The Problem: Capital Project Teams Are Drowning in Spreadsheets
If you work in capital projects, you know the struggle: pulling reports, exporting data to Excel, making manual updates, and then re-importing everything back into your system—only to find out something changed in the meantime.
Project teams spend countless hours stitching together cost, contracts, changes, and other project data just to get a clear picture of where things stand. However, by the time reports are reconciled, the data is already outdated.
The challenge doesn’t stop there. Many teams face data silos—information spread across multiple projects, disciplines, and disconnected systems, making it difficult to get a holistic view of project health.
This leads to:
- Missed cost overruns and budget variances that aren’t spotted until it’s too late.
- Inefficient workflows that slow down decision-making and approvals.
- Duplicate efforts as teams manually collect and reconcile data across multiple tools.
What if there was a faster, smarter way to access and analyze your project data—without spreadsheets, manual exports, or disconnected reports?
