Sales order & project management · Industrial equipment & machinery
Hold scope and terms on every order.
A signed PO, a 40-page contract, and a customer who keeps emailing scope changes. The change orders pile up unpriced while the schedule quietly drifts.
The reality
Scope creep is a paperwork problem.
An option gets added in a Tuesday call, the PM nods, and nobody prices it. By the time engineering builds it, there is no signed change order, no schedule revision, and no margin recovery. The contract review that should have flagged the payment-term mismatch never happened because it lived in a PDF nobody reread.
The operator owns intake to milestone. It reconciles the PO against the quote, redlines the contract against your standard terms, prices every change order from the BOM, routes it for signature, and pushes the new dates into the project schedule the moment scope shifts.
