Looking for some guidance on accounting, ERP, and other systems for commercial roofing

I just purchased a commercial roofing company, and we are currently using an ERP system called Timesuite that also has an accounting piece called Toolbox. It's functional, but for growth, we really need something more robust. We are narrowed to Sage and Foundation, and we've talked to several who use both. What I am trying to determine is more of the optimal full tech stack for a commercial roofing company: Accounting, ERP, CRM, other systems that work to create a well rounded system upon which to build. If any of you would be willing to share your tech stack and why you like it, or why you don't, I would appreciate it.

Hi @redacted‌ At Centurica, we provide outsourced bookkeeping support, including AR/AP management and fractional CFO services tailored to each company’s needs. Our team comes from Big 4 backgrounds, so we tend to focus heavily on building scalable reporting and operational visibility early on. On the accounting side, we typically recommend Xero. Since it was built as a cloud-native platform from the ground up, we generally find the user experience cleaner and more efficient than many legacy systems. That said, we’re fully comfortable working across other platforms, including QuickBooks. Feel free to reach out at redacted or redacted

Thanks for the tag,^redacted‌. ^redacted‌ I went through this two years ago when I took over a commercial masonry company. Happy to share my lessons learned and what we did. You won't be able to consolidate to one system but you can make a lot of progress. Happy to share.
