Industry
Contracting & construction
Jobs, suppliers, payroll, and collections when the question is still “are we on budget?”
The sector's week
Pain first — what operators actually feel before naming a module.
Site invoices arrive late, suppliers want payment, and the owner asks whether this job is still covering its labour and materials.
- Supplier bills and subcontractor invoices must hit payables with the same VAT rules as the office
- Labour cost has to leave payroll and land in the ledger — not a parallel wage sheet
- Client progress invoices and collections must share one receivables view with aging you can defend
How it works
Three steps — the week's rhythm, not a feature dump.
- 1
Capture clients, vendors, and job-facing masters in one workspace with roles for site and office.
- 2
Invoice the client and book supplier bills into the same AR/AP and ledger as payroll.
- 3
Review aging, cash, and statutory papers on Friday without exporting three spreadsheets.
Questions
Six sector questions. Short answers up front — expand for the longer version in the HTML either way.
Do you have progress billing and retention yet?Project costing depth publishes when that epic’s test gate closes — today you still invoice and collect in AR.
This page does not claim retention schedules or progress certificates before that gate is Done. You can still raise invoices, apply receipts, and run payroll against live finance modules.
Can materials hit inventory?Yes — items and WAC stock sit beside payables when you buy to stock.
Stock purchases and issues follow the inventory module. Site-only consumption without stock documents is ordinary expense posting — say so in the demo rather than inventing a site-store product.
How does payroll touch the job?Pay runs post into the ledger; classify labour on the chart you already use.
Employees, salary history, and pay runs live under People & payroll. Posted runs create balanced journals so wage expense is not a month-end paste.
Can we migrate from an older ERP?Yes — bind one source company and import customers, vendors, and ledgers.
Migration keeps source identity. Construction-specific registers that are not in today’s live modules stay off the promise list.
Who sees job money vs HR data?Finance and HR grants stay separate — payroll access is not company cash access.
Role permissions gate Available cash, receivables, and journals independently from employees and pay runs.
Is this a full project controls suite?No — Omnizone is the operating layer for finance, HR, and delivery beside the cash cycle.
Gantt-only PM, BIM, and shop drawings are out of scope. Work boards and tasks help the office track delivery without replacing a specialist scheduling tool.
FAQ
Direct answers operators ask before a demo.
Can we invoice a client in a foreign currency?Yes — document currency stays on the invoice; journals keep authoritative local-currency amounts.
Do you claim retention accounting today?Not on this page. Retention and progress-billing depth wait on their epic test gate.
