ERP FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Built on Project Management

Control budgets, costs and profitability by project

Manage multiple projects, stages, service orders, warehouses and consumption while keeping operational, commercial and financial information connected.

From the initial budget to profitability analysis per project
The project management challenge

From separate budgets and purchasing to a complete view of each project

When budget, materials, services, hours, invoicing and costs are managed in different tools, it becomes hard to know the economic progress and the real profitability of each project.

Without integrated management

Profitability is known at the end

  • Budgets separate from execution
  • Purchasing with no direct link to the project
  • Materials hard to track between warehouses
  • Direct and indirect costs analyzed manually
  • Profitability known after the project ends
With TRILAY ERP+

Each project as a project and cost center

  • Each project organized as a project and cost center
  • Stages represented through service orders
  • Purchasing and materials linked to each project
  • Budget compared with actual costs
  • Profitability updated per project
