Construction ERP software for contractors in Manila
ERP Infra tracks purchase, stock, labour, machinery and cost on every site, and flags what does not add up the same day. Below is what is being built in Manila and where projects there tend to lose money.
Construction in Manila, in brief
-
On the Metro Manila Subway, right-of-way acquisition stood at 90.92% in February 2026, and a 3.397 km civil works package (CP 104) linking Quezon City, Pasig and Taguig, held by the Tokyu-Tobishima-Megawide joint venture, broke ground on 13 February 2026 with project completion scheduled for 2032.

In September 2025 the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) revoked the licences of nine construction firms linked to the Discaya family, which had won about P31 billion in government infrastructure contracts between 2022 and 2025.

In February 2026 the Palace said four contractors in the flood control scandal had lost their licences and 16 more faced blacklisting proceedings, while DPWH said about 60 contractors could be blacklisted, and President Marcos directed agencies to pay contractors that had completed their work.

The work that dominates
- metro rail and subway civil works
- flood control and public works contracted through DPWH
- underground stations in business districts
Where Manila projects tend to lose money
Claimed, certified, received and outstanding, per site.
The February 2026 presidential order to pay contractors that finished work shows payment lag is a live issue for public-works contractors.
How it worksBudget, committed and actual, per site, every day.
Large phased packages such as the subway civil works contracts run over years and depend on land acquisition, so cost and schedule need tight tracking.
How it worksThe daily report writes itself, the same evening.
Flood-control scrutiny and licence revocations raise the demand for dated, verifiable site progress records.
How it worksFigures in the screens above are sample data.

- Can contractors in Manila 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 Manila. Demos and onboarding are done online by the Flip Retail team.
- Does ERP Infra have an office in Manila?
- No. ERP Infra is made by Flip Retail, based in Jaipur, India. Work with companies in Manila is done remotely, starting with a one-month pilot on one project.
- What should a construction company in Manila 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.
Let’s put every site on one screen.
Tell us how many projects and sites you run. We will walk you through the system on a call and suggest where a pilot would pay back first.
