In construction, no two companies run exactly alike. Teams, workflows, and reporting needs vary from one contractor to the next. That’s why generic, off-the-shelf ERP systems often fail—they force contractors into rigid processes that don’t reflect how work actually gets done. The result is inefficiency, frustration, and missed opportunities.

The Power of Custom Dashboards 


Custom dashboards are more than a visual convenience—they’re a strategic tool. They let contractors:


  • See the metrics that matter most: Whether it’s job profitability, labor hours, cost overruns, or change orders, dashboards can display key data instantly.

  • Reduce information overload: Tailor what is visible to each team member, so they see only the information that helps them make decisions.

  • Monitor projects in real time: Track KPIs, budgets, and schedules without waiting for end-of-day reports.


With a properly designed dashboard, decisions can be made faster, risks are identified sooner, and operational efficiency improves across the board. 


Dynamic Setup for Real Workflows


TimeSuite’s relational ERP doesn’t just allow cosmetic dashboard changes—it lets contractors customize the system to match their workflows. This includes:


  • Creating grids and tabs specific to each department or project type.

  • Adjusting visibility of fields, formulas, and data points for role-specific needs.

  • Mobile and web consistency so field teams have the same functionality as office staff.


This dynamic setup ensures the ERP system adapts to the company, not the other way around. Teams spend less time wrestling with software and more time managing projects efficiently. 


Single Source Real-Time Data


Custom dashboards and dynamic setup are powerful only when connected to reliable data. With TimeSuite, every adjustment happens in a centralized relational database. This means:


  • All dashboards, reports, and workflows pull data from a single source relational database (no siloed modules).

  • Information doesn’t travel between modules and/or sub-systems, it is retrieved seamlessly from a centralized relational database by project managers, field staff, finance teams, and executives.

  • Information is always up to date.


Why This Matters for Contractors


A ERP system that conforms to your needs isn’t just about convenience—it directly impacts profitability and performance:

  • Greater accuracy: Real-time updates reduce errors caused by disconnected systems. 

  • Enhanced collaboration: Teams work from the same, centralized data, improving communication and reducing misunderstandings.


Make Your ERP Work Your Way


Every contractor deserves an ERP system that reflects their unique processes, priorities, and challenges. TimeSuite’s relational architecture, coupled with its customizable dashboards and dynamic setup, ensures your ERP is flexible, powerful, and aligned with your business.


By making the system work the way you work, your team can focus on what really matters: delivering projects on time, on budget, and with complete visibility into every aspect of your business.
