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.

Embedded resource planning

Handle project planning, scheduling, and associated operational activities quickly and efficiently using embedded tools in our Project Control Suite. Manage project interdependencies to ensure efficient management of processes, project initiation, revenue recognition, billing, and collections.

Project progress billing

Manage invoicing for long-duration, costly projects with progress billing based on the completion of predefined project milestones or stages. Reduce risks with direct insights into live, up-to-date totals, retentions, and amounts to bill for each level of the work breakdown structure (WBS).

Budget and cost management

Manage budgets with cost breakdown structures (CBS) and track expenditures and project progress with multi-level work breakdown structures (WBS). Register and manage timesheets, materials, equipment, and fees in the Dynamics 365 Project Management Software.

Benefits

Control costs

Track and monitor project costs and budget performance with the Dynamics 365 Project Management Software to control expenses, minimize cost overruns, and avoid stockouts.

Enhance project visibility

Remove data silos with a unified and comprehensive view of all projects, sub-projects, resources, inventory, and costs, enabling better workflows and decision-making.

Forecast budgets

Accurately anticipate project budgets, avoid overruns, and manage scope changes by monitoring project costs within the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Management Software.

Maximize planning efficiency

Gain real-time insights into project planning, resource capacity, and resource allocation to understand the current status, prioritize tasks, and meet project deadlines.

Win more projects

Increase your quote conversion rate by ensuring appropriate margins with project-specific pricing and estimating functionality in the Dynamics 365 Project Management Software.
