Why Top Contractors Put Their Trust in Commander ERP

In the pavement and construction industry, success doesn’t just come from doing great work, it comes from managing it smarter. Between client expectations, multiple projects, and tight deadlines, running a paving business can quickly become overwhelming if everything is scattered across spreadsheets or disconnected tools.

That’s where Commander ERP steps in, a powerful, all-in-one pavement management software designed to bring order, automation, and real-time visibility into your operations. Built specifically for paving and infrastructure companies, Commander ERP helps you take full control of your business from bids to billing.

One Platform, Total Control

Most contractors use multiple software tools to manage scheduling, payroll, and project tracking and end up losing time syncing data between them. Commander ERP eliminates that problem by unifying every workflow into one connected platform.

When everything from employee dashboards to company performance, CRM, projects, and fuel management runs under a single system, you can make faster, data-driven decisions and focus on what truly matters: delivering quality and growing profitably.

Comprehensive Dashboards for Clear Oversight

Employee Dashboard

Managing field staff, office employees, and subcontractors becomes effortless with Commander ERP’s Employee Dashboard.

You can track time, tasks, and project assignments, giving both managers and team members real-time visibility into performance and productivity.

Company Performance Dashboard

The Company Performance module turns raw data into actionable insights. Whether you want to view sales reports, operations, material reports, or fuel and payroll analytics, this dashboard keeps every department aligned.
With Commander ERP, you can see where profits are coming from, identify inefficiencies, and make quick adjustments to stay on target.

CRM & Opportunities: Win More Business

Contractors know that relationships are everything. Commander ERP’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module centralizes client data, ensuring no follow-up or opportunity gets lost.

The integrated Opportunities and Bids sections help your sales and estimating teams manage prospects, track proposal statuses, and convert opportunities into confirmed projects faster.

Instead of juggling emails or sticky notes, your entire sales pipeline lives in one organized, easy-to-access workspace.

Projects & Scheduling: Execute With Precision

Project Management Made Simple

Commander ERP’s Projects module gives you full visibility into every active and completed job. From scope and costing to materials, resources, and deadlines, everything is tracked in real time.

Managers can instantly check project health, identify delays, and optimize crew utilization.

Task Scheduling

The Task Schedule feature ensures that every crew member knows what to do, where to go, and when to start. Assign tasks, monitor progress, and keep everyone synchronized.

No more last-minute calls or confusion, Commander ERP keeps your projects on schedule and under control.

Time Tracking That Works for You

Time is money, literally. With Time Tracker and Time Log History, Commander ERP allows employees to log hours easily, and managers to verify work in seconds.

Whether your crews are on-site or in the office, time tracking becomes accurate, transparent, and effortless.

These modules feed directly into Payroll, ensuring every hour is accounted for and processed correctly, saving administrative time and reducing costly errors.

Seamless Payroll and Financial Management

Managing labor costs is one of the biggest challenges in any paving business. Commander ERP’s Payroll module integrates directly with time logs and job costing, ensuring that wages are processed accurately and on time.

Combined with Supplier, Product, and Service management, the platform helps you maintain a clear financial overview, from procurement to project delivery.

You’ll always know exactly where your money is going and how much you’re making on each job.

Operational Efficiency at Its Best

Configuration Flexibility

Commander ERP recognizes that every company works differently. The Configuration options let you customize modules, workflows, and reporting formats, ensuring the system fits your business, not the other way around.

Supplier & Product Management

Manage supplier data, track materials, and control procurement effortlessly. Commander ERP ensures the right materials are delivered to the right project on time and within budget.

Service Management

For companies offering multiple service types (paving, maintenance, sealcoating, striping, etc.), Commander ERP lets you manage and price each service independently, making cost tracking and reporting more precise.

Fuel & Maintenance: Keeping Your Fleet Efficient

Fleet and equipment management are crucial in pavement operations. The Fuel & Maintenance module tracks every vehicle and piece of equipment in your fleet including fuel consumption, maintenance schedules, and service history.

This helps reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and minimize operational costs.

With Commander ERP, you’ll know exactly when each vehicle needs attention before small issues turn into expensive breakdowns.

Communication Made Simple

Keeping teams informed is key to maintaining productivity. The News Bulletin and News Publish features help managers share updates, company news, safety reminders, and announcements instantly across the organization.

No more relying on group chats or scattered emails your team always stays informed.

Pavement Business Scorecard: Your Performance Mirror

Commander ERP’s Pavement Business Scorecard turns business intelligence into your competitive advantage.
With one glance, management can evaluate performance metrics such as project profitability, operational efficiency, sales success, and team productivity.
This holistic view helps you make informed, data-driven decisions that move your company forward with confidence.
