1. Fragmented Project Management Oversight
   - Challenge: Disjointed systems for managing progress, cost, risk, and communication lead to delays and miscommunication in large infrastructure projects.
   - Significance: In industries like construction and infrastructure, clear, integrated oversight is critical to avoiding costly delays and ensuring that every aspect of a project is aligned.

2. Inefficient Risk and Issues Management
   - Challenge: Inability to effectively track, manage, and mitigate risks and issues can lead to unforeseen project failures or cost overruns.
   - Significance: For large construction and infrastructure projects, risk management is vital to maintaining project timelines, quality standards, and budget adherence.

3. Compliance and Safety Gaps
   - Challenge: Maintaining compliance with safety regulations and environmental standards is a complex task without the right tools.
   - Significance: In industries like rail construction, safety and compliance are non-negotiable, and any lapses can lead to legal issues, project shutdowns, or accidents.

4. Lack of Real-Time Data and Insights**
   - Challenge: Many project management tools do not provide real-time data analytics, making it difficult for project managers to make informed decisions promptly.
   - Significance: Real-time data and analytics empower decision-makers to adjust project variables on the fly, ensuring project optimization and reduced inefficiencies.

5. Poor Communication and Collaboration
   - Challenge: Ineffective communication between stakeholders (internal teams, contractors, government agencies) often leads to misalignment and duplicated work.
   - Significance: Large infrastructure projects involve multiple stakeholders, making it crucial to have a collaborative platform that facilitates seamless communication.

6. Budget Overruns and Cost Control
   - Challenge: Inadequate cost tracking and poor change order management can result in budget overruns.
   - Significance: Staying within budget is critical for project success, especially in industries where profit margins are tightly controlled by contract agreements.

7. Inability to Track Progress Efficiently
   - Challenge: Project managers often struggle with keeping accurate, up-to-date progress reports due to disconnected systems.
   - Significance: Accurate progress tracking is essential for ensuring that projects are on schedule and meeting key milestones, especially in time-sensitive industries.
