Top Construction Software: Microsoft Dynamics GP and Key2Act

By Scott Aafedt | February 14, 2018

One of the top construction software solutions out there is Microsoft Dynamics GP, with the add-on capabilities of Key2Act (formerly WennSoft). From back office to out in the field, the system handles every aspect of a construction business that spans from accounting to payroll to job costing and mobile work orders. The system is great for small to medium-sized companies that need the functionality to bid accurately and keep an eye on the bottom line.

Contractor and construction challenges:

  • Accurately estimating and bidding jobs
  • Scheduling crews and equipment while tracking materials
  • Making sound adjustments during the project to ensure maximum profit
  • Meeting complex payroll requirements for union and certified payroll reporting
  • Tracking equipment usage and maintenance costs

Microsoft Dynamics GP and Key2Act help contractors and construction managers:

  • Competitively bid and estimate, in a timely manner, using past project insight and track open bids as well as win/loss information
  • Manage costs by closely tracking all components of projects, including labor, materials, equipment and other defined costs
  • Analyze current and past projects to improve efficiency by comparing key performance indicators, seeing estimated, committed and actual costs for any project phase and drilling down to detailed source documents
  • View all project information in a central repository; ensuring correct pricing information is collected for labor, materials, and equipment
  • Gain full visibility into scheduled jobs including employee and equipment utilization
  • Effectively manage purchase costs and dates to ensure what you buy gets billed back to your customer and to maximize your purchasing power
