Why Most ERPs Fail in Construction — and How Highbar Gets It Right
Connect With Us
ERP software is often seen as the “game-changer” in the construction and real estate sectors. However, the truth is otherwise; most ERP projects do not bring the anticipated ROI.
Research indicates that more than 55% of ERP implementations fail to meet budget, timelines, or anticipated results.
Highbar Technocrat, a reputable ERP implementation partner in India, we have witnessed this phenomenon time and again:
Big construction companies spend big money on ERPs, only to abandon or underimplement them within a few years. These pitfalls may be avoided—provided they are understood.
What Causes the Overwhelming Majority of ERPs to Fall Short in Construction Industrial Applications?
Most providers implement generic manufacturing ERP or retail ERP, hoping it will apply to construction processes.
But construction projects are different—detailed project lifecycles, management of subcontractors, operations at multiple sites, and volatile material prices. A system that is not revised to these facts is inclined to bring more issues than benefits.
Lack of Industry-Specific Expertise
Selecting the correct ERP software is half the battle won. Without an implementation partner that knows the technology as well as the construction nuances.
ERP adoption loses out. Non-specialist vendors overlook essential features such as real-time site location, equipment utilisation reports, or milestone-based billing.
Poor Change Management
Construction crews tend to be field-based, and not every team member feels at ease with new technology.
With inadequate onboarding, training, and user adoption, ERP systems are resisted. This results in inaccurate data input, partial adoption, and eventual abandonment.
Integration Challenges
Most real estate companies have legacy systems or multiple software platforms—accounting, payroll, and procurement.
Unless the ERP is integrated easily, users find themselves duplicating effort or skipping the system altogether.
Unrealistic Implementation Timelines
In construction, rushed ERP rollouts lead to errors and rework—phased, well-tested launches save time and money.
How Highbar Gets ERP Implementation Right
As a leading provider of ERP services in Mumbai and across India, Highbar Technocrat specialises in delivering ERP solutions built specifically for engineering, construction, and real estate companies.
Here’s Highbar Technocrat’s approach towards ERP Implementations:
Industry-Focused ERP Selection
We do not think that generic tools should be pushed onto construction processes.
Our solutions are based on established ERP platforms, pre-configured with project planning, contract management, procurement, inventory control, and on-site reporting modules—tailored for your world.
Deep Construction Expertise
Our solution team pairs technology experts with experts who have actual-world experience in EPC and the real estate sectors. This means your ERP is built on your operational realities from day one.
Change Management at the Core
We know ERP acceptance is as much about humans as it is about software. From leadership workshops to on-site user training, we get every stakeholder the “why” and “how” behind the system.
Seamless Integrations
Highbar ERP implementations integrate seamlessly with your current tools—be it accounting software, HR platforms, or IoT-enabled equipment trackers—so data flows without duplicating effort manually.
Phased & Realistic Rollouts
We work in stages to prevent disruption. Pilot programs enable us to validate configurations, train core teams, and process-crafting before company-wide deployment.
Post-Go-Live Support
Most vendors go dark after go-live. At Highbar, we offer post-go-live support, performance tracking, and system tuning to keep your ERP driving value.
