Are you finding ways to ensure project timely completion, cost control and optimal resource utilisation in your construction project management? The core factor you must be looking for is real-time data and communication. Simply put, the solution lies with cloud-based construction ERP.
What is a cloud-based construction ERP system?
A cloud-based construction ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is a software solution hosted on remote servers and accessed via the Internet. It integrates various construction processes, such as tendering and estimation, budgeting and scheduling, project management, procurement, inventory and equipment management, further extending to finance and HR, into a single, cohesive platform. This enables real-time data access, enhanced collaboration, and improved efficiency, making it an ideal choice for construction companies seeking to streamline operations and increase productivity.
With this effectiveness, Tactive offers top-class construction ERP software with cloud capabilities. Let’s explore how Tactive can transform your construction management and enhance productivity across all phases of contracting projects.
Helping You Stick to a Project Schedule.
Creating a schedule is simple, but executing a project on time is challenging. Delays can lead to cost overruns and missed deadlines, impacting profitability and customer satisfaction. Our construction ERP software offers robust scheduling and tracking features to ensure every activity of the project stays in line with the schedule.
Tactive construction ERP offers realistic scheduling to create accurate timelines and ensure work progresses as expected. It provides automated alerts for upcoming deadlines and potential delays, enabling proactive management. Additionally, we enable you to monitor project progress against the timeline, ensuring milestones are met on time.
Efficient Budgeting and Oversight
Tactive’s cloud-based ERP facilitates detailed budget preparation for each project. You can import BOQs from Excel and create multiple work breakdown structures (WBS). The rate analysis template simplifies and speeds up budget preparation, allowing for item-wise and project-wise budget control. The system ensures adherence to predefined budget limits, providing clear alerts, oversight, and control over project execution. Additionally, Tactive construction ERP supports change requests, allowing internal and external changes to be tracked from the initial budget through any number of amendments and revisions.
Labour, Material, and Machinery Management
Management of men, materials and machinery is crucial for a project’s success. These are the areas where most of the budget leakage happens. However, with a centralised construction project management system, you can monitor and control labour, material, and machinery costs from a single platform.
Tactive material allocation process helps the construction companies to ensure that no work is hindered due to material unavailability, by efficiently allocating materials within and between projects while closely monitoring over-allocation. Be enabled to track idle materials and utilise them effectively. Additionally, the inventory control feature tracks material usage and availability in real time with a material stock ageing report to prevent shortages and overstocking.
Well aware of the labour work nature in the construction industry, Tactive’s construction management software has features to manage and utilise labour under different categories including, non-muster rolls, piece rate work, by effectively monitoring their attendance and doing work outturns and progress updates ensuring no worker is redundant on the site and increasing the productivity. Also, the software helps in the effective management of subcontractor works and payment milestones.
Keep a steady track of your machinery productivity with Tactive. Our cloud-based construction ERP system has a robust log entry system that helps you monitor the machinery log timings including working hours, idle hours, and breakdown hours which helps to increase the machinery productivity and find fuel consumption. Our detailed maintenance module helps to do the preventive and corrective maintenance of the equipment periodically by generating necessary precautionary alerts.
Site and Office Collaboration
Understanding the complexities of the site team, Tactive offers a mobile app for connecting the project site and office in real-time, enabling you to capture daily progress and update both ways in quantity or percentage. Perform critical steps like raising purchase requests within budget, processing material receipts, and issuing materials to specific tasks and staff. Track daily progress, streamline purchasing and inventory, and log equipment entries through a mobile app. Also, get approval and alert notification. Our employee self-service eases the work for your workforce to make entries and connect effectively, and geo-specific employee attendance ensures seamless coordination and accountability across all levels.
Maximising Project Visibility and Scalability with Cloud ERP
Effective construction project management not only requires real-time data but also needs a system that scales with your growing needs. Tactive excels in scalability, allowing you to adapt to any project size and complexity with ease. As your business expands, you can seamlessly add functionalities to accommodate new requirements.
In terms of project visibility, we enhance decision-making with intuitive dashboards and insightful reports.
