Microsoft Dynamics SL
This is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that combines powerful project management and financial management capabilities to help businesses manage customer demands, deliver services on time and on budget.As the owner of a heavy-construction business running multiple projects in numerous locations, you over-customized programs, like Excel, to manage projects, customer contacts and generate 'accurate' financials.
For example, you used one spreadsheet for subcontractors, and another for tracking labor expenses and procurement. You devised special 'coding' that would track a project's profitability. When it came to financials reports, you had to rely on historical data which often reflect inaccuracies from repetitive data entries.
On-premise, Cloud or Hybrid deployment
Now, with a hybrid deployment of Microsoft Dynamics SL, your single, database management system populates appropriate modules seamlessly. No longer do you have multiple, non-connected windows up, or spend time searching through files and documents residing on an array of computers in multiple locations.Through Microsoft's Azure, Dynamics SL cloud users can monitor all stages of a project in real-time with more opportunity for collaboration. 'Change orders' can be handled from the field with an audit trail for authorized users.
Better collaboration/project tracking
Dynamics SL provides stakeholders with real-time updates on profit-per-job and status reports on the company's cash flow. In addition, Dynamics SL software makes it easy to follow contract status on each project, and comparisons with original and pending contract changes.Though customized Dashboards, Dynamics SL, whether on-premise or in the cloud, can bill companies in specific phases, including billed-to-date, cost-to-date while showing variances occurring in all projects.
