The chaos.
Qasr Al Ryhan Contracting LLC was struggling with:
- 01BOQ tracking lived in 4 separate Excel sheets per project. Reconciliation took a full day per month.
- 02Subcontractor invoices, retention amounts, and payment certificates were paper based. Disputes were monthly.
- 03No real time view of project cost against budget. Overruns surfaced only at close out.
- 04Material requisitions from sites went via WhatsApp. Lost requests, late deliveries, idle crew.
- 05WPS payroll handled in a separate system. Reconciling labor cost back to projects was manual.
The implementation.
OSForBiz implemented ERPNext Professional with the Construction template stack: Projects, Inventory, Subcontractor Management, HRMS with WPS payroll, and Accounting. Site teams got the mobile app for material requests and timesheet entry.
- +Projects (multi phase)
- +Inventory (site warehouses)
- +Subcontractor Management
- +HRMS + WPS Payroll
- +Accounting (UAE VAT, retention accounting)
- +Mobile app for site teams
- +WPS bank file export
- +Document attachments per project
- +Material request from site. Auto route to procurement. Auto update project cost on receipt
- +Subcontractor invoice. Auto match to PO. Auto hold retention per contract terms
- +Timesheet approved. Auto post labor cost to project

“Construction cash flow is unforgiving. You bill on milestones, hold retention, carry subcontractors. Without live project costs you are guessing. OSForBiz put cost per project on a single screen. 12 weeks in, we had visibility we never had in 8 years. PMs check variance daily. Subcontractor disputes dropped to near zero because every invoice now matches a PO.”
