About Enncon Synergies
Enncon Synergies India Private Limited is a fast-growing MEP contracting company headquartered in Mumbai (Thane) and executing projects across India. The team handles MEP fit-outs across multiple verticals including hotels, commercial buildings, hospitals, and industrial sites.
With around 150 staff and 35–40 running projects at any given time, the company operates in a high-volume, fast-moving environment where small delays in approvals, materials, or billing can quickly impact timelines and profitability.
The leadership team has been focused on healthy growth, with consistent two-digit growth in both topline and bottom line, and wanted systems that could scale with that growth.
Before ProjectBase: When Scaling Creates Complexity
When Enncon started scaling, three operational challenges became clear early:
Resource planning
Project management control
Project schedules
And importantly, they felt this need very early in the business journey.
Within the first six months of starting the company, the team realised they needed one system where:
All records are in one place
Data can be tracked easily
Reviews can be done conveniently
This is a common tipping point for growing contractors. Once project count crosses a threshold, Excel and scattered tools don’t fail loudly, they fail slowly. Approvals get delayed, updates become inconsistent, and leaders start spending more time “asking for status” than “taking decisions”.
The Turning Point: Choosing an ERP Built for Contractors
Before choosing ProjectBase, Enncon explored other approaches:
Attempt 1: Customising Tally
They tried to customise Tally first, but it had limitations for their operational needs.
Attempt 2: Considering SAP (Enterprise Version)
They also considered an enterprise-grade system, but it felt too time-consuming to implement for their stage and speed.
Why ProjectBase Stood Out
ProjectBase came through a referral, and Enncon found it workable for their current stage, with faster implementation.
Their key requirement was not “a software”. It was “a system that fits contractor workflows and can be implemented without slowing down business”.
How ProjectBase Was Implemented at Enncon
A key reason Enncon saw results quickly is the way they implemented it.
They did not do a partial rollout. They went all-in.
From day one:
Entire operations went into the ERP
Nothing was kept outside the system
Even the smallest procurement and smallest project was included
This is the difference between “using software” and “running the business on a system”.
And this approach delivered fast visibility.
Enncon reported that within weeks:
Purchases became easy to track
Site inventory became very clear
What Changed After Implementing ProjectBase
1) Procurement and Purchase Tracking Became Predictable
When procurement becomes traceable, the whole project becomes calmer.
With ProjectBase, Enncon could track purchases without relying on:
repeated calls
separate sheets
chasing updates from multiple teams
They saw measurable operational clarity quickly because everything was captured inside one system.
2) Site Inventory Became Clear
For MEP contractors, inventory confusion is a silent profit killer. Missing items cause urgent buying, urgent buying causes rate hikes, and rate hikes hit margin.
Enncon specifically highlighted that site inventory became clear within weeks, which directly supports better planning and fewer disruptions on site.
3) Leadership Got Better Control Over Project Movement
From the leadership standpoint, the biggest difference was control through visibility.
They explained it simply:
If a project is not moving, they can check
material status
billing status
That’s a very contractor-style definition of project control. Not dashboards for the sake of dashboards, but answers when a project is stuck.
4) Transparency and Data Accuracy Improved Strongly
Enncon described the biggest shift as:
transparency
accuracy of data moving closer to 100%
They also highlighted that:
many answers are available at the click of a button
project analysis becomes easier due to information availability
In practical terms, this reduces dependency on individuals and reduces time spent in review meetings.
5) Enabled Expansion from HVAC to Full MEP
One of the most important business impacts in this story is expansion.
Enncon shared that earlier they were a pure HVAC company, and now they have expanded into:
electrical
firefighting
plumbing Becoming a complete MEP company, and using ProjectBase for all businesses.
This is exactly how ERP drives growth. It doesn’t “generate leads”. It makes operations strong enough to confidently take on new segments.
ROI, Reliability, and Confidence to Continue
ROI Satisfaction
Enncon clearly stated they are satisfied with ROI and feel it is worth what they are paying.
They also said there is scope to do more together, which is a healthy sign. It means they see ProjectBase as a long-term partner in scaling processes, not just a vendor.
Reliability and Downtime
They reported:
almost 2.8 years of usage
zero downtime experience so far
For contractors, reliability matters more than fancy features. Because when an ERP goes down, work doesn’t stop, confusion starts.
Leadership Perspective
Enncon’s leadership described the impact in grounded terms:
easier project control
clearer visibility into whether projects are being delivered on time
improved transparency and data accuracy
easier analysis because information is available
They also acknowledged they are not at “100% utilisation” yet and want to use more reports effectively, which is completely normal for a company managing 35–40 projects simultaneously.
This Case Study Is Especially Relevant For
MEP contractors handling 15+ parallel projects
HVAC contractors expanding into full MEP
Contractors who tried Tally customisation and hit limitations
Businesses considering large ERPs like SAP but worried about implementation time
Owners who want faster answers on material status and billing status when projects get stuck
Conclusion: One System, One Source of Truth, Faster Control
Enncon’s story is a strong example of what happens when a contractor adopts ERP whole-heartedly.
By moving all operations into ProjectBase without keeping “side systems” outside, they gained:
faster purchase tracking
clearer site inventory
stronger project control through transparency
support for multi-segment business expansion
For contractors scaling across multiple projects and locations, Enncon shows that the biggest operational advantage is simple.
When every team works from the same system, decisions become faster, mistakes reduce, and growth becomes easier to manage.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What problem was Enncon Synergies trying to solve before using ProjectBase?
Enncon Synergies was handling 35–40 MEP projects simultaneously, and managing purchases, site inventory, and project movement was becoming complex. They needed one system to track materials, billing, and project status without depending on multiple tools or individuals.
Why didn’t Enncon continue with Tally or choose a large ERP like SAP?
Tally could not handle project execution and operational control effectively. Large ERPs like SAP felt too heavy and time-consuming to implement for their speed of growth. ProjectBase offered a contractor-focused system that could be implemented quickly without slowing down business.
How did ProjectBase help Enncon manage so many projects at the same time?
ProjectBase gave Enncon a single system where all projects, purchases, and inventory were tracked. When a project slowed down, management could immediately check material status and billing status instead of relying on calls or manual updates.
How quickly did Enncon start seeing results after implementation?
Within a few weeks of going live, Enncon reported that procurement tracking became easier and site inventory became much clearer. This early visibility helped teams plan better and avoid last-minute disruptions.
Did ProjectBase support Enncon’s expansion from HVAC to full MEP?
Yes. Enncon initially operated as an HVAC contractor and later expanded into electrical, firefighting, and plumbing works. ProjectBase supported all these business lines within the same system, helping them scale confidently into a full MEP contractor.
How reliable has ProjectBase been for Enncon over the years?
Enncon has been using ProjectBase for nearly three years and reported zero downtime during this period. For them, reliability was critical because any system downtime would directly impact project execution.
Is ProjectBase suitable for contractors managing many parallel projects?
Yes. ProjectBase is well suited for contractors handling multiple parallel projects who need quick visibility into purchases, site inventory, and billing. Enncon’s experience shows it works effectively even with 35–40 active projects running at the same time.
