The Challenge
The one number this business lacks is the real cost of fitting out a square metre. Operating profit fell materially in a year while revenue rose, and nobody inside could name the vessels that caused it.
How It Works
- Ingests project cost records, filed accounts, crew timesheets and scope in square metres.
- Derives cost per square metre by vessel, country, crew type and scope, and attributes margin.
- Forecasts each vessel's outturn four times per build and consolidates every currency in one.
What It Removes
- Job profitability known only after handover
- Six operating currencies reported six separate ways
- Margin movement explained by opinion, not by driver
Input Data RequirementsProject cost records from ERP, filed accounts per company, timesheets by vessel and task, factory cost base, square-metre scope, FX and payment dates
Output FormatCost per square metre by vessel, country, crew type and scope, outturn forecast four times per build, margin bridge, consolidated FX view
“We find out what a vessel earned while we can still do something about it, and we can name what moved the margin.”
