Packages, Subcontractors and Billing on One Platform

The Challenge

Big projects, cost and billing in silos

Each project ran as packages with many subcontractors, but procurement, billing and cost sat in different systems. Group reporting was stitched together by hand, revenue recognition lagged, and leadership never saw current cost or margin across projects.

• Project systems did not share a common cost structure.
• Subcontractor measurement and billing were manual.
• Revenue recognition lagged behind the work done.
• No live view of cost or margin across projects.

The Solution

One SAP S/4HANA platform across projects

We rolled out SAP S/4HANA with the project system at the centre, connecting BOQ, procurement, subcontractor billing and the universal journal. Cost and revenue now post to the same live data across every project.

• Project structures with packages and cost objects.
• Subcontractor work, measurement and billing in one flow.
• Progress billing and revenue recognition aligned to work.
• Embedded analytics for live cost and margin.

How We Delivered

A template, proven then rolled out

We built a project template with the controls team, proved it on one large project through a full billing and certification cycle, then rolled it across the others. We migrated project and vendor data with checks and trained each team on its part.

Go-live took twenty weeks, with TCB on site through the first project close.

The Outcome

Live cost and a faster close

Leadership now sees cost and margin across every project in real time, subcontractor billing is clean, and revenue recognition keeps pace with the work. The group close is faster because the data is already consolidated.
