Streamlining Operations for a Road Construction Company Through ERP and Project Management Tool Integration
Introduction
deltAlyz Corp. collaborated with a leading road construction company to integrate their ERP system with a project management platform. The integration enhanced operational efficiency, provided real-time project insights, and streamlined resource allocation and cost tracking, enabling the company to execute projects more effectively.
The Challenge
The road construction company faced several operational hurdles:
Inefficient Cost Tracking: Monitoring project expenses and comparing them to budgets was cumbersome, affecting financial decision-making.
Disjointed Systems: The ERP system (SAP Business One) and project management tool (Procore) operated in silos, leading to inefficiencies in data sharing.
Manual Data Entry: Employees manually entered data across systems, increasing the likelihood of errors and delays.
Lack of Real-Time Insights: Project managers and executives lacked access to real-time updates on resource utilization, project budgets, and timelines.
