For The Construction Industry

One connected system for project costs, subcontractors, payroll, and billing. Dexter Plus links budgets across every active site, WPS payroll for a workforce that moves between projects, and progress billing, so what a project has committed, spent, and still owes is visible the day it changes, not at month-end.

Industry challenges

Why Construction Operations Are Hard To Control

A construction business runs several projects at once, each with its own budget, subcontractors, and timeline. When those numbers live in separate places, control slips. These are the pressures that generic accounting software was never built to handle.

01

Budgets drift when tracking lags behind spend

Disconnected material, subcontractor, and labor costs hide project overruns until it is too late to act.

02

Paying a workforce that moves between sites

Manual payroll across separate project sites risks UAE WPS deadline delays and salary processing errors.

03

Tracking what is owed, and what is held back

Failing to track subcontractor invoices, retention releases, and advance payment recoveries quietly erodes project profit margins.

04

Variations and change orders that never get billed

Verbally agreed scope changes that go unlogged result in unbilled work, forcing contractors to absorb costs.

05

Cash tied up in retention across projects

Lacking visibility into project retention holdbacks leaves capital locked away, making cash flow planning mere guesswork.

How Dexter Plus helps

How Dexter Plus ERP Helps The Construction Companies

Dexter Plus is configured for project-driven work, not a general ledger asked to behave like one. The modules below carry the workflows a contractor runs every day.

Explained

Progress Billing And Retention, Explained

Progress billing means invoicing for the value of work completed in a period, not on a flat schedule.

Retention is the share of each payment a client holds back, commonly around 5 to 10 percent, released at agreed milestones. Across several projects this becomes a large sum outside your cash flow. Dexter Plus records every retention amount and release date, so you always know what is held, by whom, and when it is due back.

VAT & e-invoicing

UAE VAT And E-invoicing For Construction

Dexter Plus automatically applies correct UAE VAT across progress claims, retentions, and construction invoices, keeping FTA returns continuously audit-ready. Built for the UAE’s phased e-invoicing mandate, it ensures your contractor billing remains fully compliant as new rules take effect.
