11 Reasons BuildSmart Trumps Generic ERP Solutions

Invoicing

BuildSmart contract debtors’ invoices are based on the valuation process; considering the construction elements of total work done, previous and current months combined with the control of advances, contra charges and retentions with release dates.


Management Report

By separating completed tasks from those still in progress, BuildSmart produces intelligent reports that focus on critical data such as costs reconciliations, budgets vs allowables, and earned value management. Thus, the project profitability can be accurately monitored.

Procurement

BuildSmart’s procurement module is integrated with Candy (RIB’s estimating & project control solution) and works with Candy’s shopping resource list. This ensures visibility of the resource level allowable in quantity, rate, and total during the construction process.

Plants

With a complete toolbox to support plant monitoring, ownership, maintenance and running costs at a group, category, or individual item level; BuildSmart enables the complete management of a plant fleet - no matter its size or location.


Consolidation

BuildSmart is flexible and can serve multiple organisations, including full or partial consolidations based on percentage shares of joint ventures or shareholding. International groups are also fully covered by excellent multi-currency functionality.

Contract timespans

With BuildSmart’s ability to report on a contract over multiple financial years while considering current transactions, users are provided with the life-to-date position of a contract for accurate year-to-date reporting.


Ledgers

BuildSmart features a ledger with a dedicated costing section that accounts for profit allocation (as per the IFRS 15 standard for construction) and offers complete control of, and reporting on, work in progress.

Statements

BuildSmart users stay on top of every invoice and payment made, thanks to contract debtors’ statements that always report retentions and advances correctly.



Income and Expenditure Tracking

BuildSmart generates reports that are critical for construction companies seeking to understand the actual value of their contracts and identify areas in which greater financial efficiency can be achieved.

Differentiation Between Subcontractors and Creditors

BuildSmart is designed to accommodate the unique payment processes of subcontractors.


User Permissions

Designed to bring all stakeholders onto the same platform but limit access according to their roles and authority matrixes.



Organisations Around the World Use BuildSmart

Stephen Anderson
Financial Director
"I would definitely recommend RIB Software because of the ease of the transaction flow, seamless interaction between all facets and the ability to access pricing reports with a simple click. Everything you need is conveniently accessible on the dashboard and it's amazing how they've continuously improved even the smallest details."
Gavin Morrow
Director
“If you don't have the controls and processes in place to guarantee that your projects (which are the heartbeat of any construction company) are producing the profits that are required to ensure that you can deliver on your mandate, as the CEO: I recommend BuildSmart, because without it, you're running blind.”
Christo Smal
Commercial Manager
“Generic ERP solutions are largely built for a retail environment while BuildSmart is designed exclusively for the construction industry. When you purchase this product you also get the whole package as opposed to other solutions that adopt a modular approach; this works extremely well because it enables us to explore and benefit from even more functionality the longer we run the system as an integrated solution. ”

You wouldn’t use a forklift to break ground so why use any generic ERP solution?
