Sage Construct Advanced is designed for multi-user access, and integrates with Sage Line 50, Line 100 or MMS accounting software, as well as with Sage Payroll and Payroll Professional software. Sage Construct Advanced offers increased construction control, from enquiry receipt to final account, enabling you to focus on building your profits. The software provides instant access, at any stage of a contract, to vital management information, based on an almost unlimited number of cost elements grouped in multi-level sections. In addition to the benefits found in Sage Construct, Sage Construct Advanced covers the following areas:
Advanced contract business process integration
Eliminates repeat entry of data onto disparate systems by bringing the contract processes into one package, therefore providing complete cost monitoring from estimate/budget through committed costs, actual costs, applied and actual sales, down to accounts and payroll.
Purchase order processing
Manages purchase ordering from order generation through goods received and on/off-hire notes to purchase invoice, checking budgets, quantities and rates, in order to maintain full cost control.
Labour works orders
Provides control of labour committed costs, works order and timesheet matching.
Plant hire purchase invoice checking
Using on/off hire dates, including part off hire, the purchase order processing system gives control over a very difficult aspect of costing.
Sub-contractor self-billing
Records applications and generates both self-billing and authenticated receipts, with automated retentions, CITB deductions, discounts and CIS processing.
Sales self-billing
Provides the essential construction application, certification and payment receipt processes including retentions and discounts, enabling the handling of the complex VAT requirements.
Aged application reporting
Assists credit control by generating reports showing monies applied for, certified and paid, by client and/or contract.
Integrated estimating module
Handles enquiries from receipt, through supplier/sub-contractor enquiry to cost comparison and quote production. Then by transferring all estimate details into the contract without re-keying, the costs are immediately ready for purchasing and cost control, and the estimate is ready for valuation and application production.
Integrated callout jobs module
Processes low value, high volume jobs, with response coding, sub-contractor search by trade and region, and an automated sales and invoice build. Operating side by side with the core contracts job costing system and working with the diary module to give sub-contractor control, the user benefits from consistent methods and integrated input, giving management access to multiple operations from one source.
Integrated Key event diary module
Users benefit from receiving messages at key stages from the contracts, estimating and dayworks modules, plus specially created repeating messages to enable control of their contracts and jobs.
