ERP for MEP, electrical and specialist contractors
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire-fighting and finishing contractors carry expensive material across many sites at once, usually as a sub-contractor waiting on someone else’s certification.
What gets in the way
High-value material moves between sites
Cable, pipe and fittings are shifted from one job to another on a phone call, and the stock record never catches up.
Bills depend on another party’s certificate
What was claimed and what the main contractor certified are tracked in separate sheets, if at all.
Small teams, many sites
A supervisor covers several sites, so attendance and progress are reported late or from memory.
Where ERP Infra helps most
Issued against needed. The excess is flagged.
Average consumption per unit of work is the yardstick. Anything issued above it is tracked as leakage.
How it worksClaimed, certified, received and outstanding, per site.
Bills raised per site, with claimed, certified, received and outstanding side by side, and retention due for release.
How it worksEvery quotation ranked on landed cost.
The price comparator ranks every quotation on landed cost, per item, with the last rate paid beside it.
How it worksFigures in the screens above are sample data.
The parts you will use most
Stores and stock
Received at the project store, sent to sites, transferred between sites, consumed on work.
Material reconciliation
What was bought, what was used, what is left, and whether the usage was justified.
Client billing
Bills raised per site: what was certified, what was received, what is outstanding.
Purchase
Requirement, quotations, price comparator, order, receipt and bill check.
What it does not do
ERP Infra does not do design, load calculations or testing and commissioning records. Consumption standards are set by you per material.
Questions people ask
- Can material be transferred between sites?
- Yes. A site to site transfer is recorded at both ends: the sending store dispatches and the receiving site confirms. A shortfall in transit has to be explained.
- Is an ERP worth it for an electrical contractor?
- It is when material is most of your cost and you work on several sites at once. The return comes from knowing where cable and fittings went, buying on landed cost, and seeing what each site is still owed.
