It allows stakeholders to follow up the completion of projects with high efficiency

Touchplan helped us accurately monitor project completion and allowed stakeholders to intervene in a timely manner to prevent delays.

PROS

I really like Touchplan's ability to involve contractors in tracking the work program throughout the project lifecycle. I really appreciate Touchplan's unique tools, which allow us to set up a work program that includes all activities and resources. It is great that Touchplan allows us to design the WBS of the project, no matter how many sub-levels are, and the activities under each level are entered easily, and the automation helps with the exact linking of the activities, and showing the start and end dates for them, as well as for the project, and I greatly appreciate that all these steps are done with the cooperation of all Project parties including contractors, consultants and stakeholders, ensuring that the plan is properly prepared. Touchplan's dashboard is unique, it shows updates and we can take notes on it and also allows sending alerts to colleagues. The reporting tools are unique, and we can cooperate with them in preparing them and also send them to the stakeholders, who can review them and send notes on them directly to the specialists.

CONS

There are no worrisome matters, especially when defining the powers to update the program in the planning and scheduling team, as this ensures that the update process for completion is carried out on time, and all parties to the project can rely on the results and follow the delivery dates accurately.

Lack of logic ties

It's a fairly dummy proof program, however, I think it needs to work on more towards something like P6 or Project where there's a critical path in order to have a huge impact and help the construction teams.

PROS

Live update, multiple user can get in and make updates at the same time, interactive with others. The schedule can be access from any device with internet connection.

CONS

There is no logic ties between activities. We tried using constraint but was also informed to avoid using constraints on all activities. Undo button, for quick messed up that you did 2-3 secs ago. Quick Copy and paste function for multiple tickets, not the duplicate function. Also, I wish we can copy and paste all the activities from 1 phase plan with its "logic" or positions into another phase plan.

Touchplan is a good tool, but I think that the "report" creating function could improve.

Benefits that I get are knowing where the Trade Partners are working on a daily basis and what activities they plan on doing, This allows the Subs to be able to plan and coordinate with each other.

PROS

It is easy to teach the Subcontractors how to use the stickies correctly. The ease of use is important to getting the Subs to use Touchplan on a daily basis. I also like that you can see who is inside the plan and is actively working.

CONS

I do not like the report function. It should give you an example of the report you are producing before you generate it. I am computer savvy, but cannot figure out how to properly use the report tool. It seems like Touchplan has some bugs too. I continuously get an error message at the top of my screen and it said that our payment was overdue for an entire month which was incorrect.

It has streamlined our planning and execution of those plans

Read my prior review. This is a great, industry changing product!

PROS

Having the ability to breakdown a project as minute and detailed as you want with the designated manpower, duration's, and cost codes, or the ability to do a high level plan when a project is first being designed and engineered.

CONS

The font on the tickets is too small when zoomed out to look at a couple months duration's, which is the majority of the projects my contractor does. Also having a better file break down system would be helpful. We have one job site, but then we have about 30 jobs in that one folder. If you could break it down to individual Project managers jobs that might be helpful.
