The construction industry is at a turning point. Companies are seeking ways to scale without compromising efficiency, but their technology stack often hinders progress. That’s why Appficiency and Lumber have partnered to help construction firms get the most out of NetSuite ERP and build a tech foundation that actually works for the way construction teams operate.

Every construction leader knows the pain points:

• Workforce management headaches with hiring, onboarding, scheduling, and payroll often live in separate systems.
• Job costing complexity makes tracking labour costs accurately against budgets difficult without unified data.
• Compliance risks from OSHA standards to labor laws, staying compliant is time-consuming and error-prone.
• Disconnected data systems where finance, HR, and project teams often operate in silos, creating inefficiencies and mistakes.

This is where NetSuite and Lumber come in.

NetSuite ERP provides the financial backbone for construction companies: project-based accounting, job costing, and real-time financial visibility.

Lumber, powered by AI, brings construction-specific workforce management to the table.

Streamlines HR processes, maintains compliance, and empowers employees with self-service access.

Shares assignments instantly, captures timesheets in real time (even in Spanish), and syncs with 20+ payroll apps.

Automates payroll securely, integrates benefits administration, and reduces compliance risk.

Syncs job codes, cost types, and labor data seamlessly into NetSuite.

Together, the integration delivers a seamless flow of information across the business. Time and labor data captured in Lumber automatically syncs to NetSuite TimeBill, ensuring accurate payroll and labor cost tracking. Job hierarchies and cost codes stay aligned between both systems, enabling precise job costing and financial reporting. Lumber’s journal entries feed directly into NetSuite for compliant, auditable financial integration, while real-time visibility connects field operations with back-office finance, giving construction leaders a complete picture of their projects and performance.

Adding even more confidence to the partnership, Lumber recently achieved “Built for NetSuite” status and joined the SuiteCloud Developer Network. Their certified SuiteApp is now live on SuiteApp.com, making it easier than ever for construction firms to adopt.

At Appficiency, we are experts in guiding technology decisionssions for construction companies. We don’t just implement NetSuite, we enhance it with our own job costing–specific tools that are Built for NetSuite (BFN) certified. This means construction companies can trust that their project accounting, cost tracking, and financial controls are not only accurate but also optimized for the unique complexities of the industry. When paired with Lumber’s workforce management capabilities, our clients benefit from a tech stack that seamlessly unites ERP, job costing, and field operations.

We’ll be showcasing how Appficiency and Lumber are partnering in our upcoming webinar “How NetSuite ERP + Lumber Help Construction Teams Scale Without Breaking“.
