How Odoo ERP Streamlines Construction Project Management: From Quotation to Billing in One Platform
Managing construction projects requires coordination, transparency, and real-time data across multiple teams and departments. Whether you're a contractor, architect, or project manager, relying on spreadsheets and disconnected systems can slow down progress and eat into profits.
