ERP Package for Construction
Summary
​
The ERP Package for Construction is a total ERP for home builders, general contractors, subcontractors and land developers. It addresses all the business functions of a construction company such as construction accounting (very different from regular accounting), customer relationship management, sales management (quoting, work orders), purchase management, inventory management (equipment, tools, parts,..), project management, contract management (AIA compliant), invoicing, subcontractor management.
This ERP Package will really streamline your operations. Everybody in your company will see up-to-date accurate time, cost and revenue information so that problems are discovered on time and resolved sooner than when paper documents were everywhere and nowhere, or when different systems had different data for the same project and task. At least you will now be able to make a profit when previously mistakes and dragging problems wiped out your potential profit.
This ERP Package outshines the competition that provides old ERP technology that is not accessible via an HTML browser, and requires lots of money to make changes to the software. Forget about their tech support and their commitment.

Revenue Projection and Recognition
It is common in construction to project revenue and recognizing (booking) it when corresponding work is finished.
The video (10 mins, 4/2020) will illustrate this.
Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) Retainage
It is common in construction to not pay (AP) for instance a subcontractor 100% of his/her completed work, but only 95%. The other 5% is paid at a later day.
The same applies at the AR side where your customer will not pay your company the full invoice but, for instance only 95%.
The video (10 mins, 3/2020) below will explain this.
