Project-based manufacturers—shipyards, offshore fabricators, steel constructors, and specialized EPC contractors—face a unique paradox. Each project is custom-engineered, yet companies must deliver with the efficiency, precision, and cost control of mass production. However, traditional ERP systems, designed for repetitive manufacturing, fail to address these realities.
This is where ProjectVIEW ERP, developed by DANAOS Projects, sets a new standard.
The Challenges of Project-Based Manufacturing
- Fragmented Data and Workflows – Multiple departments (design, procurement, fabrication, assembly, installation) often work in silos. As a result, misalignment grows between engineering, production, and finance.
- Complex BOMs and BoQs – Teams must continuously update Bills of Materials and Bills of Quantities as projects evolve. Consequently, it is difficult to maintain accurate budgets and schedules.
- Resource Allocation – Companies must manage machinery, labor, and subcontractors dynamically to avoid downtime, idle assets, or bottlenecks.
- Cost Overruns and Delays – Without real-time monitoring of progress vs. budget, teams detect deviations too late.
- Client & Subcontractor Alignment – Teams often track certifications, RFIs, and change orders poorly. Consequently, disputes, delayed payments, and cash-flow issues follow.
How ProjectVIEW ERP Solves Them
🔹 BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Code Integration
At the heart of ProjectVIEW lies its unique business logic: a trilateral association between Bill of Quantities, Work Breakdown Structure, and Cost Codes. As a result, time, cost, and resources always stay connected. Teams can therefore detect and correct deviations early.
🔹 Fabrication & Production Control
ProjectVIEW goes beyond standard ERP by embedding fabrication and assembly management. Whether it’s a steel structure, ship section, or offshore module, the system tracks production stages. It also aligns them with procurement and ensures on-time delivery.
🔹 Integrated Procurement & Supply Chain
From requisitions to blanket agreements and e-RFQs, the system digitizes procurement, aligning material requests with project deadlines. Meanwhile, vendors and subcontractors collaborate via dedicated portals, which ensures transparency and cost efficiency.
🔹 Subcontractor & Client Collaboration
With dedicated subcontractor and client portals, ProjectVIEW digitalizes certifications, RFIs, and approvals. As a result, it accelerates payment cycles and reduces disputes by aligning financial transactions with actual site progress.
🔹 Machinery & Asset Utilization
The system tracks fleet and heavy equipment in real time through telematics and preventive maintenance workflows. In turn, this maximizes uptime and reduces operational costs.
🔹 Seamless BIM & Oracle P6 Integration
ProjectVIEW connects natively with BIM models and Primavera schedules. Together, they deliver a 5D view of project performance—time, cost, and resources visualized against the digital twin.
The Competitive Advantage
In short, by consolidating engineering, production, procurement, and finance into a single source of truth, ProjectVIEW empowers manufacturers to:
✅ Win more bids with realistic, data-driven budgets.
✅ Maintain profitability through proactive cost control.
✅ Enhance collaboration between office and yard/site.
✅ Deliver projects faster, with fewer disputes and claims.
After all, in a world where one delay or miscalculation can derail profitability, ProjectVIEW ERP is not just an ERP—it is the central command center of project-based manufacturing.
