ERP Software for Construction Businesses
With the construction sector continuing to grow, construction businesses face increasing pressure to complete projects faster and under tighter budgets, while meeting regulatory requirements and client expectations.
From managing logistics and transportation to coordinating contractors and subcontractors, every construction project handles multiple functions and moving parts. Managing the resources and timelines of multiple construction projects with outdated tools and manual systems can lead to errors, inconsistencies, and delays. Unprecedented project delays, miscommunication, and budget overruns are common challenges in the construction sector that can make matters overwhelming to handle.

Access a range of powerful features when using Business Central ERP for your construction business.
Job Costing & Budget Control
With Dynamics 365 Business Central, project managers can monitor budgets, track actual expenses, compare committed costs, and access real-time forecasts. This gives you full visibility into your project’s profitability, helping you stay on budget and deliver results on time.
Project Planning & Scheduling
Business Central allows you to effortlessly plan, schedule, and adjust your project tasks through capacity planning and task scheduling. Its integrative capabilities allow you to link activities to budgets and resources, so that your workforce is always aligned with the master schedule.
Subcontractor & Labour Management
An ERP system like Business Central, when customised for your construction business, can streamline your workforce and subcontractor management. You can closely monitor subcontractor contracts, payment milestones, and certifications. Manage workforce needs by assigning labour to tasks, tracking hours, and complying with workforce regulations.
Procurement & Inventory Management
Business Central can simplify and reduce manual intervention by automating purchase orders, managing supplier quotes, and tracking the delivery of materials across multiple job locations. Keep a close track of your inventory usage to avoid wastage through over-ordering.
Equipment & Asset Tracking
Construction sites rely on heavy equipment and machinery that must be available at the right site at the right time. Using an ERP allows you to track equipment availability, schedule maintenance, and allocate assets in a way that promotes optimal use and reduces downtime.
Invoicing, Payments & Retention Handling
Admin tasks can be time-consuming, but it’s important to keep accurate records of invoices and payments. Business Central’s features can automate client-based billing as and when your project crosses a milestone or a completion stage. All you need is one system to ensure timely contractor payments and manage retentions.
