Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) & Digital Approval Bundle | Contractor & Subcontractor Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) Suite
Construction Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) & Portal Bundle | Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) Automation Suite
The Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) Portal extends the Interim Payment Certificate Management module by providing customers with secure online access to their IPC documents through the Odoo portal. It enables contractors, subcontractors, consultants, and clients to review certified work, monitor payment progress, download certificates, and digitally sign IPCs without requiring backend access. An Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) is an essential document in construction project management that certifies the value of completed work during a specific billing period. It serves as the basis for progressive payments while considering retention amounts, advance payment recoveries, approved variations, and other contractual adjustments. By providing transparent payment certification, IPCs help maintain healthy project cash flow and strengthen financial accountability among all project stakeholders. This module enhances the IPC workflow by integrating secure digital signatures directly into the customer portal. Customers can sign IPCs using Draw, Auto, or Load signature methods, with signatures securely stored and automatically displayed in both the portal and the backend. Internal users can also sign IPCs from the backend whenever required, creating a complete and efficient approval process. The portal-based workflow minimizes paperwork, reduces manual communication, speeds up certificate approval, and provides a centralized location for managing Interim Payment Certificates throughout the project lifecycle.
