Plant Engineering
Mechanical and plant engineering is a key industry – and at the same time one of the most challenging. Long project durations, high capital commitment, and complex interfaces between sales, engineering, procurement, and finance put pressure on margins and transparency.
To remain competitive, companies must have a precise understanding of their cost structures, ensure project profitability, and digitally optimize their processes.
Typical challenges
Long project durations
Imprecise cash flow planning, tied-up liquidity
Complex project-based manufacturing

Heterogeneous systems
Data silos, time-consuming manual reconciliations
Dependency on key individuals
Knowledge risks, limited scalability
Typical project outcomes
Real-time project controlling
Live visibility into project progress, costs, and margins
Improved cash flow planning
Accurate forecasts even with long project durations
Automated post-calculations
Fast and precise margin control after project completion
