Use cases

Six ways it pays you back

Not another feature, but money saved or recovered. Every use case rests on the same data: what already happens in your meetings and documents, caught before it turns into a cost.

01
🔎 Choosing the right tenders
Before Petra

The bid is submitted on gut feel and experience, and a problematic retention or penalty clause is discovered only after you have already won and signed.

With Petra

The tender is scanned before the bid is submitted, and Petra returns a clear recommendation with a financial exposure picture, so the decision whether to bid is made with full information.

The impact: Saves the entire cost of preparing a bid on a deal you would not have taken had you known about the problematic clause in advance.
02
⏱️ Preventing delay penalties
Before Petra

A schedule risk is mentioned verbally at a site meeting, and unless someone escalates it explicitly, it is forgotten until the penalty is already running.

With Petra

Every mention of a blocker or a delay in the minutes automatically becomes a documented risk with a severity and a financial impact, the moment it is written.

The impact: A typical delay penalty on a mid size project reaches tens of thousands per day. Catching it a few days earlier already changes the financial outcome.
03
💸 Stopping scope leakage
Before Petra

A scope change is carried out on site based on a verbal agreement, and gets paid only if someone remembers to issue a signed change order, usually after the work is already done.

With Petra

Scope changes mentioned in documents are recorded as a risk the moment they come up, while a signed change order can still be issued before the work is done.

The impact: Every undocumented scope change is work done for free. Catching it in real time turns it into approved, billable work and recovers margin.
04
⚖️ Protection in disputes
Before Petra

When a dispute or a claim arrives, proof that someone was notified or approved something rests on people's memory and on correspondence scattered between WhatsApp and email.

With Petra

A documented, timestamped audit trail for every assignment, notification and approval exists by default, and is not rebuilt after the fact when there is already a problem.

The impact: A documented audit trail is real evidence in a claim or an arbitration, exactly when it is needed most.
05
🔁 Returning management hours
Before Petra

The project manager spends hours every week compiling reports, chasing updates, and writing a manual summary for every meeting.

With Petra

The weekly report, the work plan and the meeting summary are generated automatically the moment the documents are uploaded, and arrive ready for free editing before sending.

The impact: 3 to 6 hours a week return to the project manager, time that can go back to actually managing the site.
06
🏗️ Real estate feasibility
Before Petra

The decision to buy land or sign an urban renewal deal rests on a spreadsheet someone built two years ago, with a formula nobody remembers, for how it calculates VAT, financing or developer fees.

With Petra

You enter rights and areas, costs and sale assumptions, and Petra calculates profit, margin, return on cost and break even, net of VAT, and returns a clear decision: positive profitability, conditional, or negative profitability. Today the feasibility engine covers Israeli deals, including urban renewal.

The impact: You know whether the deal pays before you sign and before money goes out, with a PDF report ready to share with partners and the bank.
