Peculiarity

Bridge also has some features that distinguish it, introduced over the years to support the operations of the users: 

-  “Excel-like” interface, that characterizes all modules of the system and that, with functions of collapse and expansion of the rows contained in the worksheets and configurability of the different profiles of visibility of the columns, allows an easy management and consultation of a high number of data;

-  Progressive Recasting, which allows you to allocate the values of Estimate Items (EI) into Control Items (CI), and which allows you to track and maintain at all times the relationship (many to many) between the cost estimated (at EI level) and the cost planned and budgeted (at CI level);

-  Classification of Control Items contained in the Operational Plan (Ae, Ai, Ap, B, C, D), which determines the different ways in which the same are treated both in the planning phase and in the control phase;

-  Ability to Analyze and Clean up the data acquired from other corporate information systems (accounting and logistical) before incorporating them, thus avoiding errors due to improper attributions;

-  Forecast Rolling, that manages in an effective and sustainable way the daily evolution of Expected Final Costs (EAC) in terms of value, nature and responsibility;

-  Daily Traceability Trend (EAC tracking), in terms of value and composition, of the Final Expected Cost;

-  Screening, which is an original and effective tool that allows you to analyze (both in graphical and in tabular way) the time-phased data of the single Projects, Contracts, Subcontracts and of the Porfolios.
