The problem
Construction admin fragments across too many tools
A construction company juggles project planning, calculations, time tracking, instalment invoicing and subcontractor admin. A lot of that data sits in Exact Online Construction, but oversight and steering requires endless screen clicks.
Data scattered across screens
Project status, calculation, hours, instalments — all separate modules in Exact. A total picture needs manual aggregation.
Admin lags behind reality
Site activities run ahead of bookings in Exact. Decisions are made on outdated numbers.
Hard to work from the site
Exact Online Construction is not designed for fast phone use. Technicians and project managers cannot book on the road.
Margin insight only at delivery
Margin per project often only becomes clear at closeout. By then it is too late to steer.
