Challenge
Due to Sage 300® CRE's accounting centric functionality
and design, F+F Mechanical restricted access to the
accounting team. Without the ability to self-serve,
operations were reliant on the accounting team for
financial information and workflow. Information
captured in the field is manually entered into the ERP,
as well as a third-party payroll system and Excel for
tracking purposes. Triple entry increased operational
costs and risks from transcription error while impacting
the accounting team's efficiency and diverting focus
from higher value activities. Job financials, distributed
via printed reports, might not reflect the very latest
information, making it harder for project managers
to identify and mitigate problems early.
Email-centric communication among the extended
project team left no central record of communications.
Construction documents and drawings, stored on a
network drive behind a VPN, were not easy to access
—especially on jobsites with weak internet. Without
automation and document control workflows, cycle
times stretched out and operational costs were higher.
I get notified when an RFI is
created. The entire process
is at least 40% faster.
