Maxwell Thomas, Partner & EVPSince its outset in delivering ERP solutions, SIS has been providing comprehensive construction ERP and CRM software based on Microsoft Dynamics solutions focused on improving efficiency and boosting profit margins acrossthe enterprise. As cloud adoption gains momentumin the construction landscape, SIS is prepared to help clients stay ahead of the curve and gain efficiency with a construction enhanced version of AX7 and the new Dynamics 365 Enterprise—the enhanced cloud-based AX flagship ERP system from Microsoft.
The firm delivers and enhances the feature-rich Microsoft Dynamics AX, Dynamics SL, and Dynamics CRM to track, analyze, and manage the entire project lifecycle.
The firm’s Dynamics AX/D365 Construction Software assists in budgeting and forecasting major projects while managing labor with automated time entry and Union/Certified Payroll. “This unifies and simplifies the labor productivity management needs of large enterprises without depending on a weekly or bi-weekly payroll run,” states Thomas. One of SIS Clients; a national electrical contractor, was challenged by legacy systems that did not track KPIs on service calls and contracts. After implementing Dynamics AX and the SIS construction enhancements, the client’s project and service business processes were improved dramatically to allow measuring of key metrics for thousands of service calls to improve profits and customer service.
Accentuating the need for ERP in construction, Thomas states how companies incur losses or margin fadedue to the lack of a comprehensive construction management software solution to better manage fundamental risks such as labor, materials and subcontracts. Addressing this need, “SIS helps project managers mitigate risk with software built on open technology that automates time, expense and equipment usage entry to job cost and payroll—simultaneously managing cost and productivity in real time,” illustrates Thomas.
