Project Businesses ERP for New Zealand and Australia
Can you see every project's cost, progress and profit - visible in real time?
For New Zealand project-based businesses - engineer-to-order manufacturers, contractors and professional services - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central connects project management, job costing and finance.
ERP365 implements and supports it so you always know where each project stands.
Why project businesses struggle with generic systems
- Costs and time captured late, so profit is a surprise at the end
- Work-in-progress and billing that don't reconcile
- Resources over-committed across concurrent projects
- Project data disconnected from finance
Job costing that tells the truth
- Project/job costing - budget vs actual for time and materials
- Work-in-progress and profitability visible as work happens
- Milestone, progress or T&M billing reconciled to cost
- Real-time reporting across every live project
