CONSTRUCTION ERP
The problem
The monthly application is the most repetitive commercial task in contracting and the most commonly rebuilt from scratch. Each month the QS reassembles quantities, previous certification, retention and deductions in a spreadsheet.
Every rebuild is an opportunity to under-claim, and the under-claim is rarely recovered — because the next month starts from the certified figure, not from the entitlement.
