In construction and contracting, project budget, progress payments and subcontractor management require functions to see cost, progress and cash flow together at project level.
Qera ERP's Business Intelligence module is set up around how the construction sector works: Tracks project profitability, budget vs actual and cash position on dashboards.
- When project budget isn't compared with actual cost, overruns are noticed too late.
- When progress-payment processes are handled by hand, work progress, deductions and payments come out wrong.
- When subcontractor contracts, progress and payments are scattered, control is lost.
