Real estate and construction on SAP: control every project, contract and lease

Tower cranes on a construction site

Developers, contractors and facilities companies run many projects, contracts and sites at once, often from spreadsheets. We connect project cost, subcontractor billing, leases and the site workforce on SAP, so every project and property is managed from one set of data.

Plan to handover

project cost, billing and leases connected on SAP

Budgets in real time

commitments and actuals by project and site

Progress billing

claims, retention and subcontractor payments in one flow

One partner

SAP, UKG, OpenText and INK apps under one team

Your projects, from plan to handover

Choose any point on the site to see the problems we solve, the SAP solutions we use and the INK services behind them. Add the ones that matter to your plan.

Frequently asked questions

Can SAP track project budgets, commitments and actuals?

Yes. We set up project budgets in S/4HANA, so purchase orders and subcontracts show as commitments and costs post as actuals against each project and phase.

Do you handle progress billing and retention?

Yes. We configure progress billing to clients and progress payments to subcontractors, with retention held and released against the contract.

Can you manage leases and properties in S/4HANA?

Yes. We set up lease and property management in S/4HANA for leases, rent billing and renewals. For GROW with SAP, we also offer a Real Estate Rapid-Start package with pre-configured processes.

How do you manage large site and facilities workforces?

With UKG Pro Workforce Management for time and attendance, delivered with our partner WikiWorks, plus our Shift Rostering, Contingent Workforce and Visa & Permit apps.
