Project-Based Manufacturing
Be More Profitable
In a project environment, there are often specific areas your business application systems (especially your ERP) need to handle. You need to estimate the project well up-front, even if the items don’t exist in the ERP. You need to be able to calculate and track actual costs, statistics and variances in multiple views while maintaining detailed cost element data to enhance profitability. From tracking earned value in support of revenue recognition to detailed tracking of costs by project and tasks to complex work breakdown structures – we have you covered.
Project-based systems need to be able to handle more than just scheduling and engineering planning. Microsoft Dynamics gives users the ability to see earned value tracking, on a project element by project element basis. Few current business systems handle all the details a project-based manufacturer needs…until now. By combining Microsoft Dynamics 365 with MCA Connect’s decades of complex project-based manufacturing expertise, we enable project-based manufacturers to compete for any project, with the confidence to ensure project profitability, delivery and post-project support services.
