Procurement for Construction
In construction and contracting, project budget, progress payments and subcontractor management require functions to see cost, progress and cash flow together at project level. Digitize your supply process from start to finish and lower your costs, from purchase requisition to quote and order, and from quality policies to inventory and finance integration.
Construction context
Why Procurement works differently in Construction
In Construction, construction and contracting processes center on sector-specific concepts such as project budget, progress payment, subcontractor management. 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 Procurement module is set up around how the construction sector works: Links site and central procurement to budget items to keep project cost under control.
- 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.
