Challenge
The client ran 8 simultaneous sites with BOQ lines tracked in Excel, material indents over WhatsApp, and RA bills assembled manually at month-end. Subcontractor completions had no audit trail; finance discovered cost overruns 45 days late. Month-end close took 12 working days.
Solution
We deployed Odoo 19 with TraceNcode Construction Management: BOQ tied to project budgets, site material requests generating RFQs, work orders with contractor scope, completion sign-off, and progressive RA billing from BOQ completion percentages. A contractor portal lets subs confirm work without email chains.

Support & retention
Silver SLA—8×5 support, quarterly upgrade reviews, named CSM.
Upgrade path: Greenfield on Odoo 19; no legacy ERP migration.
“We finally see which BOQ lines are bleeding before the project ends—not after the auditor arrives.”
