GeCo: the ERP for construction companies and general contractors in Switzerland.
GeCo is the EsseLab vertical solution for construction companies and general contractors. Built on Odoo, it manages the entire lifecycle of the construction site.
From estimation to progress billing, from project order to invoice: everything in a single system.
THE PROBLEM
Managing a construction site with generic tools is costly
Estimates on Excel, orders on paper, manually updated progress, subcontractors to reconcile, stage invoicing out of sync with actual progress. In construction, every data misalignment translates into delays, disputes or lost margin.
GeCo solves this at the root: a single system connecting office, site and accounting.
