Business Central for construction

Achieve financial security with Business Central and Wipfli

As construction projects become more complex, companies need a solution to bring everything into a single view — costs, budgets, schedules, materials, labor and more. Specialty contractors and construction firms need real-time insight into details that make or break profitability — accessible when and where they need it.

Build off your strengths

Construction firms that run on Microsoft solutions can build on their existing technology foundation with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Business Central connects seamlessly to Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Excel and Word, and it’s interoperable with other essential applications through APIs.

When implemented by Wipfli, the enterprise resource planning (ERP) and accounting functions in Business Central integrate with the rest of your Microsoft tech stack to streamline construction management and financial tasks, from quoting and proposals to purchasing, materials management, timesheets and billing.

When everything is connected, you can see the power of Microsoft’s market-leading AI. Repetitive data management tasks go away and approval processes for purchase orders, expense reports and other documents happen automatically. Even key financial processes, such as bank reconciliations and ledger updates, can be put on autopilot.

Access everything you need to manage projects and the business from the field or the office through the Microsoft cloud. Business Central lets you track inventory, work orders and costs from any device, at any time.

Give yourself access to power tools

With Business Central, contractors can estimate and execute jobs with real-time insight into what each resource and task will cost. And meticulous, AI-powered tracking features help you exercise firm control over budgets, timelines and inventory.
