Construcciones Yamaro: Access Construction drives ERP adoption for a resilient future
With nearly 30 per cent of business collapses in the construction sector last financial year, industry players are increasingly seeking solutions to adapt and thrive. Access Construction is taking the lead, encouraging the sector to embrace transformation through enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.
Alex Boury, general manager at Access Construction, emphasises that now is the time for the industry to adopt a more modern and efficient approach.
“In general, the construction industry has been slow to adopt change,” says Boury. “Resistance to new technologies had led to the sector falling behind many others when it comes to digitising business processes.”
Boury observes that a growing number of construction firms are recognising the value of ERP software. The sector’s rapidly changing landscape has prompted many businesses to seek a single platform for construction management – one that replaces the complexity and cost of managing separate software for each operational need.
For companies exploring ERP, the benefits go beyond technology. ERP can streamline processes by merging various data and systems into a single, efficient platform, reducing errors from repeated data entry and eliminating time wasted searching for information.

“ERP is the ultimate solution for a construction business because it offers holistic data integration, financial visibility, scalability, streamlined operations, risk mitigation, and the bonus of business planning and forecasting,” says Boury. “But ERP is not just a technological change; it’s also a strategic move that promises a host of benefits for construction companies.”
“The time savings and productivity benefits alone speak for themselves, with workers spending nearly 20 per cent of their workday searching for information. A centralised data source eliminates this inefficiency, building a strong business case for change to an ERP.”
Boury advises construction businesses to seek industry-specific ERP solutions that address the sector’s complex needs, including project control, enterprise bargaining agreement payroll, compliance, and tools for managing plant and equipment.
“Construction ERP involves an integrated software system that is designed with the project-focused nature of construction and its unique requirements,” he says. “It includes features like connecting accounting, operations, project teams, and stakeholders in one system, as well as cloud capabilities to link the teams in both the office and onsite.”
“By avoiding a one-size-fits-all ERP system that isn’t construction industry-specific, businesses can customise their chosen system to meet their needs as they grow and meet industry compliance and governance requirements.”
