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 Work Together in One System

Accurately estimate manufacturing project costs and margins by linking financial codes to labor, materials, and subcontractor costs. The system establishes profitability targets early, giving transparency across disciplines and preventing margin erosion.

Capture lessons learned to refine future estimates and optimize processes. Task management features let teams track work against these estimates throughout the manufacturing project lifecycle.

Forecasting & Estimate to Completion Give Project Managers Real-time Data

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.

The system provides project managers with an intuitive interface to continuously measure cost performance against forecasts. This workflow improves decision-making and financial predictability across manufacturing projects.

Cashflow Management and Working Capital Tools Improve the Way Projects get Funded

Align payments with project milestones to maintain positive cash flow. Prevent project materials from sitting unpaid at client sites through Supply Chain Sync with Schedule and avoid subcontractor invoicing mismatches.

Integrate with ERP systems to structure billing that reflects work completed. This work management approach optimizes working capital across manufacturing environments.

Change Control Management Streamlines the Way Modifications get Approved

Streamline change request approvals in engineer-to-order project management with full audit trails. The system reduces unauthorized scope creep by enforcing a controlled process for all modifications.

Improve traceability across manufacturing projects so engineers can efficiently document, approve, and bill for all changes. Workflow automation handles routing and notifications automatically.

Payment Schedules and Invoicing Work with Existing Finance Systems

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 Create a Single System of Record

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.

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.
