Who this is for

Built for the people who run the programme

EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) analytics only earns its keep when it answers the question the person accountable for the project is actually asking. Here is what we build for each role — and the position it puts them in.

Project Director

The problem

Project status and cost-to-complete are month-end reconstructions. You are running the programme on figures that are already weeks old — by the time a cost overrun shows up, the window to intervene has gone.

What we build

EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) project dashboards — earned value, cost-to-complete, schedule variance and committed vs actual — on a governed Microsoft Fabric model over your ERP and project systems, with Direct Lake so the numbers are current and reconcile to finance.

Typical: cost-to-complete visible during the month, not after it

Commercial / Cost Manager

The problem

Earned value and schedule variance live in separate systems. Reconciling committed cost against actual is a manual exercise that is out of date the moment it is finished.

What we build

Committed-vs-actual and earned-value tracking modelled once over ERP and project controls — so variance surfaces by work package as it moves, not at certification.

Typical: variance caught at the work package, before it reaches the P&L

Operations Director

The problem

Every project reports progress its own way. Consolidating a portfolio view means chasing spreadsheets from each site, and the number is stale before it lands.

What we build

One portfolio model with consistent status, schedule variance and cost-to-complete across every active project — refreshed from source over OneLake, so the business self-serves without chasing.

Typical: reporting requests drop 40–60%

Procurement Lead

The problem

Long-lead procurement sits in one system and the schedule in another. A slipping delivery is invisible until it hits the critical path and the programme slips with it.

What we build

Procurement linked to schedule milestones on the Microsoft Fabric model, drawing on SAP S/4HANA and Oracle Primavera P6 — so material and vendor delays flag against the critical path early, not after the fact.

Typical: delivery risk visible before it moves the programme

CFO

The problem

The CFO and the project director see different numbers. Cost-to-complete and WIP are estimated at month-end rather than derived from certified cost, so the position nobody fully trusts is the one the board sees.

What we build

A single governed cost position — earned value, committed vs actual, cost-to-complete — that finance and the project team read from the same Microsoft Fabric model, reconciled to the ledger with Direct Lake.

Typical: one cost position finance and delivery both trust

Where EPC and real estate businesses lose visibility

Whether you are delivering major EPC programmes in the GCC, managing real estate portfolios across India and Southeast Asia, or running multi-market construction operations in the UK or North America — the data challenges follow a consistent pattern. Disconnected systems, manual reconciliation, and cost positions that Finance and the project team cannot agree on.

Finance and the project team see different cost numbers

ERP says one figure, Primavera says another, the QS spreadsheet says a third. By the time Finance and the project controller agree on a cost position, the window to intervene has already closed. The problem is not the people — it is disconnected systems with no governed integration layer.

Variation orders tracked in spreadsheets, not in systems

Change requests and variation orders are where EPC margin goes to disappear. When VOsare managed in email chains and spreadsheets — disconnected from contract management and ERP — the commercial exposure is invisible until it hits the P&L.

WIP valuation and retention tracking done manually at month-end

Work-in-progress valuation and subcontractor retention are estimated at month-end rather than calculated from certified costs and milestone data. The result is a financial close cycle that takes three weeks and produces numbers nobody fully trusts.

Procurement delays invisible until they hit the critical path

Material delivery data lives in the procurement system. The project schedule lives in Primavera. Nobody connects them until a delay hits the critical path and the programme slips. Portfolio-level cash flow forecasting does not exist — treasury is working from estimates, not actuals.

What an EPC and real estate engagement delivers

Foundation before intelligence, intelligence before automation. We establish clean, connected data first - then build the analytics and automation layers on top.

DATA FOUNDATION

EPC Analytics Lakehouse — One Source of Truth

We connect SAP, Oracle Primavera, QS systems, procurement platforms, and contract management tools into a governed Microsoft Fabric lakehouse. Finance and the project team finally see the same cost figures at the same time — whether you are operating in India, the GCC, the UK, or across a global portfolio.

