DANAOS Projects develops and sells ProjectVIEW ERP, a Tier-1 cloud enterprise platform purpose-built for construction, marine-offshore, mining, and shipbuilding project management. The platform features a proprietary trilateral BoQ (Bill of Quantities) ↔ WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) ↔ Cost Codes architecture that delivers real-time cost control and project performance management, deployed on Microsoft Azure cloud or on-premises, with implementation executed by in-house professional engineers.

Product overview

DANAOS Projects delivers a unified Tier-1 enterprise platform called ProjectVIEW ERP with a modular architecture built around its proprietary trilateral BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Codes connectivity. The core platform (ProjectVIEW ERP Core) serves as the foundation, supplemented by 10 functional modules covering the complete project lifecycle: Budget Estimation-Bidding, Cost Control, Subcontractors Management, Procurement and Purchasing, Materials and Production Management, Machinery Management, HRMS-Payroll, Accounting-Finance Management, Suppliers Account Payables, and Customers Account Receivables. Access to the platform is provided through API, Native Connectors, and Third-party ERP Integration modules, with cloud deployment via projectview.cloud (Azure). The company also offers separate but complementary products including ProjectVIEW AI (distinct commercial model for AI-powered predictive analytics), ProjectQ, and the DANAOS Vortex Suite for facility management. All products target capital-intensive, project-driven industries including construction, marine-offshore, shipbuilding, mining, and project-based manufacturing.

Direct peers

• Jonas Construction Software: Jonas offers an integrated construction ERP covering accounting, job cost, service management and equipment. Highly comparable mid-market positioning and similar functional scope to ProjectVIEW ERP modules.
• CMiC: CMiC offers a construction-focused ERP platform covering financials, project management, and field operations. Most direct comparable as a single-suite ERP purpose-built for capital-project contractors, similar to DANAOS' ProjectVIEW.
• RIB Software (now part of Schneider Electric): RIB provides iTWO construction ERP and 5D BIM-enabled cost control for contractors and developers globally. Competes head-on with ProjectVIEW on BoQ-driven estimating and cost management for complex capital projects.
• Trimble Viewpoint: Trimble Viewpoint (Vista/Spectrum/Job Costing) is an enterprise construction ERP vendor serving heavy/civil and specialty contractors with deep project cost control — directly overlaps DANAOS' Construction & Engineering ERP positioning.

Regional players

• Explorer Software (now part of Deltek): Explorer (now Deltek) provides construction ERP for project-based and project-driven businesses in North America and internationally. Comparable module set with project cost control and ERP focus, somewhat smaller in scope and presence than ProjectVIEW's vertical coverage.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle Primavera / Oracle Construction and Engineering: Oracle Primavera P6 and Unifier are core scheduling and project-controls platforms that DANAOS integrates with — also a competitor on the capital-project controls and project ERP layer for large EPCs.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations: Microsoft's project operations and Finance ERP — combined with Azure-hosted deployment — directly overlaps with DANAOS' positioning as a project-centric ERP on Azure for enterprise contractors.
• Sage 100 Contractor / Sage Construction: Sage's construction-product line (100 Contractor, 300 CRE, Intacct Construction) targets mid-market contractors with accounting + project cost. Competes with DANAOS on the financial-control and ERP-for-contractors axis.
• Procore Technologies: Procore is the largest construction-management platform spanning project execution, financials and preconstruction. Broader than DANAOS but increasingly overlapping on cost control, ERP-adjacent workflows and project ERP positioning for general contractors.

Emerging players

• IFS Cloud (Construction & Engineering): IFS offers an enterprise ERP purpose-built for asset-intensive and project-driven industries (E&C, shipbuilding, aerospace). Closest large-vendor analog to ProjectVIEW's capital-project / shipbuilding focus.
