According to ZF, the percentage by which the prices of the main construction materials increased is between 15 and 100% from March 2021 to March 2022, given that in the spring of last year the same materials had already gone through several rounds of price increases. You need to maintain strict control of the materials consumed on site, and SocrateERP is the right solution. Why? We explain in more detail below.
Not only are construction materials essential, but they are needed in very large quantities, on the order of tons, which makes it difficult to supply on time and at a decent cost, allowing construction companies to maintain their profit margin without affect the buyer's portfolio), especially in the current conditions of the crisis of construction materials.
Pandemics and bottlenecks in supply chains have exacerbated an old challenge for construction companies: supply of raw materials. In this context, more and more companies consider the implementation of an ERP system the only solution for aligning customer orders with stock availability and planning and automating the supply process.
It is not a novelty, and until now the consumption of materials on site had to be controlled, but in the current conditions with all these challenges, the need for control is even greater. Of course, we can't influence either the supply chain or the purchase price, but we can provide you with the software solution that helps you deliver on time for the construction sites and construction projects you have in place and maintain strict control of all of them. materials consumed on the project, phases, subphases and activities, so as to minimize losses as much as possible.
SocrateERP for optimizing the supply of construction materials. Supply on time, in the required quantities and at the right price!
SocrateERP provides a helping hand to construction companies through the ability to align supply contracts and stock availability for efficient construction projects.
Using the SocrateERP solution automates this process and eliminates syncope. The key is the ability to collect and correlate data and integrate it into a coherent flow from sales, supply of raw materials, execution of the work to delivery of the project to the customer.
For each construction project, there is a need for materials divided into phases, sub-phases and activities, based on which the best offers are sought and supplier orders are made. If you stock up on all the sites and projects you have in progress, upon receipt, SocrateERP allows you to reserve materials for projects, phases and subphases, so you can only use certain materials for the project / phase / sub-phase allocated in the system.
SocrateERP for the control of consumption of construction materials on site. Limit your losses and bring only the materials you need to the site when you need them!
In most cases, the construction sites do not have a material depot, so the site manager has to order materials to best fit the needs, in order to avoid excess materials being delivered to the project site. It must also avoid situations in which it lacks the necessary materials from the site, so that there are no downtime and delays in the delivery of the construction project. A balance that is quite difficult to maintain without the help of a software solution.
With the help of the SocrateERP solution, the site manager can keep track of and control materials / stocks by:
- registration in the project / phases / sub-phases of the materials and equipment delivered by the suppliers
- reception and verification of materials under management
- registration of requests for delivery of materials to the teams on site
- periodic notification in case of decrease in quantity of materials in stock
- reports on the record of materials and their movement within the project
Controlling the consumption of materials on site can make a major difference in the quality and profitability of the construction project. SocrateERP offers 100% transparency in the way you work and increased control over construction projects.
