The construction industry is notorious for using a multitude of systems each designed to address a specific aspect of construction management but using them in isolation can be detrimental.
Information silos represent a massive operational problem for project managers, causing significant challenges in communication, costing construction businesses billions of dollars and leading to major failings. Lack of data sharing can cause issues, including delays and cost overruns, and lack of transparency makes it difficult to make informed decisions about resource allocation, scheduling and forecasting, which can slow down timelines and increase costs.
Software as a Service (SaaS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solutions is a game-changer for the construction industry, providing a single source of truth so the latest project information is always available to project managers, business leaders and onsite staff. It helps streamline and centralise project management processes, integrating all core business processes including finance, procurement, supply chain, human resources, and project management and enables construction businesses to automate complex workflows, enhance operational efficiencies, and enable collaboration across teams.
It enables real-time visibility into project data and resources meaning construction managers can easily view which resources are being used and when they will be available for others. They are also able to easily generate real-time reports on project progress, identifying potential issues before they become problems and making informed decisions to keep projects on track.
SaaS ERP provider TechnologyOne’s integrated software solution helps workers communicate anytime, anywhere and on any device.
“We know that employee experience and productivity is important in the construction industry which is why we developed one simple intuitive interface to make it so much easier for workers to input and access data in real-time. We’ve seen that this can reduce errors, improve accuracy and speed up project timelines,” says Luke Fleming, Industry General Manager at TechnologyOne.
In 2022 TechnologyOne partnered with powerhouse BMD Group to help them better manage all aspects of their growing $2bn infrastructure pipeline across the entire lifecycle.
“Our integrated software solution will ensure BMD Group have the right business processes and technology to boost productivity with a software suite that covers the totality of the project and procurement lifecycle and gives full visibility enabling the business to make cost-effective decisions,” said Mr Fleming.
Implementing an integrated software solution improves communication and collaboration, reduces the risk of errors, and optimises resource allocation to achieve greater project efficiency and success.
