Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Unanet ERP for AE for all of our project management and financial/accounting needs. All our bookkeeping is done in Unanet ERP for AE. We use it to house project data for nearly 3,000 projects in a year. We also use it for budgeting purposes and all historical data and accounting needs.

  • Gives the ability to view financial data in a variety of formats and using different reports, from Balance Sheets and Income Statements to custom reports for each different team
  • Customizable dashboards to allow for all data to be housed in one central place
  • Allows integration of payroll reports and HR data to be tied in with employee profiles in one singular database

Cons

  • The user interface and the intuition of the platform could be improved. The system is only as good as what you put into it, but it would be nice if it took some of the thought out of processed for you.
  • Looks a bit outdated as far as colors/design

  • We have seen the most revenue growth in the history of our company every year for the past five years since implementing Unanet ERP for AE.
