Construction ERP for commercial control

Advanced Projects ERP

CVRs, payment applications, cost forecasting, cashflow and CIS,
implemented and supported by construction specialists.

Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and trusted by construction teams who need confidence in their numbers.

Designed for construction commercial realities

Advanced Projects is a construction-focused ERP built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It provides a single, structured source of truth for project financial data, allowing commercial and finance teams to work with confidence.

Rather than forcing construction workflows into generic finance software, Advanced Projects supports how contractors actually operate, from live cost tracking through to accurate CVRs and cashflow visibility.

Why Advanced Projects?

Most construction businesses don’t struggle because they lack data. They struggle because commercial data is fragmented, manual, and difficult to trust.

CVRs are built in spreadsheets.
Costs live in multiple systems.
Cashflow forecasts rely on best guesses.
And CIS becomes a compliance risk rather than a controlled process.

Advanced Projects was designed specifically to fix this.

What Advanced Projects helps you achieve

Pryme
Advanced Projects Construction ERP

Construction ERP centralises data and replaces disconnected spreadsheets with real-time financial control, essential for consistent project delivery and cashflow management.

  • Reliable CVRs driven by live project data

  • Clear cost forecasting without manual reconciliation

  • Accurate cashflow visibility across projects and periods

  • Controlled payment applications linked directly to job costs

  • Reduced CIS risk through structured, auditable processes

The result is fewer surprises, stronger financial control, and better-informed decision-making at every level of the business.

CIS built into your project finance

Managing CIS outside your core finance system creates risk, manual checks, duplicated data and limited audit visibility.

Advanced Projects integrates CIS directly within your project and finance processes, helping ensure subcontractor verification, deductions and reporting are handled accurately and consistently.

By linking CIS to live project costs and payments, finance teams gain greater control, clearer audit trails and reduced compliance risk.

Alessandro Sartori
Technical Manager - GEOfabrics
Quote Marks

“With complex and well-established systems in place, we came to KMS for their ability to build a tailored system around our existing business processes. This included our specialised specification sales process with multiple and varied customer relationships, and a custom forecasting entity, tailored to our specific requirements. Currently (2020) in development we have a products and pricing module, with bespoke processes to handle our pricing from supplier price to sales margin and a customer system based samples process.

KMS have been able to deliver this and more, and we have taken advantage of their wide knowledge of the PowerPlatform with the development of several PowerApps and PowerAutomate processes. Their knowledge has enabled custom processes to be created and for existing functionality to be adapted to our needs. At each stage of our project they took the time to understand our business processes and offered practical solutions for us to consider, whilst keeping us focussed on overall project timing, and our budget. As development continues on the system, we’re hoping to be bringing more of our business processes into the CRM, and looking forward to working more with KMS.”

“The team at KMS and in particularly our account manager, Paul Doerr, have been highly efficient in setting up our version of the system. They have also responded quickly to any maintenance requests and for a number of changes to our existing reports. KMS is an invaluable tool and assists us in our business planning and strategy moving forward.”

“RED were delighted with the completed project by KMS – it really ticked all our boxes in terms of how it could be adapted to suit our business needs. We really see data-driven decisions being at the heart of what do at RED in order to provide service delivery excellence.

Now we have the ability to integrate so much more information into one central point than ever before, and this can only help us to become better at what we do. In particular the Microsoft Outlook email integration within the CRM has been a real game changer – allowing all our users to see what’s happening at each stage of a project’s life means that we can have much better visibility of business-critical information.”
