BUSINESS CHALLENGES AND PAIN POINTS
Challenges of Project-Based Industry

Ensuring the profitability of every project 💰

 

In a project-driven industrial environment where technical phases follow one another, strict budget control is essential.

The challenge: delivering each project with a profit margin consistent with the forecast established at the quotation stage.

To achieve this, you need real-time visibility into the gaps between forecasts and actuals, to detect deviations, anticipate financial risks by type of expense (engineering, materials, components, subcontracting, production, labor), and make quick, informed decisions.

Managing the complexity of technical data ⚙️

Every project is unique and constantly evolving — client specifications, technical bills of materials, plan versions, quality requirements… Data becomes a critical asset: complex, extensive, and dynamic.

You must structure, track, and synchronize this information throughout the project lifecycle to improve responsiveness, reliability, and consistency — whatever the technical requirements or industry: engineering, food processing, aerospace, nuclear, and beyond.

Controlling project phasing and deadlines 🗓️

Each project requires a tailored organization. You must optimize coordination between human and machine resources, as well as subcontractors, to meet objectives and deadlines.

This environment naturally brings uncertainty, variability, and a strong need for assessment, anticipation, and control to achieve your industrial and financial goals.
Sequencing project phases while maintaining full control over data flows, operations, and timelines is essential for efficiency.

Organizing your billing plan 📄

In project-based work, invoicing does not follow a standard pattern — it depends on contractual milestones, technical progress, or client validations.
For long-cycle projects, you must align billing with actual project progress.

Conduct progress reviews, issue invoices, automate reminders, avoid omissions, and strengthen client relationships to secure your cash flow.

Supporting and retaining clients 🤝

The client relationship doesn’t end at delivery.
Machines are tested in workshops, shipped, commissioned on-site, followed by staff training, maintenance, recurring service visits, and after-sales support — the activity extends far beyond production.

For all these stages, you need to manage your installed base, schedule field technicians, handle spare parts, and monitor interventions on-site or remotely — turning every project into an opportunity to build loyalty.

Project-Based Management: The key features of our ERP Software

Simplify the costing of complex products

Designing a special-purpose machine or any high-value-added project requires accurate, well-structured quotations.
Our ERP solution simplifies pricing by generating detailed quotes that take into account all technical parameters of your projects — from engineering and materials to components, production, testing, installation, and on-site commissioning. This structure ensures smooth financial tracking throughout the project lifecycle.

Thanks to a modular and configurable approach, you can simulate different scenarios, refine your costs, and formalize your offers quickly. You secure your margins from the pre-sales stage and improve commercial efficiency.

 

Structure your technical data seamlessly

Our ERP is designed to meet the requirements of complex industrial environments. It offers advanced technical data management capabilities, including:

  • Operation routing management
  • Multi-level, evolutive bills of materials
  • Indexed items
  • Interface with PLM and EDM tools from our technology partner Visiativ, ensuring a unified, traceable, and always up-to-date data repository
  • Data import from your preferred CAD, PLM, or PDM software solutions

This guarantees digital continuity between design, production, and customer service.

Plan and visualize project steps for controlled execution

Our ERP allows you to build a customized project structure in WBS mode (Work Breakdown Structure), fully adaptable to your project types. You can create a hierarchical structure with parent and child projects to break down your work into subprojects.

With visual management tools such as Gantt charts, you can define logical activity sequences, set milestones with target dates, and link tasks to reflect real operational dependencies.

Automatic alerts notify you in case of delays or overruns, while clear “remaining work” dashboards help you adjust resources and decisions at the right time.

Projects are fully configurable to suit your methods and business specifics. You can even simulate different organizational scenarios to anticipate constraints, compare options, and optimize execution.

Analyze project budgets and stay profitable

Every project must be closely monitored to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Our ERP gives you a clear, real-time view of your financial data — instantly comparing sold, planned, actual, and committed amounts.

Track key performance indicators, anticipate cost deviations, and stay on target. With accurate, up-to-date, and easy-to-read information, you can manage your projects with confidence.

 

Flexible invoicing management aligned with your contracts

Our ERP systems include integrated accounting. For project-based management, they support multiple billing methods depending on your contractual terms.

Whether it’s milestone-based, progress-based, or period-based invoicing, every scenario is handled smoothly and transparently. You automate due dates, secure cash flow, and maintain reliable financial tracking for each project.

Optimize Project-Based Procurement

Production management requires precise coordination between departments.
Our ERP integrates both MRP (Material Requirements Planning) and Project-Based Requirements Calculation (PBR) functionalities.

This means you can anticipate standard component needs with MRP, while triggering specific or custom subcontracting purchases through PBR according to each project’s requirements.

The goal: ensure the right materials are available at the right time — even for long lead-time items — to meet schedules and avoid shortages.

 

Organize your factory for Project-Based production

On the logistics side, every supplier receipt can be automatically linked to a project, with a dedicated identification label — making storage, movement, and preparation easier.
Your teams save time, gain clarity, and reduce the risk of errors.

Launch work orders using industry-specific scheduling tools to maximize resource efficiency during production and assembly phases.

You also benefit from full traceability — lot numbers, serial numbers, and raw material documentation are all tracked rigorously to ensure compliance and responsiveness.

Quality control ranges can easily be managed during supplier or subcontractor receipts, or at the end of a work order. In case of non-conformity, corrective action plans can be issued immediately.
No more installation delays caused by missing critical parts when shipping machines to clients.

Manage maintenance and After-Sales contracts efficiently

After installation, client follow-up continues.
Your project-based ERP organizes all maintenance and after-sales operations: manage contracts, schedule and track interventions, handle billing terms, and manage spare parts replenishment.

With mobile tools, your field technicians have access to everything they need — installed equipment, intervention history, parts to replace, and service reports to complete.

Increase team productivity and enhance service quality with structured, responsive follow-up for every project.
