Virsa - Smarter Project and Contractor Management
Virsa is a purpose-built contractor management application developed by Astro Developments for electrical, plumbing, and general contractors across BC. Track every project, budget, employee, and subcontractor in one place, with your data hosted locally by us as your IT partner.
Running a Trades Business on Spreadsheets and Group Chats is Costing You Money
Most electrical, plumbing, and general contractors in BC manage their projects through a combination of spreadsheets, text messages, and memory. Crew assignments get missed. Budgets go untracked until it is too late. Subcontractor hours are disputed. Change orders get lost. Virsa was built to fix all of that, specifically for the way trades businesses in BC actually operate.
Everything You Need to Run Your Jobs and Your Team
Project Tracking
Track every active job from first quote to final invoice. See project status, assigned crew, timeline, and budget in real time.
Budget Management
Set project budgets, track actual costs against estimates, and get alerted before a job goes over budget. Know your margins before the job is done.
Employee and Crew Management
Assign crew members to jobs, track hours, manage certifications, and see who is available. Built for teams that work across multiple sites simultaneously.
Subcontractor Tracking
Manage subcontractor agreements, track their hours and invoices, and keep all their compliance documents in one place.
Document Storage
Store contracts, permits, change orders, site photos, and inspection reports against each project. Everything in one place, accessible from the field.
Canadian Payroll Features
Built for Canadian trades businesses with BC-specific features including T4 generation support, provincial tax calculations, and WorkSafeBC compliance documentation.
Built for the Way You Actually Work
From quoting a job to collecting payment, every screen is designed for trades contractors who need things done fast, not fancy.

Local Hosting by Astro Developments, Not a Faceless Cloud
Unlike generic SaaS platforms that store your business data on servers in the United States, Virsa clients who work with Astro Developments as their IT partner have their data hosted locally on hardware we manage for them in BC. Your project files, your employee records, and your financial data are all stored on infrastructure you can see and touch, managed by a local IT company you can actually call. This is not just a software subscription. It is a complete IT and business management partnership.
No US data storage. No surprise price increases. No vendor lock-in. Your data, your infrastructure, managed by a Surrey BC IT company that knows your business.
