ERP for the Construction Industry
An ERP like SAP delivers significant strategic benefits for construction companies by integrating diverse processes and consolidating data into a single platform
Why Digitalize Your Industry
Construction projects begin with the creation of what is known as a 'takeoff' or bill of quantities. To mitigate the inherent risks in these operations, construction firms rely on specialized ERP systems, which offer robust modules for precise cost estimation and sales pricing.
Our solutions support a growing infrastructure that allows EC&O companies to improve project schedule performance with intelligent and connected supply chains, to reduce labor costs, while improving quality with automated processes.
Return on Assets
A 37% higher return on assets (ROA) is achieved when management processes and their related metrics are fully standardized.
Return on Investment
A 41% higher return on investment (ROI) is achieved when IT and business leadership jointly plan and manage the portfolio.
Secure Growth
By 2050, global infrastructure in this sector is projected to double.
How to digitize your industry?
If you want to transform your company with data in the cloud, regardless of whether it is small or medium-sized or in any sector, we recommend implementing SAP Business One, a construction software that improves data-driven decision-making in real time.
But if your construction company is more of a large corporation, the best thing to do is implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud: Public or Private, both the newest and most powerful options on the market.

In addition, credits, advances, as well as agency wages and accounting work can be taken into account.
Calculations and measurements
SAP helps you track everything from construction cost estimation to the standard bill of quantities (BOQ).
This includes, in particular, cost accounting by object, cost accounting using surcharge tables with overhead costs, general commercial expenses, risks and profits, as well as measurements either per item or discount indicator.
Project cabins
