PROJECT FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT
As work begins against the contract, most shipbuilders rely
on stand alone project portfolio management tools or even
Microsoft Excel. There are plenty of reasons this will create
risk, add cost and hinder you on your journey towards digital
shipyard status.

towards a goal of autonomous surface ships, which are expected

to host autonomous ships by 2025.
CONCLUSION
Shipbuilders require ERP software designed for their unique
and demanding needs. Without the right ERP software, you
will be unable to confidently manage customer projects towards
a successful, profitable outcome. You will struggle to meet
customer requirements for billing and project control. And
you will be ill-equipped to meet the demands placed upon
you by advancing technology and economic trends.
