- What should a construction company in Kuala Lumpur 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.
