TruNova for your industry
Engineering and construction
TruNova helps engineering and construction firms connect estimates, project delivery, field updates, costs, and billing. We assess business applications around your contract model and existing project tools, then plan improvements with the people doing the work. Strong foundations matter. Yes, we're talking about the systems this time.
Keep the job and the numbers together.
A closer look at the work between teams, systems, and decisions.
- Estimate and contract
- Field work and changes
- Cost and billing
Estimate to invoice
Connect the commercial promise to scope, schedule, time, expenses, change, and billing decisions. Project Operations or Business Central may support parts of the flow, subject to the organization’s contract model and financial structure.
Field capture that reaches the office
Give project teams a practical way to record progress, issues, materials, and time where the work happens. Power Apps can be assessed against connectivity, device use, approval needs, and the systems that own the project record.
Project financial visibility
Make budget, committed cost, actuals, forecast, and margin easier to discuss before surprises become closeout problems. Power BI can present the view after the project definitions and source data are made consistent.
Which tools fit the work?
Start with the process. These are some of the Microsoft applications TruNova can help you evaluate, implement, and connect.
Dynamics 365 Project Operations
Project sales, resource planning, delivery, time, and billing.
Dynamics 365 Business Central
Finance, purchasing, inventory, and the records behind operational decisions.
Power BI
Reporting that brings agreed measures and connected data sources into view.
Power Apps
Applications for the forms, requests, and operational steps your team needs.
Power Automate
Approvals, notifications, and repeatable steps between supported systems.
Discovery should account for accounting, estimating, scheduling, BIM, document, subcontractor, field, procurement, and payroll systems that carry project detail.
Before you start
Questions worth asking
Can Project Operations connect with our accounting and estimating tools?
It may, depending on the tools, interfaces, project structures, and ownership of contract and cost data. Discovery maps estimate, contract, schedule, field, time, expense, and billing records before we recommend an integration or a narrower handoff.
Do we need to replace our project system to improve reporting?
No. A reporting review can often start with the records and measures already available. We identify where the data disagrees, what the current system should continue to own, and whether Power BI or a process change is enough for the decision at hand.
What is a practical first project for a construction team?
Choose a project with a visible handoff problem, such as field time to cost, change request to approval, or progress to billing. We map that path with the people who perform it and define a first improvement that can be tested in the real rhythm of work.
