Construction companies have one of the most increased process complexity due to the segmentation of their activity, to working simultaneously on multiple sites, and to the use of multiple profit centers.
In the case of running concurrent projects, it is most often that the actual costs are different from one project to another, even if the initial calculations showed a similarly planned cost. How do you figure out where a problem has occurred, where to intervene, and what needs to be corrected?
Coordination of all construction activities requires the implementation of a complex information system that can provide thorough and real-time control of construction projects.
Why can you benefit from using SocrateERP?
BITSoftware's information system, dedicated to construction companies, includes the following benefits:
- Real-time tracking of profitability, as well as resource consumption (human and material)
- Keeping a quantitative-value record of all activities on projects, phases and sub-phases
- Follow-up of project costs by defining planned, budgeted and committed costs, as well as real-time comparison of actual costs following the execution of the works
