Case Study: Fincantieri Marinette Marine achieves faster, more accurate bids with ProPricer

Fincantieri Marinette Marine - Customer Case Study

Fincantieri Marinette Marine (FMM), a shipbuilder for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, faced significant challenges with its manual, spreadsheet-based estimating and pricing processes. The lack of standardization and consistency led to slow, error-prone bids and difficult negotiations with its prime contractors, putting both profits and customer relationships at risk. To address this, FMM turned to the ProPricer estimating and pricing software for a solution.

By implementing ProPricer, FMM gained a structured and standardized system for all project estimates. The solution enforced formula consistency, streamlined reporting, and enabled seamless file exchange with partners. The results were transformative: FMM reduced its entire cycle time for bids, change orders, and reporting by 75%, handling large change orders in hours instead of weeks. Furthermore, ProPricer provided the rigorous structure that enabled FMM to confidently compete for and win new contracts as a prime contractor.
