Constellation CRM Purchasing


Constellation’s CRM Purchasing software system for homebuilders manages single or multi-vendor purchase orders for both design center and sales office options, to control variances and keep budgets and projects on track.

Constellation CRM Purchasing software coordinates daily homebuilding functions by providing automated information to manage and control costs.

You’ll link purchase orders and work orders to schedules, and coordinate field superintendents with the back office, managing variances on all levels real-time. For instance, if there is a price increase on an item after the buyer selects it and before a purchase order is approved and the work is completed, the system generates a Variance PO (VPO), while ensuring the original PO remains the same.

Constellation CRM Purchasing reduces workflow and optimizes business practices. Once approved, you can either automatically generate or manually prepare purchase orders. It’s your choice. By automating the flow of information, you’ll eliminate misplaced paperwork and track all purchase orders for sold and inventory homes. Coordinate accounting and estimating applications to better manage the entire production process.

The software reduces the time it takes to create realistic budgets and quotes and optimizes best business practices, including profit analysis, cost control, variance tracking, variance cost analysis, payment processing, custom reporting, labor and sub-trade cost management and much more.

The system’s flexible configuration engine allows an assigned vendor, who handles multiple products and job contracts, to produce a PO for two or more functions, such as electrical and plumbing, and automatically creates the PO appropriately.

You’ll generate and track custom option quotes for multiple vendors and track competitive bids. For example, if a homebuyer wants to install a pool, the system allows the builder to get competitive bids and, after vendor selection, that bid will automatically generate a PO saving you time and eliminating errors.

  • Ensure profitability by managing variances as they occur, thereby improving overall “best practice” production efficiencies
  • Track multiple vendor POs easily and track competitive bids to improve your vendor selection process
  • Save time and eliminate errors on custom quotes, multiple supplier purchase orders and receive up-to-date information when you need it
