Manufacturing Project Management Software

Cora’s manufacturing project management software has been designed to address specific pain points around value stream management, supply chain disruption and resource management.

Project Management Software for Manufacturing

Cora provides a comprehensive solution for manufacturing project management in complex and industrial environments, ensuring seamless project execution, financial oversight, and strategic decision-making for engineer-to-order and large-scale production environments.

Estimates and Optimizing Margins

Accurately estimate project costs and margins through manufacturing schedules by linking financial codes to labor, materials, and subcontractor costs. Establish profitability targets early, ensuring transparency across disciplines and preventing margin erosion. Capture lessons learned to refine future estimates and optimize quality and processes.

Forecasting & Estimate to Completion

Gain real-time visibility into project financials from initial estimates to final completion. Track material, labor, and subcontractor costs with early warning indicators for budget overruns. Provide project managers with an intuitive interface to continuously measure cost performance against forecasts, improving decision-making and financial predictability.

Cashflow Management and Working Capital

Ensure positive cash flow by aligning payments with project milestones. Prevent project materials from sitting unpaid at client sites through Supply Chain Sync with Schedule and avoid subcontractor invoicing mismatches. Integrate with ERPs to structure billing to reflect work completed and optimize working capital within manufacturing project management.

Change Control Management

Streamline change request approvals in engineer-to-order project management and ensure all modifications are properly logged. Reduce the risk of unauthorized scope creep by enforcing a controlled, fully audited process for change tracking. Improve traceability and ensure that engineers can efficiently document, approve, and bill for all changes.

Payment Schedules and Invoicing

Enhance cash flow management by providing finance teams with full visibility into invoicing schedules and project progress. Ensure all stakeholders understand when invoices can be sent, align with purchase orders, and eliminate delays caused by misaligned financial workflows, reducing the administrative burden on project teams.

Project Documentation and Transmittals

Ensure version control and full traceability for project documentation through transmittals and submittals. Centralized storage eliminates lost files, and automated workflows provide a clear audit trail. Engineers can markup drawings digitally, ensuring accurate communication of changes and compliance with contract and regulatory requirements.

Timesheets and Subcontractors

Easily track labor hours, subcontractor contributions, and work completion rates. Ensure that timesheets and work logs are updated in real time, allowing for accurate cost tracking and timely invoicing. This visibility prevents billing disputes and supports financial governance across complex manufacturing project management processes. Subcontractor portals allow for managed two-way collaboration. 

Streamline Workflow with Mobile

The Cora Mobile App for Android and iOS enables teams to access, upload, and mark up documents and photos anytime. Easily annotate punch lists and checklists on the factory floor or on the move. Improve invoicing accuracy and gain early warnings of potential issues. 

Bill of Materials (BOM)

The Bill of Materials (BoM) functionality provides a centralized source for managing parts, assemblies, and materials required for production. Track costs, ensure accurate material planning, and support seamless coordination of engineer-to-order project management processes, optimizing efficiency and cost control across manufacturing operations.
