Tender Management for Construction & Engineering Projects

From Tender Preparation to Project Execution, All in One System

Saturn Tender Management provides a centralized interface to manage tender details, schedules, documents, and commercial terms for higher accuracy. Built on Epicor ERP, tender costing is driven directly by actual material prices, labor costs, subcontract costs, and overhead structures.

  • Centralized Tender Control — client, scope, schedule and compliance in one interface
  • ERP-Based Costing — accurate tenders using actual material and labor data
  • Approval Workflow — review margin, risk and assumptions before submission
  • Tender-to-Project Continuity — preserve budget and billing terms when awarded

What we bid is what we execute — no rework, no surprises.

Saturn Contract Management provides a structured approach to manage project contracts, billing terms, and revenue rules. Integrated contract data delivers real-time visibility from award through completion.

  • Multiple Billing Terms
  • Revenue Recognition Control
  • Project-Based Rate Rules
  • Financial Integration
  • Lifecycle Visibility

When contract terms, billing, and costs are connected, we manage projects with far more confidence.

Job Management

Controlled Change, Clear Financial Impact

Saturn provides a structured interface to manage all project variation orders. From scope change requests through approval and financial updates, every variation is tracked to protect margin and contract compliance. Approved variations automatically update budget, project cost, and contract value.

  • Centralized VO Capture — record scope changes with contract, project, location, and reason
  • Approval Workflow Control — multi-level authorization before variations proceed
  • Budget & Cost Integration — auto-update project budget, forecast, and cost impact
  • Contract Value Adjustment — sync approved variations to revised contract values
  • Billing & Claim Readiness — link variations to quotation and invoicing

Every change is approved with clarity — we know why it changed, who approved it, and how it affects the project.

Project Management

Full Project Control from Award to Completion

Saturn Project Management provides a centralized workspace to manage project details, schedules, roles, and contract milestones. Define scope, timeline, contract terms, and more — all in one integrated interface with full traceability.

  • Centralized Project Master — dates, duration, job nature, contract details in one view
  • Contract & Insurance Tracking — bond, insurance, retention, compliance
  • Milestone & Phase Management — clear phases for execution control
  • Cost & Revenue Alignment — connect project costs, billing, revenue recognition
  • Execution Readiness — convert approved projects into executable jobs without re-entry

Once the project is set up properly, execution becomes much easier.

Advanced Budget Management

Multi-Year Budget Control with Real-Time Visibility

Construction projects often span multiple years and cost phases. Saturn Advanced Budget Management provides a structured project budget view by fiscal year, cost code, and cost category, keeping spend plans aligned with project schedule and cash flow expectations.

  • Multi-Year Budget Planning — define and manage budgets across fiscal years
  • Cost-Code Level Control — material, labor, subcontract, internal charges
  • Real-Time Budget vs Actual — commitments and spend visibility
  • Variance Monitoring — identify risks early and take corrective action
  • Controlled Budget Adjustments — audit trails for revisions and re-forecasting

We no longer wait until month-end to find issues — budget risks are visible as they happen.

  • Mobile Inspection & Quality Control — capture results, photos, notes
  • Work Scheduling & Task Visibility — daily plans and task status
  • Mobile Timesheet & Labor Tracking — punch-in and labor time
  • Real-Time Progress Updates — phase and completion percentage
  • Seamless ERP Integration — all mobile data syncs to central system

When costs, progress, and margins are visible, control becomes natural.

Inventory Management

Clear Quantity Control from Contract to Execution

Saturn Bill of Quantities (BQ) and inventory management provide a structured view of contract, sketch, drawing, and actual execution quantities. See where quantity differences come from and how they affect cost and material use, with direct links to materials, labor, and production data.

  • Multi-Source Quantity Comparison — contract, sketch, drawing side by side
  • Wastage & Adjustment Tracking — visibility of wastage and changed quantities
  • Material & Order Control — BQ linked to material orders and production
  • Real-Time Balance Monitoring — ordered, used, and remaining quantities

We finally see where quantity differences come from — before they turn into cost disputes.
