The mushrooming realty market in India can easily be termed the realty bazaar, commented an international real estate consultant recently. In tune with the outlook, architecture and construction companies are now deep into implementing information technology (IT) in a big way.
These companies are tackling two areas — at the enterprise and design levels. Take the case of Srushti Constructions, for instance. The company. which was till last year having a relatively small turnover, is all enthusiastic about implementing a highly customised ERP (enterprise resource planning) solution to centralise its day-to-day workings and get real-time information.
Vivek L. Halbe, chief executive officer, Srushti Constrcutions, and Head, Design and Knowledge Engineering, says, “We are constantly faced with situations of different distributors, materials and wastage tracking at many of our sites. Collating the information and getting real-time inventory data is critical for us.”
There are other issues that dog the companies. Forecasting and supply chain management are matters of concern too. “At the team-level too, we plan to grow rapidly from our current 12-member team to about 50. The challenge thus is to define business processes along with the ERP implementations and then outsource them to a partner who can do the job for us,” Mr. Halbe says. With the implementation of ERP solution, Srushti aims to achieve real-time availability of inventory levels of all materials across the organisation; eliminate the need for reconciliation across various branches; improve traceability in sub-contracting materials; and so on.
