Project oversight simplified with PlanRadar’s new scheduling tool

The new scheduling feature will support team oversight and contribute towards on-time delivery of construction and real estate projects

PlanRadar, one of Europe’s leading digital construction and real estate site management platforms, has introduced a new scheduling tool, designed to ease construction and maintenance challenges, providing clearer task oversight and helping meet agreed deadlines.

The new ‘Gantt View’ enhances PlanRadar’s existing platform by visualising the key phases in a project. Combining its user-friendly interface with an easy-view display, it allows users to create project schedules to a standard, universally-recognised Gantt model.

Unlike other, similar tools, ‘Gantt View’ works within PlanRadar’s existing Ticket functionality, making it more efficient, flexible and user friendly.  It empowers users to perfectly plan the project journey, enabling them to build clear, robust charts from existing task lists, plotting key milestones and highlighting priority actions. Assisting with the identification of potential issues early on, it directly prevents delays and ensures projects are kept on track.

The new feature also ensures delays which do occur in the schedule are easily highlighted for quick resolution and, as changes to the project plan occur, users can quickly drag & drop items, to efficiently and seamlessly update the schedule. Essentially, it allows project managers to keep on top off any spontaneous changes or developments to ensure no stone is left unturned.

Able to work in conjunction with other popular scheduling software, customers can also import schedules from Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or ASTA Powerproject. Users can then add their PlanRadar Tickets within the Schedule, and modify the phases within PlanRadar as needed.

Commenting on the introduction of the enhancement, Ibrahim Imam, PlanRadar Co-Founder and Co-CEO, said: “The success of any project comes down to the ability for the team to stay on track. Nowhere is this more true than in construction, where the slightest error or defect can have huge ramifications. Furthermore, with so many different players involved in the planning, construction and handover phase, keeping on top of every aspect requires a clear and robust schedule, with responsibilities clearly allocated. Failure to achieve this, risks deadlines being missed, resulting in costly delays. PlanRadar’s schedule is designed to prevent this, equipping project managers with an intuitive tool with which they can track project progress, whilst providing oversite to other relevant personnel.”

Co-CEO, Sander Van de Rijdt added: “It’s also important to make any new technology accessible and user-friendly for all members of a project team as the construction industry digitalises. As such, user-friendly interfaces were essential requirements for this add-on, meaning anyone can work the platform with ease. Our Gantt View will continue to evolve with new capabilities to be announced in the near future. It’s one of many platform enhancements we plan to develop over 2022 and beyond, providing global construction with the tools to support more efficient and low waste delivery which achieves higher margins.”

This latest feature is launched hot-on-the-heels of integration solution ‘PlanRadar Connect’, the next development following the start-ups successful $69 million ‘Series B’ investment round. Raised to further improve the company’s R&D capabilities, funds have been directed to a wide range of innovations including a new tech hub and dedicated product innovation team to support the platform as it grows and evolves.
