What makes KUMAVISION solutions special is that they combine commercial and operational project management. Especially for projects typical for this industry with long durations and many participants, companies maintain an overview of project progress and profitability at all times.
Advantage Cloud
KUMAVISION consistently relies on the operator model Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), the ERP industry software KUMAVISION project365 has also been available as a SaaS offering for several years. The provision from the Cloud offers companies in the construction and real estate industry multiple advantages: Employees can work remotely from any location, for example, on construction sites or during customer visits. The ERP industry software is also easily scalable and thus optimally adapts to company development. Automatic updates ensure that customers always work with the latest version and have timely access to the latest features and technologies, such as AI. The AI assistant Microsoft Copilot can be used directly in the software. In addition, the in-house IT department is relieved, as the provider manages the operation in the Cloud takes over.
Seamless GAEB and HOAI integration
Industry-specific features such as the GAEB interface and HOAI integration optimize participation in tenders. Received GAEB files for bid creation are imported into the business software at the click of a button. The bid created there can then be easily made available again in GAEB format. Companies thus benefit from precise and simple calculations, including surcharges, overheads, and profit margins. The direct and complete recording of all HOAI-relevant data, including cost estimates according to DIN 276, forms the basis for seamless, efficient work through the integration of the service descriptions into project planning, project management, and project controlling.
The business software specialist also sees great potential for the industry in the area of digital invoice processing: "The automated processing of incoming invoices and the provision or capture of e-invoices directly in the ERP industry software not only saves time and reduces the error rate, but also relieves the burden on specialists. Through the exchange within the BVBS, we want to identify further areas of action where we can strengthen the competitiveness of the industry," adds Vanessa Schillings.
