Buying by phone and email costs more than you think
With CERP, every purchase order is logged, compared and linked to the project budget. No lost calls, no duplicates.
The chaos of construction purchasing
When purchasing is managed through WhatsApp, email and phone calls, errors and cost overruns are inevitable.
Nobody knows what's been ordered, what's due to arrive and what's already been paid. The record only exists in the purchasing manager's head.
The same material is ordered for two different sites because nobody has visibility of the company's total stock.
Comparing prices between suppliers takes hours of calls and emails, so most of the time it simply doesn't happen.
When a supplier invoice arrives, nobody remembers whether it matches a real order or whether the price was right.
How CERP organizes purchasing
Digital, traceable purchase orders
Every purchase is created as a formal order with supplier, material, quantity, price and destination project. The supplier receives the order, the warehouse expects it, and the system logs it.
Price comparison across suppliers
With CERP's purchase history you can see who sold you which material, at what price and when. Your next negotiation is backed by data, not guesswork.
Stock updated automatically on receipt
When an order arrives at the warehouse and the receipt is logged, inventory updates itself. No manual entry sheets, no discrepancies between ordered and recorded.
Approval workflows by amount
Define who can approve purchases up to which amount. Large purchases need the director's sign-off. Urgent ones can be authorized by the site manager. Everything is audited.
“We managed purchasing by email and phone with no centralized record. With CERP every purchase order is logged, we can compare prices across suppliers, and the warehouse updates stock automatically when an order arrives. We have almost completely eliminated duplicate purchases.”
