Questions from Kolkata
- Can contractors in Kolkata use ERP Infra?
- Yes. ERP Infra is web-based: office staff use it in a browser and site staff in a phone browser, so it can be used on projects in Kolkata. Demos and onboarding are done online by the Flip Retail team.
- Does ERP Infra have an office in Kolkata?
- No. ERP Infra is made by Flip Retail, based in Jaipur, India. Work with companies in Kolkata is done remotely, starting with a one-month pilot on one project.
- What should a construction company in Kolkata check before choosing an ERP?
- Check that it is organised by project and site, that site staff can use it on a phone, and that it can show the same evening what a site cost and whether material used matched the work done. Then ask for a pilot on one of your own projects before committing.
