Building Success: How Integrated ERP Drives Project Control and Profitability for Singapore's Construction & Engineering Firms
The Challenge for Singapore's Construction & Engineering Firms
The construction and engineering sector in Singapore is inherently complex, with project-based work often leading to significant operational hurdles:
Project Cost Overruns
Manual tracking of project expenses, materials and subcontractor invoices makes it difficult to maintain real-time cost control against budget, leading to unexpected financial surprises.
Delayed Progress Claims & Payments
Inefficient billing processes, complex variations and slow approval workflows can severely impact cash flow and project timelines.
Fragmented Information
Disparate systems for procurement, project management and Finance mean critical data is scattered, hindering accurate forecasting and risk assessment.
Cumbersome Approval Processes
Manual routing of documents for approvals (e.g., purchase orders, progress claims, subcontractor invoices) creates bottlenecks and delays.
These challenges not only impact project profitability but can also strain client relationships and limit your firm's capacity for new ventures.
