Product tour—Retail capital program management and project controls

Primavera Unifier Essentials for retail

Digitize and automate your capital project planning and execution processes to improve efficiency, profitability, operational reliability, and customer service.

Based on Oracle's 20-plus years of capital program management expertise and leveraging industry and customer best practices, Primavera Unifier Essentials includes more than 55 preconfigured, guided business processes to help you prioritize the right projects, deliver them successfully, and maintain them efficiently.

Portfoliowide planning

Align your new retail facilities and retrofits with your organization's strategic goals by easily accessing up-to-date, relevant project information and using consistent prioritization criteria and processes.

Use past and current project data

Compare and contrast projects using current and past project data. Choose the projects you want to compare based on your evaluation criteria. Compare similar project types, such as standalone stores, retrofits, and distribution centers, to inform prioritization, selection, and budgeting decisions.

Visualization supports data-driven decisions

Heat maps provide clear visual representations of your priorities based on your evaluation criteria and let you filter by that criteria.

Cost planning and cash flow management

Centrally manage, plan, and control costs (including budgets, POs, payments, change management, and bids) across your complete portfolio of regional or global retail projects by leveraging consolidated data and out-of-the-box reports and dashboards.

The cash flow curve is fed by the cost sheet and schedule milestones, providing an accurate view of cash flow over time and across all your projects.

Manage multiple funding sources

Automate funding allocation and tracking across multiple budgets.

Connected cost and contract management

Manage commits at the enterprise and project level, including project-level commits against master agreements. Leverage integrations with DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Sign for digital signatures to keep your projects on track by allowing approvers to sign off no matter where they are.

Centralized contract and procurement management

Automate bid, contract, change, and payment management in one system.

Assign and track your schedule of values per commitment against cost processes to enforce governance and prevent misallocated costs.

Align budgets to commits to actuals.

Ensure appropriate payment and timing by automating retention management.

Invite vendors to collaborate in the system.

Change management

Speed up processes and reduce errors with one smooth flow from bid through contract creation, change management, and cost.

Approval flows: RFIs

Primavera Unifier Essentials has a form-based workflow engine. As an example, once an RFI creation form is completed, the related workflow is automatically generated.

You determine the participants, and Primavera Unifier Essentials records and tracks all actions for easy access, review, and approval, including subsequent reviews, to help keep all your retail projects on track.

Cross-project risk management

Reduce overall risk by providing your team with access to a central risk register.

Identify more risks and easily track risks from identification and quantification through to action and resolution.

Predictive alerts within Primavera Unifier Essentials give you the information you need to take proactive action before your projects are impacted and release contingency promptly when risk windows close.

Automatically create punch lists from owner walk-throughs

Primavera Unifier Essentials’ form-based workflow engine develops the punch list from the Owner Walk Through form.

After creation, the Oracle system assigns individual punch list items to the responsible individuals, who are instantaneously notified through Unifier Essentials.

Due dates, inspection readiness, and closeouts are all communicated and tracked in the system, so you can be sure to get your retail facilities operational and open for business on time.

Advanced reporting—out of the box

Primavera Unifier Essentials includes more than 200 reports and dashboards, each designed based on more than 20 years of successful implementations and built using Oracle Analytics Publisher, the tool used by leading global ERP systems to create reports and dashboards.

Avoid the need to develop custom reports and dashboards, which are costly and time consuming to build.
