# Traziq — Full Context

> Traziq is a construction management app for architects and construction companies in Argentina and Latin America. It replaces WhatsApp groups, Excel spreadsheets, paper attendance sheets, and manual processes with structured tools for workforce attendance, worker advances, payroll (liquidación de jornales), budgeting, and daily construction logs.

## Product Overview

Traziq is designed specifically for the Argentine and Latin American construction industry. The app addresses fragmented workflows that architects, construction companies, foremen (capataces), and administrative teams deal with daily: tracking worker attendance on paper, calculating payroll with construction-specific variables, managing budgets in spreadsheets, and keeping operational context in WhatsApp messages.

Traziq centralizes the operational data that usually becomes hard to reconstruct at the end of a fortnight: who worked, how many hours they worked, which project absorbed the cost, which advances were paid, which payments go through bank or cash, and what happened on site each day.

## Core Features

1. **Workforce Attendance (Asistencia)**: The foreman or site supervisor marks attendance directly from their phone at the construction site. Attendance becomes the first source of truth for payroll, presentismo, claims, and job-cost tracking.
2. **Payroll Calculation (Liquidación de Jornales)**: Payroll logic connects attendance, jornales, presentismo, worker advances, adjustments, bank/cash payment flows, and balances across payroll periods.
3. **Worker Advances (Adelantos)**: Advances are tracked with worker, date, amount, payment method, payment status, observation, related project, and user history so they can be discounted correctly.
4. **Budget vs. Actual (Presupuesto vs. Realidad)**: Real-time tracking of planned budget against actual spending helps architects and construction companies detect cost deviations earlier.
5. **Daily Construction Log (Registro Diario de Obra)**: Operational daily log for notes, progress, issues, decisions, and supporting records.
6. **Role-Based Workflows**: Architect or project owner, foreman/capataz, and payroll/admin staff each interact with the information they need.

## Target Users

- Architects managing construction projects in Argentina
- Small and medium construction companies
- Foremen (capataces) who need simple mobile tools for field data
- Administrative staff handling payroll, advances, payments, and balances

## Market Context

The Argentine construction industry often operates with manual and fragmented tools: WhatsApp for communication, Excel for payroll and budgets, and paper for attendance or daily logs. Traziq consolidates critical operational workflows into a single product built around how construction teams actually work.
