Construction companies shuffle numerous complex tasks on a daily basis. These workflows only get more arduous as the number of projects they manage increases, making it more challenging to track various activities. This is where a robust ERP solution makes all the difference, helping businesses automate and track their project management tasks while saving time, improving data accuracy, and reducing human errors.

On this front, TimeSuite Software can be touted as one of the best one-stop platforms for streamlining project management workflow in the construction industry.

“We are not a traditional modular platform. Our comprehensive relational platform accomplishes simplicity, and that is what makes us better,” says Eric Malouff, CEO of TimeSuite.

TimeSuite’s relational architecture provides simplicity that allows access to every part of the system from any part of the system. Unlike modular systems, relational systems do not have limitations that come from integrating modules. Relational means a single system where the concept of integration is obsolete, and rigidity is no longer a hindrance to workflow.

The platform is a multifunctional center that combines estimating with on-screen takeoff, project management, accounting, document control, resource planning, critical path scheduling, task management, CRM, communication, and file system functionality.

TimeSuite’s cost controls include budget actual variances and status projections for costs, hours, and quantities. Cost controls also include commitment tracking, with drill down to detail/images, over/under billings, a full summary of contacts, and retroactive allocation of over/under allocated indirect costs.

Comprehensive construction features also include progress billing, cost plus billing, change order control, certified payroll, union payroll, multi-state payroll, retention, and lien waiver tracking. Visibility features include drill-down-to-detail dashboards, kanban boards, customizable flow charts, and drill-down-to-detail reporting.

A file system facility allows users to replace drop box and/or Windows file explorer.

Banking system integration facilitates creating transactions and quick bank reconciliations.

Centralized email, knowledge base, text messaging, and notification facilities provide a superior communication platform.

A comprehensive mobile app delivers the entire desktop and web interface features to the field using mobile or iPad/tablet.

A PDF viewer provides CAD layering, measurements, and annotations for rapid access to parts of the blueprints as required. The PDF viewer also allows form creation and certificate-based document signing.

A built-in report writer facilitates the easy creation of forms and reports.

TimeSuite adheres to and fully automates the percentage completion method of accounting. A full summary of contracts proves your job cost reports tied to the client’s financials. Automated retroactive over/under allocation of indirect costs ensures the loaded labor rates and job costs reports include all indirect costs. Automated accrued wages enable the costs to be captured by work date rather than check the date on the financials.

The task management, CRM, and Geo Timecard facilities further round out the comprehensive platform.

TimeSuite is an innovative ERP solution provider that offers possibly the most advanced software ever produced for contractors.
