As part of the recent introduction of its new COINS OA system, P Elliott & Co required a contract financial reporting solution that automated its manual reporting process, whilst maintaining the same level of detail and in the same clear and familiar format.

The Executive Dashboard technology introduced as part of COINS Open Archiecture (OA) Reporting was selected as the first step to deliver this solution. There are a growing number of Executive Dashboard “templates” available that can be easily customised to meet the requirements of any reporting structure.

Using COINS OA, the Cost Value Reconciliation (CVR) process allows P Elliott’s users at its head office and on site to quickly monitor and investigate the financial status of projects, using an interactive Executive Dashboard which mirrors their traditional CVR printed reports. Financial Controller Mary Keegan states, “The new automated process has hugely reduced the amount of effort and workload required to produce CVRs within the company. As the initial implementation phase comes to an end, I look forward to further training on OA Reporting so that we can customise the templates available and continue to develop our reporting and use of Executive Dashboards.”

P Elliott & Co Ltd is the largest construction and property development company in Ulster and is ranked in the top ten construction companies in Ireland. The company was founded in 1942, now has a turnover approaching €250 million, a staff of over 300 and a portfolio of construction projects which are testament to the organisation’s success.
