Why Construction Gély Chose NetSuite ERP and GURUS Solutions to Modernize Arctic Construction Operations

 

Construction Gély is a construction company based in northern Quebec, primarily operating in the Arctic regions above the 55th parallel.

Founded in the 1970s, Construction Gély has over 50 years of experience in various construction fields, including residential, institutional, commercial, and infrastructure projects such as roads, airports, and renovations of homes and schools.

Working in these remote areas requires complex logistics due to the lack of access roads, adding an extra challenge to their operations.

The Challenge: An End-of-Life Accounting System Holding Back Operations

Construction Gély faced several challenges related to the use of an aging accounting system. This system was nearing end-of-life, with support services soon to be discontinued. "The accounting system we currently use is reaching end-of-life, and we expect to no longer have services in the coming years. We also had quite a few issues in our processes—many duplicate entries, manual processes, and difficulties in certain departments communicating crucial information for project management, finance, and from receiving to shipping." — Matthieu Portugal, Quality and Compliance Coordinator at Construction Gély "

There are high risks of errors, time losses; we wanted to try to regain some efficiency wherever we could." — Matthieu Portugal, Quality and Compliance Coordinator at Construction Gély

The manual processes and duplicate data entries created inefficiencies and high risks of errors, negatively impacting project management and financial operations. Construction Gély needed an integrated ERP system capable of meeting their specific needs while improving communication and efficiency across different departments.

Finding the Right NetSuite Implementation Partner

Recognizing the need for a robust solution, Construction Gély began the journey to find a partner that could help them modernize their systems. They enlisted a consultant to analyze their internal needs.

Their goal was to find a solution capable of managing multi-company requirements and the unique specifics of Arctic construction, while ensuring a well-supported implementation process.

After thorough research and evaluation, Construction Gély identified NetSuite, in partnership with GURUS Solutions, as the ideal solution to meet their needs.

“We worked with a consultant who came to analyze our internal needs. We needed something that could meet our multi-company criteria, the specifics of construction with very particular needs, but we also had the importance of the implementation team, the implementation process, the support, etc.”
