TimeKeeping and Construction Payroll

When It’s Time to Move On from Penta, Sage and QuickBooks

There are numerous reasons to use any of these accounting solutions for a Construction company when it is first founded. However, as your business grows and becomes more complex, the need for better and optimal solutions becomes clear. Whether the entry-level software simply doesn’t quite scale with your enterprise, or the technology limits how big you can get, you’ll know when it’s time to upgrade. You have a challenge if you discover that solutions to business problems are solved with detached point solutions, that only fix one problem, but do not integrate into your software. If you want your business to grow, you need an ERP that will help fuel that growth rather than stifle it.

Where Your Current Entry-Level Solutions May Be Failing You

Construction Time & Attendance Software

Replace Penta : Call CEM

With a starting price of $50,000 and limited HRIS functionality, you will need to invest in other systems quickly. Mobile device functionality, timesheet and operations integrations are limited. Penta has an out-of-date interface that is hosted on-premises instead of in the cloud. As a result, it is vulnerable to ransomware and hacking.

Replace QuickBooks: QuickBooks vs Microsoft Dynamics

While it is very economical to adopt at first, QuickBooks gets very expensive quickly. There are limits to how much payroll you can run the system. Difficult to setup and learn at first. Poor visibility and controls. Not made with accountants in mind as many functions are oversimplified. Detailed inventory management and also fixed assets are lacking in the online version.

Replace Sage

As you grow, you will need better time tracking. When it’s not included, as with Sage, you must find another vendor and pay for the integrations into Sage. The user interface is also outdated and hard to stare at all day. Significant improvements come in the form of additional optional products for purchase.

What a Full ERP Can Do for Your Company

A robust ERP system is critical to your ability to provide important information to management, provide services and customer support, send invoices and track payments, fulfill contractual obligations, obtain and deliver products, accurately maintain books and records, provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on your financial and operating results. Not having a good ERP system could adversely affect your ability to process orders, provide services and customer support, send invoices, track payments, fulfill contractual obligations, accurately maintain books and records, provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on your financial and operating results, including reports required by the SEC, and otherwise operate your business.
