Yes, not only does ILLUMYS capture the labour, equipment and materials (LEM) usage, it can also capture progress and unit rate completion amounts. For unit rate contracts, you can store the unit rates and planned amounts in ILLUMYS and capture the quantities used and completed against each item. For lump sum projects, you can capture the progress completed against each item and compare that to the plan while invoicing for the progress that’s been completed.

Once it’s approved you can use our Reverse Invoicing capability to immediately pay them for the work they submitted to you. This means there is no further delay waiting for invoices to be submitted and independently approved. You have already approved them and the contractors get paid faster!
