We went through a similar review last year while restructuring our project management workflow. Initially, the idea was to improve reporting and keep the existing tools, but once we compared the way costs were tracked by procurement, finance and site teams, the gaps became too obvious to ignore. Numbers were accurate individually, yet inconsistent across departments, and that created delays in decision-making. During the evaluation phase, a technical overview helped illustrate how real-time tracking works when modules operate as a single environment rather than separate systems. firstbit appeared among examples where cost, materials, scheduling and approvals stay connected. After analysing several models side by side, it became clear that real-time tracking and full integration aren’t optional features but essential parts of keeping projects under control.
