“What got us here, won’t get us there.”
The construction industry will only continue to grow, but the business landscape for small and medium-sized companies is getting increasingly competitive by the year. What used to be an industry based solely on relationships, referrals, and handshakes is going higher-tech. The businesses that adapt will survive and grow; the ones who fail to evolve will go the way of the steam-powered tractor (that is to say: obsolete). One way to gain a competitive edge is to invest in a modern, cloud-based ERP system like Acumatica Construction Edition.
Acumatica’s newest product on the scene is their Construction Edition suite of modules designed to address the needs of general contractors, specialty contractors, builders, utility companies, and much more. Cloud ERP helps construction companies eliminate manual entry, demolish silos, connect the office to the job site, and so much more. [Follow our Acumatica blog for our upcoming series detailing the pitfalls associated with legacy technology and construction companies. This blog only scratches the surface.
We’ll begin the construction ERP blog series with a look at one of Acumatica’s most popular and powerful features: the fully customizable dashboards that show everything any individual user will need to see at a single glance. This cloud ERP demo will show you how even outside apps are seamlessly integrated into the main functionality – one “single source of truth.”
This is the first in a series of blogs where we will highlight the best features of Acumatica Construction Edition, and allow you to compare it to how your processes work now. We'll begin with reviewing some of the dashboards that are included out of the box in the Construction Edition. The transcript is included below the video as a guide.
Software that used to work fine in the beginning is starting to hold companies back. In a landscape that is becoming increasingly competitive, businesses cannot afford to fall behind due to old inefficient systems, siloed data, manual entry errors. A modern cloud ERP solution can resolve those woes, and more.
Choosing software is only half the battle – all ERP systems are sold through “reseller” partners who will help you assess, implement, train your team, and support you throughout the life of the product. It is absolutely imperative that you find a partner with whom you mesh well. It’s why we offer free consultations – you can get to know our team, and we can advise you on the best fit for your business.
