Why the Construction Industry Turns to MYOB Acumatica

Uncover the reasons why MYOB Acumatica is the preferred choice for the construction industry, offering a comprehensive and efficient solution to handle all aspects of their business—from bidding and budgeting to customer communication, payroll, inventory management, job site operations, and project completion.

Within the construction industry, businesses face a complex and dynamic business landscape. From managing accounting, customer relationships, estimates, and project bids to overseeing payroll, compliance, and change management, every aspect is crucial for success. Traditionally, these tasks were handled manually or through separate software systems, leading to challenges in integration and increased costs.

The absence of integrated software often results in data silos, redundant data entry, and a lack of real-time communication between the office and job sites. This disconnect hinders the sharing of vital project information like job costs, engineering drawings, change orders, and labor records, leading to uninformed decisions and missed opportunities for efficiency and growth.

MYOB Acumatica Construction Edition stands out as a scalable cloud ERP solution tailored for the construction industry. With built-in CRM, inventory management, and field service modules, as well as seamless integration with top construction management and estimating tools, it offers comprehensive functionality on a unified platform. Designed to meet the needs of general contractors, subcontractors, homebuilders, land developers, and civil construction firms, MYOB Acumatica empowers businesses to streamline operations, save costs, and drive revenue growth.

Optimise profits with a comprehensive platform and a 360° View of Operations

Traditional ERP solutions often fall short in providing comprehensive financials, integrated project management, certified payroll, change management, and compliance features. This limitation hinders construction companies from effectively tracking costs against project budgets, monitoring labor and compliance on job sites, and identifying where projects are profitable or facing losses. The lack of key project metrics tracking also leads to uninformed decisions regarding budgets, vendors, scheduling, and project changes, ultimately impacting the company's bottom line.

In contrast, MYOB Acumatica Construction Edition offers robust project management capabilities, comprehensive financial tools, business intelligence insights, role-based dashboards, and detailed reporting. Through real-time dashboard drilldown reports, companies can quickly spot changes in project scopes, labor, materials, and equipment, enabling them to make informed decisions, enhance project controls, and achieve greater returns on investments.

By leveraging true cloud technology and unlimited user licensing, Acumatica Construction Edition helps to reduce IT expenditures, thereby increasing profits and providing better access to working capital for business growth.

Enhance client satisfaction on each and every project

Outdated ERP systems lack the built-in CRM or service and inventory management functionalities, resulting in data scattered across multiple disconnected systems or manual Excel sheets. This hampers real-time management of inventory, orders, job site shipments, field services, and customer needs, causing delays in supplying the necessary tools, equipment, and materials to job sites. Such inefficiencies lead to miscommunications, impacting budgets, schedules, relationships, and ultimately revenue streams.

MYOB Acumatica's inclusive CRM automates client communications, fostering stronger relationships and unlocking new business opportunities. Its advanced project management tools enhance commitments, schedules, and client collaboration.
