Why choose Acumatica ERP?

How Acumatica Construction Solves Your Challenges

After decades of work with hundreds of construction clients, we’ve seen firsthand the construction industry’s resilience and competitive nature. The key to success? Spotting inefficiencies, tackling issues head-on, and using the right tools. Here’s how Acumatica can help you clear the roadblocks.

Acumatica Construction ERP - Construction Management

Project Perfect

The Challenge

Your construction projects may suffer from poor visibility and lack of real-time data, making it difficult to manage timelines, resources, and costs effectively. This can lead to project delays and cost overruns.

The Solution

Acumatica Construction ERP offers a robust Project Management module that delivers real-time insights into every aspect of a construction project, from timelines and resource allocation to granular costs. With tools for tracking progress, managing tasks, and overseeing multiple projects simultaneously, Acumatica ensures that you have the visibility they need to keep projects on track. Set up dashboards and reporting tools that give you instant access to critical project data to help you make informed decisions and avoid costly delays.

Time is Money, Track it All

The Challenge

Maintaining control over project costs and budgets is a significant challenge in the construction industry. You can’t measure what you can’t see. Without accurate cost tracking and budget management, your projects can quickly become unprofitable, and you may lack the visibility even to know you’re in the red.

The Solution

Acumatica’s Job Costing and Budget Management modules allow you to track project costs in real-time, comparing them against budgets, actuals and forecasting future expenses – helping you identify potential cost overruns early and take corrective action. Empower your team to monitor and control project finances, leading to improved profitability.

All Tools, Altogether

The Challenge

You, like many construction companies, might use a variety of tools for estimating, accounting, and project management – tools you love and want to keep. Lack of integration between these systems can result in data silos, inefficiencies, and errors.

The Solution

Acumatica offers powerful integration capabilities, facilitating a seamless connection between all software systems used in construction, such as CRM, estimating tools, and accounting software. This ensures data flows smoothly between systems, reducing manual data entry and minimizing errors. Centralized data gives you a strong basis for decision-making.

Keeping Up with Compliance

The Challenge

Managing compliance with industry regulations, sustainability targets or safety controls, and ensuring accurate documentation across projects are ongoing challenges for construction companies. Failure to comply can result in costly penalties and legal issues, and can impact quality of your projects.

The Solution

Acumatica’s compliance and document management features automate the tracking of compliance requirements, simplify reporting, and provide a centralized repository for all project documents. Set up document management workflows that keep your project documentation organized and easily accessible, reducing the risk of non-compliance and leading to easy auditing.
