P. Elliott & Co. Ltd. has joined the growing community of contractors and developers in Ireland to select COINS. 

The Elliott Family business was founded in 1942 and, now, over sixty years later, that same family business has grown into one of Ireland's leading construction and property development firms with a turnover of over €150m; a staff of over 250; and a portfolio of construction projects which bear out its success. P Elliott & Co Ltd is now one of the largest construction companies in Ulster and a its 2004 turnover will place it in the top construction companies in Ireland.

The company boasts a comprehensive portfolio of medium and large scale building projects, right across the commercial, industrial, retail, residential, leisure and public sector spectrums.

Noel Elliott states “Our wide experience reflects our ability to meet any challenge, so we need the right systems in place. As our business has grown significantly in recent years, we needed a system to support ‘best practice’ processes and further our regional expansion.
We recognize COINS has a proven track record of implementing system and business process change in the Irish construction industry for both contracting and property development. This is ideal for P. Elliott”.

P. Elliott will initially implement a 75 user COINS system covering Financials, Payroll, Procurement , Plant Management and Human Resources running from a central HP server.
Ray Fallon, Finance Director, states: “We selected COINS because of the depth of functionality in the product that supported the areas of our business. For example the operational modules included procurement, plant hire, commercial, house sales, customer care and cash flow and profit forecasting. We also wanted to select a supplier with whom we could work in partnership and have the confidence in their ability to deliver – COINS gave us that.
We also recognize that COINS Open Architecture is a modern future proof technology that will enable our users to access COINS over the web through a browser.”

The COINS system will be setup using the “Firstbase” configuration. This is designed on industry standards and will enable P. Elliott to be up and running relatively quickly.
The second phase of the project will involve the roll out of coins to our regions and sites.

COINS is used by 40% of the top 20 construction companies in Ireland, which includes Building and Civil Engineering Contractors, House Builders and M & E Specialists.
