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.

Manufacturing Project Management Software FAQs
How do I pre-empt workflow jams in engineer- to-order?
How do I do geographic mapping and logistics optimization in manufacturing?
Cora’s Geographic Information System (GIS) Mapping functionality connects project attributes to their physical locations. Showing you, for instance, where projects are being executed and detailing what sort of infrastructure exists there currently. Visualize project locations and optimize field resource allocation. Prevent inefficiencies by identifying overlapping site visits and scheduling work accordingly. Mapping capabilities enhance operational planning, reduce travel costs, and improve responsiveness to customer needs in complex manufacturing environments.
Can Cora’s manufacturing project management software provide early warnings for budget overruns and cash flow issues?
How does the software streamline change request management and reduce revenue leakage?
Cora simplifies change request tracking, reducing administrative bottlenecks and ensuring all billable work is properly recorded, so organizations don’t lose revenue due to unapproved or undocumented changes. See how our customer Honeywell identified $250M in undetected change orders with Cora.
