# What will AGI do for Manage Progress Billing?

## Overview

General contractors and specialty subcontractors rely on progress billing to maintain cash flow across multi-month projects. They must generate pay applications that accurately reflect the percentage of work completed against a rigid schedule of values. This requires reconciling field execution, such as linear feet of pipe laid or framing completed, with complex contractual billing rules, retainage requirements, and previously billed amounts.

The disconnect between the job site and the back office makes this process highly combative and error-prone. Project managers manually estimate completion percentages, which architects or owners frequently dispute, triggering a cycle of rejected invoices and delayed payments. Finance teams then spend days chasing down lien waivers, site photos, and revised subcontractor pay applications to substantiate the requested amounts.

Standard accounting software and generic ERPs handle the financial ledger but lack mechanisms to verify physical project completion. Because existing tools cannot parse daily site logs, field imagery, or unstructured subcontractor updates into standardized billing formats, the translation from physical progress to a validated financial claim remains an entirely manual chokepoint.
