ERP | CRM | BI Solutions for Commercial Construction

SIS Construct 365 ERP | CRM | BI solutions are 100% dedicated to complex enterprise project and service-based businesses. We understand that commercial construction projects require expertise with fixed fee and heavy procurement tied to supply chain. These are high-risk projects that require scope and labor management, procurement, safety, and more to provide real-time margin or budget by cost code and variance. These complex tasks cannot be accomplished with a spreadsheet or a standalone project management tool. 

Why SIS and Commercial Construction

SIS provides ERP | CRM | BI end-to-end cloud-based solutions to generaland specialty, including heavy civilenergy, and government construction sectors. At SIS, the commercial construction marketplace has been our only focus and our products follow Construction Standards Institute (CSI) parameters. Our differentiator is that while other ERP solutions provide project and service-based capabilities, the complex construction project requires critical financial processes that other standard ERP products do not include out-of-the-box.

This is where SIS comes in – we understand that construction companies need a comprehensive ERP, Project Management, and CRM solution that works the way you do. We know that it must offer the efficiency and risk mitigation that only a fully integrated end-to-end construction ERP software solution can provide. SIS Construct 365 with Microsoft Dynamics 365 can fully transform your construction company and help boost your organization’s profits.

ERP for Construction

Accounting for equipment and labor subcontract materials across a construction company can be difficult to manage without the right tools. The costs, timelines, and customer expectations can be missed without a transparent construction ERP solution. We understand the reason for this is the lack of effective project accounting and project management solutions which can hold back the growth and profits of a construction company. We also understand this is because equipment and labor cannot be efficiently scheduled and allocated across projects. The pain points of using decentralized or non-integrated solutions can be felt even more as a construction project becomes more complex.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a fully integrated construction software solution that will allow your organization to manage the lifecycle of a project effectively and efficiently. Our comprehensive project accounting and project management solutions fully integrate into all processes of your organization and can handle all stages of your projects.
