ERP and construction. The short answers.

An ERP is the system where the commercial work comes together: quote, purchasing, stock, hours, invoice, accounts. Not five programs and a spreadsheet beside them. The job is the thread, from the first quote to the final cost.

The software runs with the provider, not on a server in the basement. Updates arrive without the IT team giving up a weekend. Office, site and home office work on the same data. Backup and operations no longer sit in your own rack. The licence is predictable. Where a company needs the server in-house, that remains possible.

Microsoft Business Central runs finance, purchasing, inventory, sales, projects, assembly and service in one system. For construction that means hours, materials and billing hang on the job, not on a second list.

The focus is the ancillary trades: electrical, sprinklers, heating, drywall, plumbing, ventilation and building services. We also work in main construction. There Microsoft Business Central is the ERP, and estimating stays in the specialist program.

In the ancillary trades the day-to-day work runs in the ERP. In main construction the bill, measurement and estimating stay in the specialist program, for example in RIB iTWO. The link runs over the REST interface. We do not rebuild the estimate.

No. Maintenance and breakdowns run as a job, without a Business Central Premium licence too. Manufacturing sits on the Premium plan.

The branch solution sits on Microsoft Business Central, not beside it. An installation belongs to a building. Maintenance, breakdowns, materials and the invoice hang on it. Project work and service stay distinguishable in the same ERP.

What Microsoft Business Central can do stays standard. We close gaps through AppSource, Continia and Anvaigo EDI Connect. Not a custom build that fears every update.

With a no-obligation call. We start from your work, not from a module plan. Then we say clearly whether it fits your company.
