To **automate processes in construction companies**, start with the flows that cross the site and the office: purchase requests, payment approvals, project stages, and fleet costs. These are where delays turn into money, and where the **ERP** alone rarely reaches.

## Why construction operations resist standardization

Every site is slightly different, which is exactly why processes drift.

- Purchase requests approved verbally on site
- Stage progress reported by phone and recorded days later
- Equipment and vehicle costs tracked per site in separate spreadsheets
- Suppliers and quotes compared informally, with no record of why one won

## Four flows worth automating first

| Flow                    | What automation changes                                              |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Payment approvals**   | Requests route by cost center and post to the ERP only once approved |
| **Purchasing**          | Quotes compared on record, with the chosen one justified             |
| **Project stages**      | Gantt stages and checklists replace verbal status updates            |
| **Fleet and equipment** | Fuel and maintenance costs post to accounts payable automatically    |

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Build the payment request form in **Jestor** with the **cost center** driving who approves it.
2. Hold requests in an approval queue, so nothing reaches the **ERP** before sign-off.
3. Track each site as a project, with **Gantt** stages, checklists, and expenses.
4. Register vehicles and equipment, logging maintenance and fuel against them.
5. Let approved expenses post to **Omie** as accounts payable entries.

## Why Jestor is the best complement to Omie for construction

The **Omie** integration is native, with no middleware in between — so a cost approved on site becomes a payable without an import routine, which is the concrete reason site and office stop working from different numbers.

Everything is mobile-capable, which matters when the person recording the expense is on a site rather than at a desk.

## Frequently Asked Questions
