AI Drives Intelligent Construction Financials and ERP
For most construction pros, their top priorities are delivering projects in scope and on time. Achieving this can be done in part by setting up the back office with the right tools, to keep the back end running smoothly while teams are executing the project. The right ERP can be the backbone of your operation. But for many, these systems remain disconnected, leading to data siloes and wasted spending on unnecessary construction reworks.
Recent data from an Intuit whitepaper reveals that 92% of construction businesses want a single, integrated platform to manage both projects and financials. As costs rise and labor constraints persist, the need to bridge the gap between the office and the field has never been more critical.
Construction professionals are increasingly looking to technology solutions to drive productivity and offset rising costs. With AI spending in the industry expected to surge 44% year-over-year, the opportunity to scale is here.
Enter Intuit Enterprise Suite. With a construction edition designed specifically for the complexities of the industry, this AI-powered ERP is built to help businesses scale. Unlike other ERP systems for industry-specific use, the construction edition for Intuit Enterprise Suite is intentionally created to reflect how construction businesses actually work. The solution brings project, financial, and operational workflows together in one place, helping customers streamline operations, improve cash flow, and deliver real-time visibility into performance to drive profitable growth at scale. Intuit Enterprise Suite can also assist your project teams in job-cost forecasting by leveraging AI-driven insights and digital proposals to bid faster, improve estimate accuracy, and win more work–all while having visibility into costs, approvals, and change orders.
A few standout features of the Intuit Enterprise Suite construction edition include:
- Project Management Agent: Stay on top of cash flow, profitability, and effective project management in one place, planning and tracking budgets and progress against project phases. Early users of the Project Management Agent have seen a 60% reduction in the manual steps it takes to set up a project.
- Project budgets enhancements: Control costs, keep projects on track, and protect margins with a simplified budget setup, real-time AI-powered insights, and more comprehensive project budget reporting.
- Proposals: Win more bids, create proposals from estimates or vice versa, and build a customized proposal document with integrated e-signatures using a proposal document builder.
- Cost groups: Plan and track project costs for better job costing and project profitability tracking by designating industry-standard cost groups, including labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractors, tracking cost groups across budgets, expenses, POs, and bills.
- AIA-style invoicing: Track the total contract value on estimate, invoiced to date, invoice amount, and remaining balance at the phase level.
Intuit was recently named a Constructech 2026 Top Products award in the category of financial, ERP & business operations systems. Each year, Constructech highlights the most innovative and impactful technologies shaping the industry through its “Top Products” awards. The goal of this research is to help industry professionals identify the technologies best positioned to support their businesses in the year ahead and beyond.
With more than 90% of construction businesses agreeing that digital tools are just as important as physical ones, what steps will you take to upgrade your tools to improve your operational agility and ultimately grow your business?
