Genius Project Management

With real-time data and dashboards, our project management software allows you to plan and track the progress of every project in your shop to stay informed about job status at all times.

Point 1

Milestone management

Oversee all activities that need to be completed to deliver a job on time. Add milestones related to materials, customer approvals and deliverables, as well as easily set priorities for each department in your organization based on your actual constraints, capacities and the jobs you have on the go. Real-time visibility lets you track and manage key indicators, ensuring that projects are completed on time. Be alerted when a project misses a milestone to quickly get it back on track.

Budget and labor management

From estimation to job completion, track budgets and progress based on initial, revised and current budgets and group task progress by cost category for high-level budget monitoring. Using the multi-project screen to update all budget information makes tracking and monitoring costs easy and efficient. The labor dashboard lets you plan and monitor employee hours in order to know the employee load for each cost category and better plan your labor scheduling.

Frequently asked questions

Is Excel an ERP?

No, Excel is a robust business tool, but it is not an ERP system. There are several drawbacks with Excel, including data security and accuracy, limited connectivity, potential human errors, and inefficiency, which make it unsuitable to serve as an ERP system within a manufacturing environment.

A fully integrated solution like an ERP provides manufacturers with better data control and enhances critical business processes and decision-making, leading to smoother and more efficient operations.

What is a "magic spreadsheet"?

A “magic spreadsheet” refers to a master spreadsheet, typically managed by a single individual, which manufacturers often rely on to manage their business operations. Despite its nickname, it is not magical and is an inadequate method for organizing and overseeing a custom manufacturing shop. Avoid using such spreadsheets, and opt fo an ERP system to ensure optimal organization and efficiency.

How can I manage projects better with an ERP?

Implementing an ERP system can significantly improve your overall operational efficiency by streamlining processes and ensuring projects are completed on time.

An ERP system effectively manages all facets of your manufacturing operations, including inventory, scheduling and so much more, giving you the ability to oversee your entire shop and allows for better planning and execution of projects. Real-time data lets you monitor and manage every project you are working on, and deliver jobs on time and within budget. Overall, an ERP system empowers you to optimize resources, streamline workflows, and achieve greater success in project management.
