NAVAX offers standards-compliant construction ERP software for contractors and specialty trades: estimating, project files, equipment, billing and payroll on one platform, from the bid to the final invoice.
In construction, profit is made on the job site and often only becomes visible in the office when it is too late. Here are four places where construction companies most often lose money and time.
Daywork reports, delivery notes and hours reach the office on paper: days later, incomplete and hard to read.
How NAVAX solves it: Mobile data capture on the job site and a digital project file: hours, material, photos and reports are on the project immediately.
The estimate lives in one program, actual costs in another. Deviations only surface in the post-calculation.
How NAVAX solves it: Estimating, cost accounting and project controlling on the same data. Planned versus actual per bid item, continuously instead of at the end.
Partial and progress invoices are created by hand, retentions and early-payment discounts tracked in spreadsheets. Liquidity is an estimate.
How NAVAX solves it: Progress and partial invoices straight from construction progress, construction accounting and liquidity management across all job sites.
Who works on which site, which machine is where, and how did the supplier perform last time? That knowledge lives in people's heads.
How NAVAX solves it: Subcontractor management, supplier evaluation and equipment management in the same system, with availability, costs and history.
Fourteen add-ons for Business Central, tailored to the commercial and technical requirements of construction. Filter by the area you are working on right now.

Job site & equipmentRecord hours, material, site diary and photos by tablet or smartphone directly on the job site: posted to the project, visible in the office.
Job site & equipmentWhere is which machine, when is it free, what does each use cost? Dispatching, maintenance and internal charging to job sites.
Job site & equipmentTake quantities and components from the model and connect them with estimating, awarding and billing.
Job site & equipmentSubcontractor orders, change orders, compliance documents and invoices per job site, with deadlines and missing documents in view.
Subcontractors & suppliersDocument on-time performance, quality and price per supplier and subcontractor as a basis for the next award.
Subcontractors & suppliersPartial, progress and final invoices directly from construction progress, with retentions, early-payment discounts and deduction of previous invoices.
Billing & financeFinancial accounting with the specifics of construction: reverse charge on construction services, retentions and guarantees.
Billing & financePayroll for construction workers with allowances and job site allocation. The hours come straight from the job site.
Billing & financeCash flow planning across all job sites: expected progress payments, payments to subcontractors and suppliers, retentions.
Billing & financeBundle safety, health, environment and quality metrics from your projects as the basis for your sustainability report.
Estimating & controllingGeneral contractor, specialty contractor or developer: NAVAX combines construction expertise with IT know-how and starts from your processes, not from a model company.
Large job sites, many trades, own equipment.
Little self-performed work, many subcontractors.
Electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing.
Many smaller jobs with short durations.
Develop projects, have them built and market them.
The first step toward digital construction is often the smallest: everything created on the job site ends up in one place and is visible in the office right away.
NAVAX starts where your projects are planned and built, in the office and on the job site. That way the solution fits your processes, not the other way around.
Together with estimating, site management, payroll and accounting, we walk through your processes, from the bid to the final invoice.
What does the standard cover, which add-ons are added, what is deliberately left out? In writing, before anything is built.
Step by step instead of everything on one cut-over date, ideally when new job sites start. Key users and foremen are trained along the way.
Support and further development from a single source, with a team that knows construction workflows, not just your ticket.
What construction companies most often want to know before choosing new construction software.
One that covers commercial and technical requirements in a single system: estimating, project controlling, billing, payroll and accounting. NAVAX builds on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with add-ons for construction, so office and job site work with the same data.
From the recorded construction progress per bid item. Retentions, early-payment discounts and progress payments already invoiced are taken into account automatically; the final invoice is created from the same data.
Hours, material, site diary, photos and daywork reports, captured on tablet or smartphone directly on the project. What the foreman and site manager record is immediately available in the office for payroll, billing and controlling.
Quantities and components from the model can be used for estimating and billing. Which design tools and formats you use is something we clarify in the initial meeting.
Yes, including the specifics of construction workers such as allowances and job site allocation. The hours come directly from mobile data capture, with no paper timesheets. Which collective agreements and special rules apply to you, we record in the initial meeting.
No. Moving from Navision or Dynamics NAV to Business Central is an upgrade, not a fresh start: master data and processes are carried over, customizations are reviewed and, where possible, replaced by standard functionality or add-ons.
