Master complexity in machine and plant construction at a profit
The planning, production and mainte­nance of construction plants is a highly complex matter. Each construction project has its very own contractual features and speci­fi­ca­tions. Beginning with the tendering phase and on to inspection approval, straight through to plant mainte­nance later on, there are a large number of processes to coordinate: calculate and control costs, integrate vendors, suppliers and subcon­tractors into the processes, plan demands for materials and staff capac­ities, procure materials and services, monitor delivery deadlines and on and on… What you also need are analyses and assess­ments during each phase in order to have an overview of your project’s status. A capable ERP solution casts light on the darkness and helps you to achieve your tasks while meeting deadlines and keeping to your budget.

IT support during project business
For more than 15 years now INFO AG has supported machine and plant construction outfits in the course of daily project business. We deploy SAP compo­nents to your benefit that optimize your processes and lower your costs at the same time:

• You organize individual construction phases using project struc­tures and network plans for task planning, cost estimating and date scheduling in terms of demands for materials and staff capac­ities.

• You make use of electronic market­places for material procurement in order to determine the best price-to-perfor­mance ratio via bid compar­isons and auctions.

• You monitor delivery of materials in alignment with dates: from the time the goods leave the vendor or supplier, all the way to the construction site.

• You procure services with the help of catalogs of services and sample speci­fi­ca­tions, control the logging of services, inspection approval and release for the services, and monitor all budget details.

• You register, calculate, review, enter and settle payment schedules and invoices on account.

• Within finances and accounting you draw on invoicing plans and partial invoices for the individual construction phases that are typical for the field involved. In light of the major complexity of the accounting trans­ac­tions here, the depiction of requests for down payments, of payments on account, ancillary costs and collateral securities reduces the suscep­ti­bility to error.

• You directly access technical documen­tation, inspection certifi­cates and other documents via inter­faces to CAD, CAM or CAE systems.
