Challenge

By 2015, Townmore Construction had outgrown their existing accounting software. The company required a new system capable of handling their growing operations, which included:

  • Integration with ROS (Revenue Online Service): Direct link needed for compliance and reporting.
  • Integration with Microsoft Office: Essential for reporting using Excel and Word.
  • Scalability: The solution needed to support multi-user, multi-company, and multi-currency operations, with the flexibility to grow with the business.



Solution

Multi-Company Database Structure:


  • Cost Centres: Established to be used across different developments.
  • Nominal Ledger Structuring: Ensured consistent reporting across all companies within the group.
  • Subcontractor Module Upgrade: Allowed multiple packages to be assigned to a single subcontractor with varying contract values.
  • Purchase Ordering with agreed pricing per site, to have total control of material costs.



Results

The implementation of the ABM Project Control System, with ROS integration, provided Townmore  Construction with a scalable and robust solution. This system continues to meet the company's needs, supporting their ongoing growth and ensuring efficient, compliant, and accurate management of their construction projects.
