The Connected Model for Heavy Civil Contractors

Connected by Design: Construction at Work

Net at Work partners with Sage Intacct Construction and Tractics to help heavy civil contractors connect field, fleet, finance and office. Job performance, cash, and margin stay visible across every crew, entity, and region. The result is a smarter flow of information from the jobsite to the back office, leading to better decisions while work is still happening.

Your margin gets lost in the gap between field and finance

For heavy highway and civil contractors, margin fade rarely happens all at once: It hides in the delays between the job site and the back office. Three pressures make those delays expensive.

Variable input costs

Purchases run more than half of revenue in this work, and steel, aggregate, and equipment prices keep shifting under active jobs. Unpredictable material costs and tariffs can eat into margins before finance even sees the field data.

WIP guesswork on long-cycle jobs

Managing work-in-progress for long-duration public jobs across multiple entities turns into a slow, error-prone process when it runs on spreadsheets. Cost-to-complete assumptions go stale faster than the team can update them.

Compliance and public work scrutiny

Audit trails and billing requirements for federal and state infrastructure projects drain time when support is spread across manual workflows. The documentation bar keeps rising, and weak records create real exposure.

Heavy Civil Construction at Work

Net at Work

Net at Work is North America’s #1 Sage partner, with 30 years implementing finance and operations systems for contractors who build public infrastructure. We’re proud to be Sage’s chosen partner for heavy civil construction, with a dedicated commitment to bringing infrastructure builders the right technology.

Sage for Construction

Sage Intacct Construction provides the financial system of record for job costing, WIP, billing, reporting, cash visibility, and multi-entity management. When operational data flows into finance, contractors gain earlier insight into job performance, cost trends, forecasts, and profitability.

Tractics

Tractics gives heavy civil contractors real-time visibility into field operations, equipment activity, crew productivity, production quantities, and jobsite execution. By capturing operational data where the work happens, Tractics creates the foundation for better project visibility and stronger field-to-office communication.

How We Put You Back in Control

  • See cost drift while you can still act on it Real-time job costing tracks labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs by job, phase, and location, so variances surface early enough for finance and operations to respond.
  • Close faster and plan across entities Automated WIP and multi-entity reporting replace spreadsheet rollups with current cash and backlog visibility across divisions and regions. One contractor moved bank reconciliations from ten days to same-day across 40 accounts, giving leadership a daily read on cash.
  • Hold up under public-work scrutiny Dimensional general ledger, audit trails, retainage handling, and construction billing produce compliance-ready financials and cleaner support for auditors, bonding partners, and agencies.
  • Connect the field to finance Open API integrations link production, labor, and jobsite activity to the financial core, so the office works from current data instead of manual handoffs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best heavy civil construction software for managing finance across multiple entities?

Icon Plus

For finance-led heavy civil work, Sage Intacct Construction is a strong fit because it connects job costing, work-in-progress, and multi-entity reporting in one real-time platform. Heavy and civil contractors run long-cycle public jobs under strict compliance, and generic accounting software leaves data scattered across spreadsheets. Sage Intacct Construction gives finance a single source of truth and connects to the operational tools crews already use.

Does Sage Intacct Construction work as heavy civil construction project management software?

Icon Plus

Sage Intacct Construction is the financial core, not a standalone project management or scheduling tool. Through its open API, it connects to heavy civil construction project management software and field platforms, so production, labor, and job progress flow back to finance without duplicate entry. That connection is what turns scattered field data into current job-cost and margin visibility.

Can it connect to our estimating, bidding, and time-tracking systems?

Icon Plus

Yes. Sage Intacct Construction is built to integrate with heavy civil construction estimating software, bidding software, and field time-tracking software through cloud-native open APIs. Net at Work configures those connections so your bid, field, and fleet data line up with your financials, which tightens cost-to-complete accuracy and reduces manual handoffs.

What is Tractics, and how does it work with Sage Intacct Construction?

Icon Plus

Tractics is a field-tracking app for heavy civil contractors that captures crew time, production quantities, and equipment usage at the jobsite, then feeds that data into Sage Intacct Construction. Its geofence-aware, big-button design is built for field crews, so an hour of labor ties to the right person, job, cost code, and task without anyone re-keying it. In the Construction at Work model, Tractics is the field layer, Sage Intacct Construction is the financial system of record, and Net at Work connects the two so finance works from current jobsite data instead of waiting on manual handoffs.

Why choose Net at Work for a Sage Intacct Construction implementation?

Icon Plus

Net at Work is North America’s #1 Sage partner and Sage’s chosen partner for the heavy/civil vertical. We go beyond ERP implementation with CRM, HR, and Zero Trust managed IT from one firm. If a previous ERP implementation stalled, our dedicated Rescue practice is built to get the project back on track.

How does Sage Intacct handle field-to-office integration for civil contractors?

Icon Plus

Sage Intacct integrates seamlessly with field management software like Tractics. This bi-directional integration automatically pushes field logs, crew time, production quantities, and equipment usage directly into the ERP, eliminating manual double-entry and ensuring accurate, real-time financial data.

Can Sage Intacct track heavy equipment and fleet costs accurately?

Icon Plus

Yes. By connecting field operations to Sage Intacct, heavy/civil contractors can track equipment utilization and maintenance costs in real-time. This provides complete visibility into how fleet expenses impact overall job profitability.

Is Sage Intacct a better fit than legacy on-premise software for mid-market construction firms?

Icon Plus

A: As mid-market construction businesses grow, legacy on-premise systems and spreadsheets often create data silos. Sage Intacct is a modern, cloud-native ERP that delivers real-time visibility, automated workflows, and scalable architecture, allowing firms to manage complex operations without IT bottlenecks.

How does Net at Work approach a Sage Intacct implementation for heavy/civil companies?

Icon Plus

Net at Work uses an outcome-oriented approach backed by 30 years of vertical expertise. The process involves defining the strategic roadmap, configuring the software specifically for heavy/civil requirements, and providing ongoing support or co-managed IT services to ensure long-term success.
