Tailored ERP solution can lead to

1.    Maximum utilization of company resources
2.    Attain maximum productivity
3.    Effective communication between all departments

What these construction companies could typically expect from a tailor made ERP solution is

•    Track project budgets. To track at an individual project level and at a summary level.
2. To be able record major project tasks over the duration of the project.
3. Accountability at each level of project progress
4. A system with the least amount of human intervention this is not limited to:
a. Tracking the project progress
b. Tracking the production and utilization of resources
c. To send alerts for delay or problems halting the project progress.
5. Each Project phase must be divided into segments for the aiding accountability at every stage. (More on this later in finance)
6. Dashboards and metrics to monitor each level of project progress.
7. Alerts to indicate and to remind the project manager if the project is not on schedule
8. Maintain log on project issues for record keeping and resolution.
9. To have a built in work flow so that it is easy for the user to know what is to be
done next for each task required.

Better resource utilization

idea posted by Ajay Joshi President & CEO, ERP Consultants India

If construction industry follows good business practices, following are the areas that ERP can help them

 - Reduced working capital needs - This can be achieved using multiple areas. One of the basic business need is to tighten the spread between receivables and payables. In fact once you know the areas where your payables are coming due before receivables are due, specific programs can be launched to address the issue.

 - Better Risk Management 

 - Increased visibility into projects

 - Multi project comparison across geographies and timelines

Project Accounting, Budgeting and Project Management

idea posted by Ravi IT PMO, Cricket Communications

It helps in creating Work Breakdown Structure using which budget/cost can be tracked to the minutest level. Both Capex and Opex can be tracked to the lowest level in the WBS. I implemented lot for projects and believe me every client was very happy because tracking of Construction costs without an ERP is very cumbersome and takes lot of resources to track them (various costs)
