Defining construction ERP

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a kind of software that brings your various processes together into one accessible platform.

MHR’s People First goes beyond a traditional ERP. It enables you to select the modules you want to support the functions that need it most in your business. Instead of saddling with a one size fits all solution, you’ll get a complete solution that works around you.