INTELLIGENCE

Earned Value Management (EVM) Dashboards

Budget vs. actual vs. committed spend by project, phase, and cost category — updated in real time. SPI and CPI tracking, S-curve visualisation, and at-risk cost centre alerts. Project controllers and CFOs see the same numbers — before the overrun, not after.

AUTOMATION

WIP Valuation, Retention Tracking & Financial Close Automation

WIP valuation calculated from certified costs and milestone data — not estimated at month-end. Retention release alerts triggered by milestone approvals. Month-end financial close cycle reduced from three weeks to four days, with variance commentary drafted automatically.

What a unified EPC project report actually looks like

Three report pages — project performance and earned value, procurement and productivity, and cost, margin and cash — across SPI and CPI, the planned-vs-earned S-curve, long-lead procurement, labour productivity, variation orders and cash at completion. Change the project, package, phase or period and the variance visuals, smart narrative and predictive alerts recompute. Built on Microsoft Fabric, Power BI and Azure Data Factory.

Why MyData Insights

Why EPC and real estate operators choose us for project analytics

01

EPC-first, not a generalist

We work on EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) programmes. Earned value, cost-to-complete, committed vs actual, retention and WIP are our default vocabulary — not something we learn on your project.

02

Microsoft Fabric specialists

We build the project data layer on Microsoft Fabric, OneLake and Power BI, with Direct Lake so cost and schedule numbers are current — a governed foundation, not another disconnected report bolted onto the last one.

03

Project and ERP data engineering

Extraction from SAP S/4HANA and other ERPs, Oracle Primavera P6 schedules, QS and procurement data — connected read-only into one modelled lakehouse via Azure Data Factory.

04

Finance and delivery on the same numbers

We model the cost position once, so the CFO and the project director stop arguing about whose figure is right and start acting on the same one.

05

First working output in 6 weeks

You get a working earned-value or cost-to-complete dashboard in the first six weeks — Discover, Prototype, Deploy — not a 50-slide roadmap and an 18-month programme.

06

Directly accountable

The person who scopes the work builds it. No hand-off to a junior team, no sales-engineering pyramid — Amit stays accountable through delivery.

Questions EPC and real estate teams ask us

The practical questions that come up before we start — on earned value, variation orders, WIP valuation and the ERP and project systems you already run.

How does earned value management (EVM) analytics help EPC companies control project costs?

Cost overruns in EPC projects almost always start as data problems — budget vs actual is tracked in spreadsheets, purchase orders are not linked to project codes, and progress is self-reported rather than derived from certified milestones. We build EVM dashboards that connect your ERP, Oracle Primavera, and QS data to give project controllers real-time schedule performance index (SPI) and cost performance index (CPI) visibility, with automated alerts when any work package deviates beyond tolerance. This applies whether you are operating in India, the GCC, the UK, or across a global portfolio.

How do you handle variation order and change management analytics for EPC contractors?

Variation orders tracked in spreadsheets are one of the most common sources of margin leakage we see in EPC. We integrate your contract management system, ERP, and project controls data to give commercial teams a live view of all pending, approved, and rejected variations — linked to their contract impact, approval status, and budget effect. This gives the CFO and Commercial Director a single source of truth for change order exposure across the entire portfolio.

What ERP and project management tools do you integrate with for EPC companies?

We integrate with Oracle Primavera P6, SAP S/4HANA, SAP ByD, Microsoft Dynamics, Procore, Sage 300 CRE, Acumatica Construction, and other EPC and project management platforms. We have delivered EPC analytics engagements across India, the GCC, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK, and North America — and our Microsoft Fabric lakehouse approach works regardless of the ERP stack your business runs on.

How do you automate WIP valuation and month-end financial close for EPC businesses?

Manual WIP valuation and retention tracking are the primary causes of slow month-end close in EPC. We replace estimate-based month-end processes with automated WIP models calculated from certified costs, milestone data, and contract terms — connected directly to your ERP. Clients typically reduce their financial close cycle from three to four weeks down to four to five days after implementing automated WIP and retention reporting.
