Hello peers,
I work for a large construction company.
We are interested in an ERP solution for our construction/contracting business (mainly roads, tunnels, infrastructure, and earth moving contracting).
We need ERP modules that can handle:
Which solution would you recommend and why?
Thank you for your help.
SAP project used WBS to integrate overall order status and navigate as one single entity to display cost distribution. This is the advantage for tracking and auditing point view. Another project module can used old template or already done to utilize or guidance for new business. If the new project has not done before and may need bid purpose for cost planning this none-done before project may need to measure the cost estimates are under or over budget. This step will impact acceptance of project profit/lost and SAP will not resolve this complex process for tool based purpose.
SAP provides WBS for cost center collections from project initiative of cooking to proposal submitted in planning。 Once order has been confirmed, sales order, work order, quality inspection, work order confirmation, to customer AR and purchase order AP are collected for financial statement. For your project based , you may break WBS into many WBS1 planning, WBS2 execution, and WBS3 monitoring for after service。 Each level of WBS can accumulate over all order costs and notification to follow up tasks。 Another option is to use one level of WBS project workspace as well。 Project tracking is a tool。 It is more likely to see what cost center and structure you would like to compose in your balance sheet/P/L statement/Asset statement。 SAP may be a good solution but should consider if fit to your project model maturity。
My dear friend,This is not a simple question to answer as a professional. When you are planning to invest a good amount of money for this strategic decision for your business it is better to involve a good ERP Consultant to understand your current situation and future business requirements. While considering your current and future needs of your business and based on your budget that consultant will give you a professional advice. We can also provide these services like others. www.esmcglobal.com. On the other hand, it is like if you have fever, you are asking your friends to suggest a medicine instead of taking advice from a professional doctor. Like every fever is not of the same type and based on your tests result a good doctor can prescribe the most effective medicine for you. This is my friendly advice. I am in this ERP consulting for more than 20 years and I have seen many cases in which companies lost millions to save a fee of few thousands only.
Hello Tarek,
Based on your requirement, I would advise you to have detail review at SAP S4 HANA ERP. SAP is the world's largest ERP and software company. S4 HANA has all required modules you needed for a Construction and Engineering industry. One of the numerous benefits of SAP is you can Manage construction projects company-wide from a centralized repository and keep the portfolio on track – from forecasting and planning to accounting and closure.
