Bio

ALEC has consistently evolved and grown over the last 25 years to become a trusted partner for the execution of complex and iconic construction projects. Quality, safety, functionality, and aesthetics are of the utmost importance to the company when building and providing construction solutions for clients.
How CMiC Helped
ALEC and CMiC jointly delivered several GCC-first advancements, recognizing that general ERPs cannot meet the unique demands of the region. This included co-developing:
GCC-Localised Payroll
Embedding subcontractor compliance and advance payment controls into workflows
Addressing new requirements such as e-invoicing
Managing Subcontractor Contra Charges
The result is a unified platform built for the realities of GCC contracting: subcontractor-heavy delivery, project cost control, strict labour compliance, and high-volume, invoice-intensive Accounts Payable cycles.
