Built for Construction. Beyond Just Accounting.

BuildSuite vs Zoho Projects: A better way to run construction projects

Zoho Projects is a capable task management tool, but it wasn’t designed for the realities of construction. BuildSuite is a cloud-based ERP and project management platform built from the ground up for contractors, builders, and site teams.
