Planner Suite is designed the way project work is actually managed. Project support tools need to be simple and integrated if they are going to fit the real life situations of project-intensive organizations.
We are a process-oriented organisation and have extensive experience working with multiple projects for customers around the world. We have asked companies how they would like the perfect tool to work. We have simplified and modified, and we can now provide core features in a common tool which is simple to use, and that provides powerful, focused functionality for planning, time & cost reporting, analysis, document sharing, billing and reporting.

Access from anywhere

One common demand is to be able to access the data from anywhere. We first developed a desktop edition which works over internet. This ensures good performance and functionality. However, since some consultants may not be able to use the software from customer sites, we have also developed a web-based version with the main reporting functionality. This web version is being constantly developed and over time more and more of the functionality will be available from the web.

We can also host the application for you, please contact us for more information and request a quote.
