Archer Corporation: From Projects to Maintenance

One operating environment links construction and maintenance work with sales, purchasing, inventory and accounting across a multi-project business.

About the Client

Archer Corporation is a Suez-based engineering and contracting business whose services include construction, project management and facility management. Its public portfolio spans commercial, industrial, residential, and port and logistics environments, including published work for DP World. The company therefore works across two connected phases: delivering projects and maintaining facilities after delivery. Archer Solutions' ERP engagement covered one company and multiple projects; the scope focused on construction, maintenance and the commercial and financial processes that support them.

Business Challenges

  • Excel-based records made construction projects and ongoing maintenance difficult to coordinate through one consistent operating view.
  • Purchasing and inventory activity needed to relate to the project or maintenance work that required materials.
  • Sales and accounting records needed a clearer connection to operational activity across multiple projects.
  • Management needed comparable project and maintenance information without relying on separate spreadsheets as the main coordination layer.

ERP Solution Delivered

Archer Solutions implemented Odoo for Archer Corporation across construction, maintenance, sales, purchasing, inventory, projects and accounting. Project and service work can be recorded alongside the materials and financial records that support it. The system moves key operational information from Excel into a shared environment for the company's multi-project work, while preserving the distinction between construction delivery and ongoing maintenance. A project can be followed through its commercial and materials activity, while maintenance work retains its own service context. This gives operational and finance teams a common basis for reviewing work across multiple projects without presenting construction and facility service as the same process. The distinction matters when a completed project becomes an ongoing service responsibility. Both phases remain visible in the same operational record.

Implementation Approach

The August 2025–January 2026 engagement organized construction and maintenance workflows in one Odoo environment. It joined the operating records for projects and service work with the sales, materials, purchasing and accounting functions needed to support them.

01 Mapped the Excel-based project and maintenance records and the links required between operational and commercial teams.
02 Configured the construction, project and maintenance workflows for the company's multi-project structure.
03 Connected sales, purchasing, inventory and accounting with the relevant operational records.
04 Validated the connected workflows and completed the implementation in January 2026.

Results and Business Impact

Construction and maintenance activity can be managed in the same Odoo environment while retaining their different work types.
Purchasing, inventory and accounting records are connected to the operational context that creates them.
Multi-project information no longer depends on Excel as the only common coordination layer.
The delivered scope provides a common record for work that begins as a project and continues as facility maintenance.
