Organize Your Construction Business

Handle all projects and cost and check company capacity with an ERP solution that integrates opportunities, contracts, scheduling, change orders, and budgets, and allows you to view sub-contractors and compliance information. Every team member, from your CEO to on-site workers have access to a “single source of truth” so they can make the best possible decisions.

Direct Every Project

Be an informed and organized manager by syncing your in-field employees with your home office. They will view a centralized calendar, schedule, plan, delivery schedule, crew list, and equipment requirements, and can easily track jobs and sub-jobs to stay in the know.

Document Management

Store all your documentation on the cloud with Acumatica ERP. Upload plans, contracts, specifications, change orders, submittals, and even photos and associate them with specific jobs, invoices, or customers.

Fully Manage Financials

Understand your construction business’s financial health with advanced forecasting and reporting. Perform day-to-day functions like payroll, overhead, cash management. And gain deep insights into your profitability, tracking actual costs versus estimates, and timelines against original bids.

Grow Your Business

Acumatica’s embedded CRM application can help you identify tenant improvements, remodeling opportunities, issue tracking for customer requests, as well as providing an easy web portal for information and data collection. Quickly review project status and contracts on your phone or tablet.

Invest Wisely

Reduce your initial software investment with Acumatica ERP’s pay-as-you-go model. You’ll be charged based on consumption, not by user, meaning you only pay for as much as you get out of the software. Acumatica is supported by construction experts around the world.

Connect to Other Systems

Use leading construction and business software products, interfaced using the Construction API based on OpenAPI 2.0 standards. Link quickly to other systems, like Procore and eSignature providers DocuSign and Adobe eSign.

Customer Portals and CRM

Capture lead information with a front-facing webpage managed from within your Customer Portal. Cultivate opportunities, track prospects, manage the sales cycle, and streamline invoicing.
