Industry Insight: Construction

Overview

Green building, Construction Management Software, post-Covid growth… the construction industry is no stranger to modernisation. For many businesses, though, their internal processes aren’t evolving in equal measure.

This is especially true of the banking practices used in the construction industry, which are typically reliant on time-consuming manual processes. AccessPay is committed to streamlining your banking operations, providing a bridge between your ERPs and banks while allowing for total cash visibility across the board.

Right now, we’re willing to bet the following rings true for your finance or treasury functions…

You’re Having ERP Troubles

You may not realise this to be the case, but many in the construction sector are bogged down by their relationship with ERP systems.

For a start, it’s not uncommon to have more than one back-end system tying your workflows together. There isn’t necessarily anything wrong with this, but issues arise when the processes required for each differ, robbing your team of valuable time.

The more critical problem with ERP systems, however, is that they don’t natively connect to banks. This means that, without automation, you’re reliant on banking portal log-ins to conduct your banking operations, wasting hours of your day.

You Want to Modernise

Construction-based finance and treasury functions often recognise the need for workflow modernisation, but lack the funding to commit to it.

Many businesses are planning a digital transformation process or ERP upgrade – but this doesn’t guarantee automation.

To achieve this, you would need a cloud-based solution that offers a whole host of packages and payment types, helping you with everything from Bacs and CHAPS to Host-to-Host and API capabilities.

Cybersecurity is Your Main Concern

Risk is a huge factor when conducting banking operations – especially if your company is undergoing a period of growth. This is especially true for the construction sector, which is currently the number one industry hit by ransomware attacks. In fact, GCHQ has issued advice specifically for small-to-medium construction businesses.

The more sophisticated the banking process, the more likely it is to fall victim to fraud, human error, or cyberattack.

By removing manual processes from your workflow and using a pure-cloud solution, you can drastically reduce the influence of cybersecurity concerns in your business.
