It’s no secret that the business of infrastructure project management can be challenging. From fast-changing regulations to a market crowding with customers, infrastructure companies need enterprise software that is flexible, efficient, and amenable to the changing landscape. In the face of these challenges, businesses in industries like transportation, communications, electric, gas, and sanitary services also must keep the public and those who utilize their services happy. A strong infrastructure project management ERP that can handle all of those needs should be at the top of your priority list.
Datix recognizes the importance of a powerful enterprise system for the infrastructure industry. With Epicor®, leaders in every area can access an accurate, real-time source of information on company processes and results, and then use that data to drive decisions and allocate resources efficiently.

Epicor® is designed to help businesses increase sales, improve customer service, and reduce operating costs by creating a single nexus for process management and streamlining all operations.

Those who work in infrastructure know that it is an asset-heavy industry. Losing track of your expenses, resources, or employees at any point during a project is unacceptable. General estimates just won’t cut it when it comes to targeting potential areas of waste, or weak links in the supply chain. Poor or inaccurate data driving decisions can cause a business to apply too many resources to an inefficient project, or missing a key step that was necessary for a contract or governmental compliance. Infrastructure industry leaders know that poor process management affects your ability to run smoothly, serve customers, and increase your bottom line.
Epicor® ERP allows your business total transparency through every stage and department of any job. Its closed-loop communication system links the partners and systems that make up your supply chain, enabling you to synchronize processes and eliminate any waste that may come with duplicate systems or processes. Epicor® can analyze that real-time data to cut back significantly on downtime, anticipate maintenance needs, and avoid problems due to faulty resources or poor project communication. Your infrastructure business will be able to leverage the ERP module to target areas of systematic waste or significant loss and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. Cutting back on this kind of unnecessary expenditure allows your business to remain agile and meet customer demands for lower costs while still maintaining product quality.
