PlanningForce Construction Customers are establishing significant competitive advantages. They are getting 1) an integrated view of their project portfolios, thus achieving better coordinated work between engineering and field, 2) more effective and reliable booking of internal resources and subcontractors, 3) better utilization of scarce and costly specialized resources , 4) optimized material purchasing and 5) more reliable delivery times to avoid costly penalties.
Adopt new tools and new management methodologies to support your future growth.
Commonly used spreadsheet tools belong to the past. They are simply not designed to schedule finite capacities across a portfolio of complex projects with tight deadlines. Enterprise Lean Planning is the right solution for Construction companies who want to take the next step and optimize both their project portfolios and the use of their resources.

Your Advantages
Seamless coordination of work and teams
Manage the complexity of your processes and coordinate your full set of actors and locations with PlanningForce. The comprehensive planning approach is based on the principle of “one truth for all”.
Instead of having to consult dozens of different schedules which deal with identical topics at times, albeit expressed differently, gain a comprehensive, clear and consolidated vision of your company. This will allow management to coordinate work in real time for each actor in the value chain, regardless of their role or place of work.
If the system detects an anomaly, such as the lack resources or a delay in supplies, the planning engine automatically calculates the impact of this anomaly on order delivery dates and informs the manager of scheduling changes that will have to be made in order to minimize effects.
Align organization and company’s objectives
The steering cycle, the management committees, the prerogatives of actors, the activity models, the competency matrix… these are all aspects that will be examined or implemented in light of company objectives.
These objectives may refer to the quest for greater efficiency, the reduction of bad stress, stability in decision making or transparency in communication.
Improving the use of critical resources, eliminating bottlenecks, reducing the costs due to unnecessary subcontracting and overtime, reducing stock, optimizing incoming and outgoing logistics, reducing changing prioritization – these are all ingredients that come together symbiotically to reduce costs and standard production times.
Historical data help to improve your decision-making processes
All data is logged for later use in planning and for the revision of successive planning iterations. PlanningForce offers tools that allow comparing data forecasts run at the outset with data re-examined during production, and with data that was actually observed.
Historical data coupled with simulation techniques help you to determine how a project or project category adds to the overall portfolio value. By extension, this technique helps you to define the “ideal” portfolio, taking into account the company’s capacities at any given moment.
Since these can change over the long term, the simulations can be run simultaneously from either side of the optimization puzzle (projects and resources) to increase. gains over the long term.

CASE STUDIES
Our experience
SOTRABA chooses PlanningForce to plan all its new construction projects, from the introduction of a sales opportunity to the daily monitoring of the execution of works on site.
INASEP chooses PlanningForce to plan all the projects and resources of the four departments of its Study bureau, which represents more than 500 projects and 100 people to be planned and scheduled over one year.
Punch Powertrain chooses PlanningForce to plan and schedule all its R&D projects and resources and to monitor the work in order to update the progress of the project portfolio on a monthly basis and, so, facilitate reporting and the introduction of new projects.
TESTIMONIAL
When we combine integrated administrative management with project and resource planning, we are efficient. The value chain is not interrupted, because everything is planned: all the actions that must be necessary for the smooth running of the projects and their administrative management have been anticipated.
