Project Management

Project-based companies like construction and heavy equipment manufacturing must deal with many parts, multiple departments, and interdependencies, increasing complexities. Without a proper project management solution, you, as a manufacturer, can quickly lose track of budgets and timelines, causing delays. 

Our Dynamics 365 Project Management Software, Project Control Suite, enables you to deliver high-quality projects on time and keep costs low to stay competitive. It enhances project management performance with improved interdepartmental collaboration and complete visibility across multiple projects. 

Key Challenges

Incomplete project view
Complex projects demand meticulous planning and organization. Without a project management solution, critical information such as processes, teams, roles, budgets, and timelines become scattered, causing delays and process gaps.
Inability to manage costs
Balancing production costs and quality is tough due to fluctuations in raw material and labor expenses, which can affect profit margins. You may struggle to bill accurately at certain project stages, impacting the bottom line.
Inefficient resource management
Poor resource planning causes shortages, overuse, or underuse, hindering project progress. Without visibility into resource availability, project managers may struggle to balance project needs, resulting in missed deadlines.
