  1. Unmet Solicitation Requirements: Unstructured tools lack consistency and structure leading to Organizations missing requirements for large government bids.
  2. Manual Data and Errors: Traditional tools rely on manual entry, increasing time and risk of costly mistakes.
  3. Lack of Real-Time Collaboration: No real-time updates lead to delays and outdated estimates.
  4. Rigid and Complex: ERP tools lack the flexibility for complex, variable projects like Engineer to Order (ETO) and Marine Repair and Overhaul.
  5. Poor Data Aggregation: No automatic data consolidation, slowing down estimate creation by requiring manual gathering from different departments, delaying and reducing accuracy.
  6. Lack of Built-in Knowledge Retention: Don’t capture expert insights, leading to knowledge loss over time.
