Unanet and Xpedeon have announced the expansion of their partnership into North America, bringing together CRM and ERP capabilities into a unified platform designed for construction firms. The move reflects a growing industry push to address one of the sector’s most persistent challenges: the disconnect between business development and project execution.
Originally established in the U.K., the partnership now extends to North American markets, combining Unanet’s purpose-built CRM for construction with Xpedeon’s ERP platform covering finance, operations, and supply chain processes.
Closing the Gap Between Sales and Delivery
For many construction firms, fragmentation between front-office and operational systems remains a significant barrier to efficiency. Disconnected tools can lead to misalignment between pipeline visibility, project execution, and financial performance — ultimately slowing growth and limiting decision-making.
The combined solution aims to address this gap by creating a more connected environment where organizations can move seamlessly from opportunity management to project delivery and invoicing.
“Partnerships with purpose-built solutions like Xpedeon are one of many ways we’re delivering for our construction customers,” said Akshay Mahajan, Executive Vice President of AEC at Unanet.
By aligning CRM, operations, and finance within a single ecosystem, the companies are positioning the platform to support more consistent, data-driven workflows across the full project lifecycle.
Integration as a Strategic Priority
The announcement highlights a broader shift in the construction technology landscape: integration is no longer optional. As project-based organizations face increasing pressure to deliver on time and within budget, the ability to connect data across teams is becoming a competitive requirement.
With the expanded partnership, construction firms gain:
- real-time visibility across pipeline, projects, and financial performance
- improved alignment between business development and execution teams
- a unified data model supporting more accurate decision-making
According to the companies, this approach enables organizations to move beyond siloed systems and toward a more coordinated operational model.
From Fragmented Systems to Unified Ecosystems
The collaboration also reflects a wider ERP trend — the move toward end-to-end platforms that connect customer acquisition, project execution, and financial management.
“Construction companies don’t struggle to grow because they can’t win work or deliver projects — they struggle because of poor visibility and misalignment between teams,” said Janak Vakharia, Group CEO of Algorithms Software.
By addressing these structural gaps, the partnership aims to help construction firms operate with greater clarity, from initial opportunity through to final delivery.
Industry Implications: ERP Expands Beyond the Back Office
As ERP continues to evolve, its role is expanding beyond traditional back-office functions into the broader operational lifecycle. For project-based industries like construction, this shift is particularly significant, as success depends on tight coordination between sales, delivery, and financial performance.
The Unanet–Xpedeon partnership underscores how vendors are responding — not by adding isolated features, but by building more integrated ecosystems that support the full flow of work.
In an environment where visibility, speed, and alignment are critical, the ability to unify CRM and ERP may increasingly define how construction firms scale and compete.
