What modules does ProjectsNext include?

ProjectsNext covers preconstruction and CRM, projects and operations, procurement, logistics and stores, HR and workforce, finance and accounting, equipment and plant, customer billing, subcontractor, trading, analytics, employee self service and the AskJobNext AI layer. All of them run on one engine, so vouchers, measurements and attendance punches land in the same place.

How does ProjectsNext handle procurement and subcontractors?

Procurement runs on two tracks. The material track goes from material request to RFQ, PO and goods receipt. The service track goes from work requisition to RFP, work order, measurement and bill. Both sit with a vendor directory, L1 and L2 comparatives, rate contracts and multi-currency support.

What billing methods does ProjectsNext support?

It supports six customer billing methods: running account (RA), one-time, supply-BOQ, stage-wise, monthly and combined. Each posts straight to the ledger. The finance module is a double-entry general ledger with Party, Ledger and Job dimensions, covering AP and AR, GST, TDS and VAT, depreciation and cost allocation.

How does ProjectsNext connect site attendance to payroll?

Through the Punch Manager in the HR and Workforce module, which carries attendance through to payroll. The module also covers staff directory, recruitment, allocation, leave, timesheets, statutory payroll, training, camp and separation. Employees get a self-service portal for payslips, leave, timesheets and expense claims.

Does ProjectsNext track stores, equipment and plant?

Yes. Logistics and Stores gives lot-based stock traceability with nine issue types, transfers, adjustments and cash purchase, each movement tied to a job. Equipment and Plant uses a three-level machine master and covers capital procurement, allocation, movements, expenses, depreciation, disposal, fleet and production.
