At a Glance DANAOS ProjectVIEW ERP elevates construction management by providing a single fully integrated, end-to-end solution. Unlike standalone construction apps, ProjectVIEW ERP unifies project financials, procurement, cost control, document control, and resource planning within a single, cohesive platform. It seamlessly integrates with common scheduling software such as Oracle P6 and remains BIM-agnostic, ensuring interoperability with any CAD-based system commonly used by designers, consultants, and owners. With native connectors to various BIM systems, Oracle P6, and MS Project, DANAOS ProjectVIEW ERP effectively orchestrates construction business operations. ProjectVIEW vs Construction Mgt Apps General Comparison Intranet Users Licensing Universal, Concurrent Application Role-based and Employee counts Universal cross-functional users in ProjectVIEW ERP provide seamless access across all modules based on their roles within each Project and Company within the same Company Group. This flexibility allows users to have varying access rights across Companies and Projects. The model enhances security, versatility, and collaboration, ensuring user universality while maintaining control. Implementation 4-6 months, streamlined Longer, complex process Out-of-the-box functionalities and implementation by subject-matter experts encourage user engagement and ensure a fast-track implementation, avoiding the delays and complexities associated with extensive customizations and third-party dependencies. Extranet Users Licensing Unlimited Extranet Users Pay-per-user or Hosted Users Unlimited extranet users eliminate per-user licensing costs, enabling seamless collaboration and data capture from Suppliers, Subcontractors, and blue-collar Labor. This flexibility enhances agility, allowing Contractors to scale external interactions without worrying about additional fees or transactional overhead. Lifetime Warranty Yes Multiple support levels A lifetime warranty with source code escrow ensures long-term security, business continuity, and protection against vendor risks. This guarantees ongoing access and usability, even in unforeseen circumstances. Support & Maintenance DANAOS’ subject-matter experts Mostly Partners Network Expert-led support ensures seamless integration, quick and accurate resolution, and operational efficiency. Eliminating reliance on third-party consultants reduces costs and enhances accountability while providing unparalleled industry insights. Customizations Industry Readiness Minimal Flexibility, Black-box Systems Client recommendations that require customizations to improve ProjectVIEW ERP are always welcome at no extra cost. A development approach driven by client input and industry best practices ensures continuous evolution, adaptability, and alignment with real-world business needs. Operational Features Critical Points ProjectVIEW ERP Construction Management Apps Key Reasons This Matters 01 Capability to forecast and adapt to market changes Facilitates bidding accuracy through what-if/what-is bidding scenarios while allowing pricing forecasts for future cost and risk management No capacity to scrutinize bidding scenarios or forecast materials pricing and Cost to Complete due to the lack of an integrated procurement system that is associated on the BoQ level General reporting and business analytics dashboards can’t facilitate what-if/what-will bidding scenarios, a feature unique to ProjectVIEW ERP. It enables contractors to simulate budget options, boost bid wins, and maintain data integrity in cost recipes and resource analysis. 02 Complete Suite of Modules and Site Applications Full suite of ERP modules and Construction Site Applications that operate online and offline Lack of an integrated approach under a single source of truth. Lack of a Common Data Environment (CDE) that encapsulates and homogenizes construction data. Integrations are mandatory A comprehensive suite of ERP modules connect Site2Office and Office2Site placing budget and cost recipes on trial ensuring real-time actual vs. cost comparisons, interdepartmental collaboration, improved operational efficiency and productivity both on-site and in the office 03 Trilateral Connectivity Trilateral Connectivity Between BoQ-WBS, Cost Codes to all Department Commercials and Financial departments A BoQ-based concept that offers à la carte integration with WBS and BIM systems, without any further association with cost recipes or cost codes. This decoupled operational approach prevents AI data readiness Seamless connectivity between BoQ, WBS, and Cost Codes ensures real-time alignment across operational, commercial, and financial departments, enabling precise cost tracking and budget control. This integration eliminates discrepancies, enhances decision-making, and improves project profitability by providing a single source of truth for all stakeholders 04 Integration with BIM and Scheduling Applications Fully Integrated with any BIM System. Native Connectors for Oracle P6 and MS Project Internal Scheduling or BIM apps conflict with de facto mainstream Scheduling and BIM software, which are absolutely necessary for seamless collaboration between contractors, designers, consultants, and owners. Enables seamless collaboration and real-time data exchange without complex customizations. Native connectors for Oracle P6 and MS Project ensure effortless synchronization of schedules, resources, and costs, eliminating manual data transfers and reducing integration overhead. 05 Resource & Equipment Management Optimized for Construction — Tracks heavy equipment usage, maintenance, and workforce allocation. General resource management tools, may include limited modules for equipment tracking. Optimizing machinery utilization minimizes idle time and extends equipment lifespan, reducing maintenance and operational costs. Efficient tracking ensures that resources are allocated effectively, improving productivity and project profitability. 06 Document & Drawing Management Seamless — Centralized storage for blueprints, drawings, RFIs, and approvals with easy access. Available but may require third-party integrations for full construction document management. Centralized storage ensures that blueprints, drawings, RFIs, and approvals are easily accessible, reducing delays and miscommunication. This seamless access improves collaboration, enhances efficiency, and keeps projects on track. 07 Job Costing & Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Construction-Specific – Detailed job costing based on BoQs tailored for construction projects. Standard BoQ functionality, that lacks integration with finacial and costing cost codes. Incomplete Cost Recipes, Labor Productivity, Machinery Utilization and Materials Management processes. Accurate job costing based on BoQs ensures precise budget allocation, minimizing cost overruns and financial risks in construction projects. This level of detail improves project profitability, enhances cost control, and supports better decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. 09 Contract & Compliance Management Integrated – Manages contracts, subcontracts, change orders, and ensures compliance with construction regulations. Inconsistent integration between BoQ, WBS, and Cost Codes leads to ambiguous risk management and Earned Value (EV) KPIs Managing contracts, subcontracts, and change orders in a single integrated system ensures transparency, efficiency, and cost control throughout the project lifecycle. This seamless approach also helps maintain compliance with construction regulations, reducing legal risks and avoiding costly project delays.
