The situation
What finance needed to control
Materials, subcontractor charges and variations landed at different times. By the time the ledger showed the full cost, the job was often finished.
The existing enterprise platform carried licence and support overhead that did not match a single-entity contractor. The administrative work around invoices and job allocation remained manual.
What TechFarben did
Built the operating path end to end
- Migrated finance to a platform proportionate to the business and rationalised the chart on the way.
- Preserved and reconciled financial history for comparison.
- Tracked purchases, materials and subcontractor charges against jobs during delivery.
- Automated invoice capture, matching, categorisation and routine follow-up within defined approval thresholds.
- Kept support proportionate to the business after the migration.
The result
What changed in operation
Job cost is visible while work is still active. Finance can identify margin pressure before completion.
The business removed enterprise overhead and retained the automation it actually needs. Day-to-day operation sits with the team, supported by a smaller run model.
