    A great construction costing solution

    5

    When I came across Planyard, I knew that this was the piece of software that I had been looking for, for some time. I use cloud accounting software Xero and Quickbooks but they don’t have specific construction-based costing tools. They have project management costing tools but they are quite basic and don't have the level of detail and functionality that construction companies need. Planyard solves this and its made a massive difference to the service I can provide for my clients. The great thing about Planyard is that it saves so much time through automation, it eliminates potential errors and it provides real time data, so no wasted time! Subcontract orders, purchase orders and other project documents are put through the system and emailed direct to the subcontractors and the suppliers. They then submit their applications and invoices via the portal so the data entry is already done for you! I'm all for an easy life :). There's so much functionality to the software and new bits are added all the time.

    Pros:
    Its automated so it significantly reduces data entry. It eliminates many potential errors, for example that you would get on Excel. The data is accessible real time to aid cost control and decision making. Expensive QS's/PM's can focus on value added activities rather than filling out spreadsheets. If a QS leaves, the data is there and it's easy for a new QS to take over. Eliminates estimating errors. Better & quicker cost control and sign off of variations from clients. It keeps being updated with new useful features.
    Cons:
    I didn't find it sooner! Some of the terminology was confusing but this has been updated now. And there is a detailed explanation attached to every box within the software. The support team are also very willing to help if you have any queries.

    Reasons for switching to Planyard

    Excel was too slow and there were too many errors. It's too reliant on human input. Other software such as Coins is very expensive and only useful to very large construction companies. Planyard is affordable for the small and medium market and can actually grow with you and be a very useful tool whatever your size.

    Really good. Its not embedded in the way our company does business and every person in the company uses it every day. The system has an in built contacts section that sync with our Xero. We're able to categorise contacts and leave notes and reviews for ourselves - so we can build up a solid database of reliable contacts. We can also look at every contact and see all the past purchase orders, invoices etc associated with that contact. This has been a real bonus on top of the cost management and tracking functions of planyard. Xero takes care of our accounts and Planyard manages our day to day cost tracking and reporting. They work seemlessly together and also provide a level of separation between the company finances and the project work.

    Pros:
    Planyard integrates seamlessly with Xero, avoiding having to enter information in 2 seperate places, reducing the risk of errors and saving time. Also ensures real-time cost tracking that is always as up to date as it can be. Every purchase order, subcontractor payment, and invoice syncs automatically, giving us instant financial clarity. The system is intuitive and built for construction, making cost control simple and effective. For external clients, we can provide access to the Planyard portal, giving them real-time insights into their project costs. It’s a game-changer compared to relying on error-prone and delayed Excel spreadsheets. It has been a real selling point to clients and allows us to demonstrate how we're doing this differently, and better than our competition.
    Cons:
    No real issues. Any queries we have had have generally been user error and the answers are in their FAQs or help guides.

    Reasons for choosing Planyard

    Price and useability. Others offered far more complex solutions that wouljd not have been of use to us.

    A good construction costing solution with a great customer support

    With Planyard we found a good solution for submitting quotes, evaluating and comparing prices, placing orders and tracking progress on screen and through reports. It is an excellent tool for cost control and now we can recognize the resources spent, assess the remaining resources and costs and identify the potential deviations. Planyard has become an important tool to manage our projects and to provide information in time to our company's board.

    Pros:
    It´s an easy-to-use software and provides a clear control of your budget and linking to Xero will allow your accounting to be synchronized with the projects. With recent developments and improved features, it´s easy now to place purchase orders, valuations and manage subcontractors. The invoices upload and approval are accurate and intuitive and as soon as approved the documents are automatically sent to Xero. The Fizure team has been quite remarkable in listening to and improving the product in near real-time in response to feedback from myself and the entire team involved. Super helpful and qualified support team.
    Cons:
    The consolidation of information, namely the costs invoiced and incurred could be better, but it seems that improving this functionality is already on its roadmap.

    Reasons for switching to Planyard

    Reduce time managing the works and avoid repetitive tasks. With Planyard, the Project Managers could improve the management of our projects and we were able in real time to involve the entire team around the projects and make the most accurate decisions.

    It would be nice if there was some flexibility and customisation available on the documents it generates. Currently they look great, but having the ability to collapse cost sections when there is nothing being claimed on a client contract valuation would be nice.

    Saves project managers a lot of time on data entry and reporting

    5

    Dealing with paper invoices and commitments seems like the stone age compared to Fizure. Previously, when an error slipped into the budget, it was hard work tracking it down. No matter how small the error, it meant going through a tall stack of printed invoices one by one. It also used to be hard to put together a budget review for the construction manager because the data was split between Excel and accounting software. Now the entire budget is in Fizure and it's always up to date. I don't have to use Excel anymore which means less things to do. I can work on everything related to the budget in one place. I have literally saved several days per month using Fizure. I didn't even need to look at the training videos, I pretty much got how the software works on my own. Even when I did have questions, the team at Fizure was quick to respond - no matter whether through in-app support chat or email. The subcontractors have come along with the new software nicely as well

    Pros:
    I finally don’t have to work in Excel anymore or do duplicate data entry. The subcontractors do the work for me when they report progress through commitments or respond to RFQs. Fizure also does budget calculations for me. Everything is kept up to date and the forecasts work in real time. I don’t have to stay up all night to do the calculations manually when the month’s end approaches and everyone wants to get paid. Commitments and invoicing work great there. In addition I save around an hour per RFQ because Fizure automates this process and makes RFQs easily comparable. That adds up to several workdays per project.
    Cons:
    Processing consolidated invoices could be better but it seems fixing this is on their roadmap already.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Martin, Thank you for the review. Yes, we can confirm that consolidated invoicing is in development already and should be released within a couple of weeks.

    Planyard is a great leap forward in my everyday work

    For me personally, Planyard is an elementary tool, that provides a quick and operative overview and that visualizes the importance. I can not imagine, that I still had to manually track the invoices and enter them one by one on Excel to see my committed costs. That feels like the stone age. I would probably need to have a secretary who deals with the invoices if I was working via Excel.
