ERP for General Contractors

As your general contracting services business grows, so will the complexity of your operations and business system requirements. You may have (or are planning to expand to have) multiple entities, operating in multiple locations. You probably have added additional layers of management and approvals. To manage all of this today and into the future you need a modern ERP software solution and a suitable implementation partner.

Reduce complexity

Many businesses are still using paper based or manual time capture. Many still manually schedule job assignments, scheduling, and warranties. Any growing business needs to consider an ERP [or Business Management] software solution to reduce or eliminate these manual or paper-based processes using standard or customised dashboards. The software should also be able to provide reporting that meets your specific business needs.

A path to revenue growth

There are two paths to growing your revenue. The first is to increase the value of each of your existing clients. The second is to grow your client base. A good ERP solution can help a business with both. By gaining greater visibility around existing client’s behaviours and spending habits, then providing digital solutions to help improve how your business communicates and connects, you can increase your revenue.

Empower your team in the field, on site and in the back office

Clear communication is the secret to your business’s success. When everyone is on the same page, working with the same real time information, following the same workflows then everything works like clockwork. An ERP software solution, allows you to breakdown the information silos in your organisation, while adding approvals based on your business rules. A single system that connects your entire business and is flexible enough to adapt to your changing needs. This can be the secret to your ongoing success and growth.

Remote and field-based access

Business teams need secure access to critical business information wherever they are. Field service teams need access and up to date data for customers when they’re onsite. They also need to record time, check stock and parts availability and warranty information. If your people are working off site on projects, they need real time, secure access to information to do their job effectively and efficiently. A quality ERP solution can allow your people to securely access real time business data from anywhere, from any device.

Improved planning and resource management

Your people are a finite resource. You want to work with them in a way that makes their lives easier, while improving your overall efficiency and profitability. Your business software must be able to make this simple. From digital calendar boards, to improved resource usage, optimising routing and better tracking of field operations. An ERP solution can improve the flow and efficiency of your business. Your team should also be able to capture detailed notes and images against individual work orders and clients.

Improved cashflow management

Reducing inventory can lead to increased working capital. When you can remove any delays in invoicing and improve collection, you can improve your cashflow. An efficient ERP provides these benefits, as well as customisable dashboards, reporting and alerts. Efficient General Ledger capabilities provide greater visibility and tracking of costs and revenue, providing actionable insights to help improve cashflow management.

Expansion

You may have, or plan soon to expand into other countries which may lead to multiple currencies. You may already operate multiple entities in the one company. You will need an ERP designed for mid-sized business with aspirations for global expansion.?
