In construction and renovation, money and project control fall apart for one simple reason: the real work happens on site, while the “accounting” happens later in chats, spreadsheets, and memory. A receipt gets lost, a payment sits in a messenger thread, and the project balance turns into guesswork.
Приложение 101 was created as a mobile center for management accounting by projects: each project has its own balance with customer payments, actual expenses, profit, and debts. The point is to capture financial events where they happen and keep the numbers consistent for the whole team.
This article explains, in plain language, what Приложение 101 is for and which functions matter in daily work (as of 23 December 2025). If you run projects, manage foremen, buy materials, sign acts, or report to customers, you will recognize the pain points.
What is Приложение 101 used for?
Приложение 101 is a mobile app built for construction and renovation teams that want clear project economics: how much money came in, where it went, what is left, and what the project earned.
It helps when you have several active objects and a lot of small operations: advances from customers, materials, subcontractors, wages, returns, and additional work. The app ties these events to a specific project so you can see the real financial picture without chasing people for updates.
Many teams start with one project in the app to get the workflow right, then scale it across the company. If you want broader context on why “mobile-first” matters for field teams, read Мобильность для строителей.
Projects, cash flow, and the “one source of truth”
The core idea is simple: each project has its own financial balance. You record customer payments, expenses, debts, and profit inside the project, so you can evaluate profitability per object and stop guessing where the margin went.
This approach is especially helpful when your company grows from “a couple of objects” to a pipeline with foremen, supply, and several crews. A spreadsheet can still work for one person, yet it breaks when many people input data late or inconsistently.
In Приложение 101, the team can report from a smartphone, and management sees updated numbers without waiting for an end-of-week summary. This reduces the time gap between a real purchase and its appearance in accounting.

Estimates and price lists: faster quotes, fewer mistakes
Estimates are where many teams lose money: a missed line item, an outdated price, a manual formula error, a different version sent to the customer. Приложение 101 solves this by keeping calculations inside the system and generating clear documents.
A practical workflow looks like this: you build an estimate from your price list, send it as a PDF, then continue the project with the same “source of truth” used in reporting. The price list becomes a shared base for the team and a consistent reference for customers and subcontractors.

There is also an “online estimate constructor” approach where different roles contribute: a master estimates their scope, a manager merges it into one document, and the customer can follow approvals inside the app. Details are covered in Сервис для составления сметы онлайн.
Receipts, expenses, and accountability for money on site
Site expenses are the hardest part to control because they are frequent and fast. Приложение 101 focuses on capturing them with context: project, category, date, and supporting documents.
One of the most useful functions is receipt handling via QR scanning. Instead of manually typing data from a paper receipt into a table, your team scans it, keeps it inside the project, and the expense becomes traceable in reports.
When you combine this with project balances, you get daily clarity: how much was issued, how much was spent, which expenses need confirmation, and which payments are pending. That is the foundation for a calm audit of your numbers and clean management accounting.

Customer-facing reports and documents
Customers pay with more confidence when reporting is clear. Приложение 101 generates understandable PDF reports that you can send to a customer, and it keeps the supporting evidence (expenses, receipts, photos) inside the project.
Another important layer is formal documentation. In construction, paperwork timing matters: acts and related documents should be created when the work is done, while details are still fresh. A mobile workflow helps teams keep documents up to date.
Depending on your process, you can create acceptance documents directly in the system (including KС-2 acts) and keep everything structured for future disputes or audits. If you want the legal-side context, start with статью про подтверждение событий и простую электронную подпись.
Приложение 101 also supports “invite the customer into the project” logic. It changes the conversation: the customer sees updates in the same space where you calculate and report, so fewer questions return to “where did the money go?”.
PRO+ and analytics when you grow
At early stages, many teams need one thing: accurate project accounting. As you grow, company-level questions appear: shared overhead, partner profit distribution, reserve funds, and branded documents for a consistent customer experience.
PRO+ adds these tools: company funds for general expenses and profit allocation, expanded reports, document branding, and event history export. This is helpful when you manage many projects and want to see the business as one system, with clear rules for partners and teams.
