Acumatica Construction Edition: Implementation and Consulting Services
Running your construction business efficiently and effectively is demanding work, whether you’re a general contractor, specialty contractor, subcontractor, land developer, or builder. You need technology solutions that put every piece of information at your fingertips to help you and your team thrive.
Your enterprise resource planning (ERP) system fills this role. Good construction ERP software will unite every corner of your business, from accounting to everyday management on the jobsite. With that said, not every ERP system is up to the job, and not every implementation partner will give you the experience you need.
Automatica Construction Edition is a cloud-based construction ERP solution specifically designed to encompass the project management, accounting, and field operations needs of businesses in this unique industry. Using this software effectively can drive:
- Streamlined everyday operations for your firm.
- Real-time visibility of all your data and assets.
- Improved profitability and a secure bottom line.
To make sure you achieve these benefits, you can pick Net at Work as your implementation and consulting partner. An ERP refresh is a great chance to improve the way your business functions, and you should be sure you’re making the most of the moment.
Why Acumatica Construction Edition?
Acumatica Construction Edition isn’t just another ERP software tool. The “Construction Edition” name isn’t just for show — its feature set is specifically tailored to solve the issues you deal with every day in the construction space.
One simple but important fact to note is that Acumatica Cloud ERP is a comprehensive tool that reaches across departments and teams. Your office personnel can use it to keep your books balanced while your field teams organize their daily work using the platform, and while project managers oversee the whole operation.
Some of the most demanding tasks in your day are simpler when handled through one consistent and convenient platform. These include:
- Project cost tracking and forecasting: Tracking real and projected costs through the lifespan of a project requires managing a wide variety of financial and operational data. Unifying information and departments through Acumatica construction software makes this easier, from accurate estimates to real-time updates.
- Subcontractor management: Having a single platform to act as a source of truth isn’t just valuable for your internal teams — it also helps you connect with all your subcontractors and clearly exchange data.
- Compliance reporting: Complying quickly and efficiently with regulations means having easy access to comprehensive and accurate data. This is what a centralized platform offers, especially one focused on construction industry data and functions.
- Communication with field staff on the jobsite: Mobile access is a key feature of Acumatica Construction Edition because it allows you to connect teams everywhere. It’s now easier than ever to loop in crews on a jobsite and ensure all teams are working from the same data.
In many cases, value comes back to Acumatica’s cloud architecture. Real-time updates from anywhere in your organization are instantly accessible to every other team. The cloud model is both scalable and flexible. Even better, the platform is compatible with other key business systems and adaptable to your unique workflows.
