Construction context

Why Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) 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 Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) module is set up around how the construction sector works: Tracks site material movements and shipments by project to reduce loss and overstock.

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.
