ERP Challenges in Construction & Project-Based Businesses
As construction projects scale, common challenges emerge:
- Limited visibility into job and project profitability
- Manual tracking of variations and progress claims
- Disconnected payroll, costing, and financial systems
- Difficulty managing subcontractors and labour costs
- Delayed reporting impacting project decisions
- Inconsistent data across finance and operations
When systems don’t align, teams spend more time reconciling information than managing projects.Â
How MYOB Acumatica Supports Construction & Project-Based Operations
MYOB Acumatica is a cloud-based ERP designed for organisations that operate on a project or job basis. It brings project accounting, financials, payroll, and reporting into one unified system.
Construction businesses gain:
- Real-time visibility into project costs and margins
- Accurate tracking of labour, materials, and overheads
- Integrated financial and operational reporting
- Scalable workflows that adapt to project complexity
Instead of reconciling data across multiple systems, teams work from a single source of truth.
