Here's a breakdown of how Acumatica serves each role:

Construction Executives

The C-level business leaders in a construction company depend on business intelligence and analytics to make decisions. The CFO must view company revenue, budgets, and profitability metrics. The COO must regularly pull reports for construction project success levels, material pricing, and field service data to compare to forecasted timelines. Customized dashboards help the CEO accelerate decision-making with real-time insights into the project pipeline to stay ahead of the competition with agility and speed.

Acumatica for Executives: 

• • Dashboard and Analytics: Acumatica provides executives with real-time insights into project performance, financials, and key metrics through customizable dashboards and interactive reports.
  • Financial Management: Executives can monitor financials, budgets, cash flows, and profitability across multiple projects. They can track costs, revenue, and margins to ensure projects stay on track.
  • Project Management: Acumatica allows executives to oversee project portfolios, monitor progress, and evaluate risks. They can view project statuses, resource allocations, and timelines to make informed decisions.
  • Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Executives can access CRM functionality to manage customer relationships, track opportunities, and ensure customer satisfaction.

Construction Job Site Operations

Construction executives need a responsible team leading the operations at each job site. These include the foreman or project manager, project engineer, safety and compliance manager, and field services lead. Their job is to ensure the construction project proceeds on time and within budget. Acumatica Construction Edition provides real-time collaboration from field to office and office to field for effective and efficient construction job site management.

Back-Office Operations

From the company’s controller to project accounting to human resources to service dispatchers, the construction staff who work in a traditional office setting provide a wide range of support for the project. These people rely on a steady flow of real-time data from the job site. Accounting teams need project updates to manage accounts payable proactively.
