How Deccan Got Real Costing Across Seven Sites

The problem

Four systems, one version of the truth missing.

Material issued to site was recorded on paper. Subcontractor running bills were reconciled against measurements weeks later. Retention amounts were tracked in a spreadsheet that only one person understood.

The solution

One data model, activated a module at a time.

The Real Estate and Construction pack brought BOQ, work orders, running account bills, site material issue and subcontractor billing onto the same ledger as accounting and payroll.

Knowing a site is going over budget while you can still do something about it is worth more than any report produced after handover.

The result

Less reconciliation, faster decisions.

Cost overruns are now visible in week three rather than at handover. Two sites were re-planned mid-project on the strength of live numbers. Retention tracking stopped depending on one person and one spreadsheet.

Subcontractor bills are now matched to measurements automatically. That conversation used to take a week and a certain amount of shouting.
