What is an ERP?

Combine operations and finance into one system with intelligence and workflow.

1. Put everything in.

  • Time & expenses
  • Project budgets and change orders
  • Inventory, materials & equipment
  • Client information and invoicing requirements
  • GL and account structures
  • Employees, suppliers & contractors
  • Multiple companies & currencies

2. Achieve productivity and efficiency.

  • Configure the system to automate simple tasks
  • Use workflow and alerts to automate communications and approvals
  • Allow departments to view, add or change only relevant data
  • Everyone is up to date in ‘real-time’
  • Manage and optimize resources and people

3. Create business intelligence and agility

  • Project Managers track and manage project profit margins and control costs
  • Accounting departments invoice quicker and reduce receivables
  • Finance gets a full picture of organizational health and cash flow
  • Executives gain new business intelligence

What to look for: These core functions make all the difference

These functions are some of the features that will set a good project accounting system apart from a mediocre one.

  • Project budgeting
  • Change orders
  • WiP (Work in Progress)
  • Flexible Billing – change rates, hold time, choose when to bill time & expense
  • Flexible revenue recognition
  • Create the reports that matter to you
  • Project allocator – an if/then rules engine that intelligently flows your project costs and revenues into your GL

But wait, there’s more! An ERP can include many more functions…

  • Build to order
  • Build to sell
  • Inventory & Purchasing
  • Resource Planning
  • Service Contract
  • Service Dispatch
  • Contract Management
  • Equipment Management
  • Integrated CRM
  • Manufacturing
  • and more? …possibly.

Just as you are unique, so is each ERP system.

Each ERP system has it’s own strengths and weaknesses, and available modules. To help you navigate this:

  • Be clear on your priorities and then match them against what’s available and configurable.
  • Your final decision should include prioritizing a list of requirements.
  • Ensure that each problem you solve is actually going to add value to your organization in the long run.

Tip: Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that every possible feature will be used or needed. Just because it’s possible in a new system, it doesn’t mean it’s going to improve your processes, increase efficiency or add to your bottom line.
