One System, One Source of Truth
Georgiou’s Project Controls Manager, Craig Dovey, was looking for one software system to manage the company’s project management processes.
Before the introduction of Access COINS ERP+, Georgiou had numerous software programs for procurement, payroll, invoicing, forecasting and asset management.
Project reporting was difficult as information wasn’t accurate and didn’t sync across systems, resulting in monthly reviews, at times, being delayed.
Project managers were spending a lot of time on admin, double checking costs and forecasts to ensure they were accurate.

By implementing Access COINS ERP+, Georgiou was able to combine all elements of its project management systems into one single platform, saving time, money and frustrations come end-of-month reporting.
“When choosing software solutions, we weren’t looking for what worked best for the accountants, but what would be best for projects, and the construction people on site,” Mr Dovey said.
It just made sense to have everything in one system like Access COINS, it made such a huge difference to the day-to-day business.

Accurate Data to Improve Project Control
Georgiou uses COINS ERP+ on a daily basis in many areas of the business to streamline project management and access reliable data in real-time, including invoicing, asset management, forecasting, procurement and payroll.
Project managers have complete control of how their projects are progressing. They can easily jump into the system and see what areas of a project are performing well and what areas aren’t. They have all the information they require to monitor projects at their fingertips.
COINS has streamlined our monthly project reviews because we now have confidence that numbers are accurate.

“We’re able to just dive into areas that need our attention, rather than spending time ensuring accuracy,” Dovey said.
Georgiou’s senior managers are relying on data from COINS to monitor performance and cash flow, and feed into business-wide forecasting.
COINS provides Georgiou with the certainty for management to makes decisions on tendering for major projects with confidence, knowing the system can handle the project management and reporting requirements.
With COINS being very construction specific, and having such a modern user interface, it was the obvious choice for us.
