Construction ERP

From site purchase orders to real-time project margin.

One system for project costing, subcontractor management, and financial reporting. Odoo connects your site teams and finance without spreadsheets. Live in weeks, not months.

Built for construction

Four problems we solve in every construction deployment.

🏗️
Challenge

No single view of project costs across labour, materials, and subcontractors

Odoo solution

Odoo's project costing module tracks every cost line — labour hours, purchase orders, and subcontractor invoices — against each job in real time. Project managers see margin before the invoice, not after.

📋
Challenge

Purchase orders raised verbally with no paper trail or budget control

Odoo solution

Every site purchase is raised as a PO linked to a job and a budget. Approvals are enforced before commitment. Finance sees committed costs in real time — not after the invoice arrives.

🔧
Challenge

Subcontractor invoices don't match what was ordered or certified

Odoo solution

Subcontractor POs, delivery confirmations, and payment certifications flow through a single approval chain. Odoo flags discrepancies before payment is released — eliminating overbilling disputes.

📊
Challenge

Finance team producing P&L two weeks after month-end

Odoo solution

All project transactions — timesheets, purchases, invoices — post to accounts in real time. Month-end closes in hours, not weeks. Directors see live P&L by project and division.

Deployment highlight

40 active projects. One system. Finance closed in a day.

A mid-sized construction company was running 40 concurrent projects across spreadsheets, separate accounting software, and email chains for purchase approvals. Month-end close took 10–12 days and project margin was never known until weeks after completion.

We deployed Odoo's project costing, purchase management, and accounting modules. All 40 projects moved to live cost tracking. Month-end dropped to one day.
