Dedal CPMS vs other CRM systems: comparison and benefits for construction companies

Construction companies face a variety of challenges when managing projects, from resource planning and cost control to accurate execution of work. Many CRM systems offer solutions for business management, but most of them are universal and do not take into account the specifics of the construction industry.
In this article, we'll look at how Dedal CPMS, a CRM developed specifically for construction project management, differs from other CRM systems and what advantages it offers.

1. Complete resource planning

Standard CRM systems are often limited to managing human resources and basic tasks. However, in construction, materials and equipment also play a key role in the efficiency of work performance.

Dedal CPMS allows construction companies to plan labor, material, and machine resources based on the specifics of each project. This includes calculating the need for materials, equipment rental, and the use of work crews at each stage of the project.

Key benefits:

● Accurate resource planning based on real construction needs.● Minimizing risks due to lack or excess of materials and equipment.● Optimization of resource utilization to reduce downtime and unnecessary costs.

2. Work planning based on estimates

Many CRM systems offer planning based on task lists and specifications, but they don't take into account the estimate part, which is critical for construction. Estimates determine the financial side of the project and affect the planning of all stages of construction.

Dedal CPMS allows you to create a work plan based on estimates, which ensures accurate cost control and efficient resource management. This functionality provides the ability to compare actual costs with planned costs, which helps to avoid budget overruns.

Key benefits:

● Direct linkage of financial indicators to the stages of work performance.● Cost control at all stages of the project.● Accuracy of financial forecasts and their realism.

3. Materials management: accounting and write-off

Effective material management is one of the most problematic aspects of construction. Conventional CRM systems rarely have the functionality for detailed accounting of materials, which leads to cost overruns or shortages at sites.

Dedal CPMS has a function of writing off materials based on the planned needs for material resources. This allows you to control material costs and avoid misuse.

Key benefits:

● Accurate accounting of material usage in real time.● Reduced cost overruns by optimizing the write-off process.● Convenient system for controlling the supply and use of resources.

4. Analysis of plan/actual deviations

Construction projects often face deviations from the plan. Standard CRM systems do not always allow for a detailed analysis of these deviations, which makes it difficult to make decisions at the project implementation stage.
Dedal CPMS provides reports that help you analyze the reasons for deviations from the plan from the actual implementation. You can easily track changes in the composition of work, the volume and cost of resources, and quickly respond to the project situation.
Key benefits:
● Rapid analysis of deviations and quick management decision-making.● Identification of project weaknesses and real-time adjustments.● Improving the accuracy of project management and minimizing the risk of cost overruns.

5. Integration with specialized programs

One of the problems with standard CRM systems is the limited integration with specialized software for the construction industry, such as AEC or BIM. The lack of integration makes the process of creating estimates unnecessarily time-consuming and leads to errors.
Dedal CPMS supports integration with programs such as AEC and BIM, which allows construction companies to work with all tools in a single ecosystem. This not only makes project management easier, but also increases data accuracy and workflow efficiency.
Key benefits:
● Easy integration with specialized tools without data loss.● Automation of the process of transferring information between systems.● Optimization of time and increased accuracy of project data.

6. Structural analytics

Construction projects require detailed analytics to manage processes and improve efficiency.
Dedal CPMS provides the ability to analyze each stage of construction in different sections, which allows you to gain a deeper understanding of each detail and stage of construction, and improve processes based on the data obtained.
Key benefits:
● Detailed analytics of each stage of the project.● Analysis and comparison of projects in the context of structures to improve planning efficiency ● Improving the overall quality of construction management.

Conclusions

Dedal CPMS is a solution that meets the specific needs of the construction industry. Unlike universal CRM systems, it provides tools for full resource management, cost control and analysis of construction processes. Thanks to integration with specialized applications and a flexible approach to analytics and planning, Dedal CPMS allows construction companies to increase project efficiency, minimize risks, and ensure compliance with budgets and deadlines.
