How a Mid-Sized construction company transformed operations
with BuildSuite
A rapidly growing construction firm in the GCC region managing multiple residential and commercial projects. With 300 labours, several subcontractors, active purchase cycles, and site-level operations, the company needed better clarity and control over day-to-day activities, costs, and cashflow. Their earlier processes were manual, scattered, and difficult to track.
A mid-sized construction firm in the GCC, delivering residential and commercial projects with strong expertise in civil, MEP, and finishing works. The company manages multiple active sites and is known for its focus on quality, safety, and timely project execution.
The Challenge
Before BuildSuite, the company operated through a mix of Excel sheets, WhatsApp messages, manual purchase logs, and handwritten site records. This caused frequent delays, errors, and a lack of visibility for management.
1. Manual Attendance Collection
Attendance was submitted through Excel or WhatsApp. Errors were common, and reconciliation took days each month.
2. Unstructured Purchase & Material Flow
Purchase requests, approvals, and receipts were handled manually.
This led to:
-
Over-ordering
-
Missing records
-
Difficulties tracking pending orders
-
Mismatch between site needs and actual deliveries
3. No Real-Time Cashflow Visibility
Owners could not track:
-
Daily spending
-
Upcoming payments
-
Project-wise cash burn
-
Expected inflows/outflows
Financial decisions were often made without clear or updated data.
4. Petty Cash Leakage
Petty cash expenses were logged manually at each site, making it hard to:
-
Verify authenticity
-
Consolidate daily expenses
-
Identify repeated losses or misuse
5. Lack of Document Organization
Project documents, invoices, purchase receipts, and reports were scattered across email, WhatsApp, and folders, making retrieval difficult during audits or project reviews.
The BuildSuite Solution
BuildSuite digitized and streamlined the company's operations, with dedicated modules for attendance, purchasing, financial visibility, and document management.
