Access COINS Gives Georgiou Group Project Management Edge
Georgiou Group is a national civil building and construction company with offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Darwin and the Gold Coast, providing a diverse range of construction services to government and private clients across Australia.
The team at Georgiou credits Access COINS ERP with transforming the company’s project management processes.
Challenge
Georgiou’s Project Controls Manager, Craig Dovey, was looking for one software system to manage the company’s project management processes.
Before the introduction of Access COINS, Georgiou had numerous software programs for procurement, payroll, invoicing, forecasting and asset management.
Project reporting was difficult as information wasn’t accurate and didn’t sync across systems, resulting in monthly reviews, at times, being delayed.
Project managers were spending a lot of time on admin, double checking costs and forecasts to ensure they were accurate.

Solution
The nation-wide business introduced Access COINS’ comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system, and it’s completely changed the way the company conducts project reviews.
Implementing Access COINS, Georgiou was able to combine all elements of its project management systems into one single platform, saving time, money and frustrations come end-of-month reporting.
Access COINS helps Georgiou’s teams on site to see how the whole project is tracking and what their daily costs are, in real time.
When choosing software solutions, we weren’t looking for what worked best for the accountants, but what would be best for projects, and the construction people on site.

“It just made sense to have everything in one system like COINS, it made such a huge difference to the day-to-day business,” Dovey said.
“With COINS being very construction specific, and having such a modern user interface, it was the obvious choice for us.”
