Discover the features of Oracle JD Edwards software and discover why it is the ideal ERP option for engineering and civil construction.

Civil construction is a sector that is constantly evolving and growing. Every year, new technologies are introduced in the area, bringing innovation and new processes. To keep up with these changes, companies need to rely on a modern and efficient engineering ERP, such as Oracle's JD Edwards.

Check out in the post how the JD Edwards ERP can be used in the engineering and construction sector and what characteristics it presents.

ERP for engineering and construction

Meeting deadlines, reducing costs and optimizing activities at construction sites are tasks that are part of the daily routine of civil construction. And in this scenario, the use of management systems and ERP tools for the engineering sector becomes fundamental.

After all, ERPs help to centralize and integrate information and intelligent processes, allowing for more efficient management of activities, better company performance, cost and operations reduction, and higher quality of engineering projects.

With the use of an ERP for engineering, it is possible to carry out an integrated management of all the operations involved in a civil construction project, and ensure quick and easy access to all the information necessary for a more assertive decision-making.

But with so many options available on the market, how to choose the ideal engineering ERP?

To meet all the needs of the construction industry, management software needs to offer certain basic features and tools, such as:
  • Financial management

    Financial management is a basic tool that must be present in the ERP. The system should allow the user to manage the budget, reduce costs, buy materials, hire employees, among other processes, all without giving up information security.

  • Schedule of activities

    The management of schedules is a particularity of the civil construction sector. This is because construction companies must manage the stages of the works and the performance of activities at the construction sites according to the schedule stipulated with the client.

    Therefore, it is essential that the ERP allows the administration of the schedule in an easy and integrated way with other sectors, such as finance, inventory, etc, eliminating the use of Excel spreadsheets, for example.

  • Supplier registration

    Civil construction gathers various data from suppliers and partners. Therefore, the management system must enable the storage of this information, allowing the user to easily access the data whenever he needs it.

  • Contract management

    Regardless of size, every work is subject to contracts that must be respected or even changed according to the progress of activities.

    In this sense, the ERP for civil construction should make it possible to monitor contracts, allowing the management of these documents from various devices and facilitating access for other responsible professionals.

Oracle JD Edwards for Engineering

JD Edwards, Oracle's ERP, is the ideal solution for the engineering and construction sector, as it streamlines the flow of information and allows for the automation of processes, making all management safer and more assertive.

JD Edwards ERP is one of the most modern on the market and brings together management modules from different areas of the company, such as purchasing, CRM, finance and production, and business processes specific to the civil construction sector.

In addition, the ERP allows the installation of different Oracle applications, expanding the resources already offered by the software.

Oracle JD Edwards is an integrated ERP, which provides a closed and accessible chain to different sectors of the company, such as human resources, finance, programming, etc. That way, everyone can check the current status of a given project. This greater transparency about a project allows it to be better managed and planned.

A modern system with cloud applications such as JD Edwards can more easily connect to current and future chain partners. This is because cloud applications are tools that can easily communicate with other applications of the same type.

Companies in the engineering and construction sector have great potential to expand profit margins. However, it is necessary to adhere to the digitization of processes to achieve this growth and make companies more profitable.

With the help of JD Edwards, a fully integrated ERP, companies have access to everything that is currently happening and what will happen. This broad access allows greater control over construction projects and finances, allowing even greater chances of competition in the sector.
