According to research by the\u00a0Project Management Institute<\/strong>,\u00a028% of projects fail because they are based on inaccurate cost estimates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Partial analysis of stakeholder requirements and lack of visibility on costs, human resources and skills availability are among the main causes of this trend.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0engineering companies<\/strong>, a further challenge is the\u00a0complexity of projects<\/strong>. This complexity stems from the need for preliminary analyses and feasibility studies which are not immediately attributable to an actual project, yet demand hours of time and call extensively on resources.<\/p>\n

This is why\u00a0preventive cost analysis<\/strong>\u00a0is essential in this context.<\/p>\n

Such analysis enables\u00a0accurate appraisal of the costs<\/strong>\u00a0associated with the stages prior to the execution of the project and, through the correct allocation of time, resources and materials used in pre-sales, it also guarantees a\u00a0precise definition of the\u00a0mark-up<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How?<\/strong>\u00a0A combination of\u00a0historical data<\/strong>\u00a0from implemented projects and\u00a0current requirements<\/strong>\u00a0is used to minimise any loss of profits, and to allow\u00a0simulated forecasting scenarios<\/strong>\u00a0that account for resources, time worked, hourly rates and overall profitability.<\/p>\n

Akeron Project Business Automation<\/strong>\u00a0has\u00a0built-in features that allow you to historicize and analyse the progress of each project<\/strong>\u00a0by specific size (sector, work team, time, technical resources and materials used). The advantages contribute to the realization of a\u00a0credible feasibility study<\/strong>\u00a0that allows:<\/p>\n
