement. »
« Les paiements par jalons et les inspections indépendantes rassurent nos investisseurs. C'est devenu un argument commercial pour vendre nos programmes sur plan. »
« Le Mobile Money intégré est un game changer : mes clients locaux paient les factures d'avancement directement depuis leur téléphone, sans passer par la banque. »
« Du devis au PV de réception signé, tout est centralisé. Le portail client nous fait gagner des heures d'appels et de reporting chaque semaine. »
