How are you managing capital or client projects in your ERP without losing visibility?

I’ve been working with a few project-heavy organizations (construction, ETO manufacturing, infrastructure) that rely on ERP systems to manage operations, but when it comes to complex, project-based work, things often break down.


Some common patterns:
  • Limited visibility across phases, cost centers, or change orders
  • Manual workarounds in Excel or disconnected tools
  • ERP setups that don’t align well with project delivery or job costing models

I’m curious — how are others approaching this?
Are you customizing your ERP? Building shadow systems? Using add-ons or workflows to close the gaps?


Would love to hear what’s working — or not — in real-world environments.
