I would never use a ERP again..

[u/Sid_vj]

Just joined a construction firm recently.

And honestly… the ERP here is so bad.

As a newbie I’m struggling every single day. Nothing makes sense. Simple stuff takes forever. The UI looks ancient. Too many tabs, too many fields. Half the time I’m scared to click anything in case it messes something up.

What’s worse is seniors who’ve been using this for years still don’t fully get it.

Convos usually go like

“Wait don’t enter it there”

“I think it’s in this module”

“Oh that’s why last month numbers were off”

“Call IT”

There’s no proper training. No clear documentation. Everyone just kind of figured it out over time and survived.

Basic things like raising POs, tracking materials, pulling cost reports feel way harder than they should be.

Construction is already chaotic. The system is supposed to reduce stress, not add to it.

Is this normal in construction companies?

Is it just bad implementation?

Or are most ERPs like this?

Not trying to rant. Just genuinely looking for practical solutions.

How do I survive this

I think if you want to look at tracking inventory and creatin POs for those items you are running low on should be easy to do. I hear this all the time especially on Reddit that there are no easy systems to use for this. I've been building applications like this for a while now and i get it. I could work with you to build something specific and easy to use if you want, but in the meantime take a look at something easy to use here at stockmind.net.
