Real-Time Construction Financials: No More Waiting on Reports

If you’re a contractor still waiting on weekly reports or reconciling job costs with spreadsheets, you’re not alone—and you’re also losing time, money, and clarity. In a fast-paced construction environment, real-time financial visibility isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.

Most construction ERP systems still rely on outdated modular architectures and delayed reporting cycles. That means by the time you see what’s happening, the opportunity to act on it might be gone.
TimeSuite was built to eliminate those delays.
Our relational ERP system delivers live financial dashboards and construction analytics designed to keep contractors in control—on every project, every day.
The Problem: Delayed Data = Missed Decisions
Legacy construction software often separates GL, AP, AR, payroll, project management, and scheduling into siloed modules or disconnected systems. Even when those tools are "integrated," the data updates aren’t instant—or worse, they require manual spreadsheets.

This hampers visibility, especially when you’re managing:
Job cost overruns
Change orders
Labor productivity
Materials usage
Subcontract and purchasing controls
Billing schedules
With traditional tools, by the time the report runs and gets emailed, the numbers have already changed.
The Solution: Live Financial Dashboards Built for Construction
TimeSuite takes a fundamentally different approach. Our ERP with reporting is powered by a centralized, relational database, which means every input—whether from the field or office — updates the entire system in real time.

When labor is logged on-site, your job cost report reflects it instantly. When a change order is approved, it updates the billing schedule and WIP report automatically.
When you project project performance, it's based on today's data—not last week's.
Our live dashboards give you the ability to:
Monitor actual and projected costs vs. budget in real time
View over/under billings instantly
Track committed costs and labor performance
Forecast project profitability dynamically
See project cash flow without waiting on accounting
Automated Reports, On-Demand Insights
TimeSuite’s reporting engine isn’t a static add-on—it’s baked into the interface.
You can:
Build custom filters, formulas, and views
Schedule automatic report delivery
Trigger notifications based on real-time data changes
Customize visual prompts (colors, warnings, icons) based on performance thresholds
This gives contractors the power to automate reporting without developers or outside consultants. Whether you’re in the office or on-site, your data works for you—not the other way around.
Real-Time Construction Analytics in the Field
Unlike traditional ERP systems that require field teams to rely on back-office updates, TimeSuite’s mobile interface shares the same live data stream.

This means:
Project Managers can view job financial performance on-site
Project Managers can approve costs and contracts in the field
Executives can review portfolio-level dashboards anytime, anywhere
Because TimeSuite’s mobile, web, and desktop platforms share a single code base, there are no sync delays or discrepancies. It’s one system, one source of truth—for everyone.
Goodbye to Static Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets and stale reports are no match for modern construction demands. If you’re still exporting data and manually formatting reports, you’re wasting time and risking errors.
TimeSuite gives you the tools to replace spreadsheets with living dashboards that:
● Update in real time
● Reflect field conditions immediately
● Drive decision-making at every level of your business
Whether you’re reviewing your Summary of Contracts, analyzing job status projections, or reconciling payroll, you’ll have instant access to actionable insights—no more waiting.
