Touchplan is so easy to learn and use. I've watched trade partner foremen who are using flip phones pick up a tablet for the first time and are successfully using the software in 15 minutes. Even the technophobes come around. Touchplan does a very good job of reinforcing Lean practices for project planning and execution. Teams get good quickly at adopting the standard practices of the Last Planner® System (LPS). The software also removes a big burden on the project team in administrating LPS.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Much better communication between all parties involved with the process. Clearer understanding of schedule expectations and capabilities. Better manpower projections. Improved planning at early stages of project. Better communication with client on schedule.

The buy in from the field is what adds the most value. The simplicity of the layout and functionality helps to get the people actually doing the work engaged (and sometimes even excited) about planning work. With full involvement of everyone on the team (with TouchPlan as the interface) coordinating work becomes much more effective.

The top feature on our wishlist would be that the manpower would sum up at the top of the planning space so that we could level manpower without creating a report each time.

Lean Planning Looking back at completion percentages Weekly Work Plans

- Customer service - Timely responses - Fluid platform - Easy to learn - Reporting function is great

- Difficult to track interim milestones, as opposed to one overall milestone... However, Touchplan is always open to ideas and suggestions from their customers

Using Touchplan has made implementing the Last Planner system on my project much easier. The software is easy to use and provide great reports to distribute information.

It is very easy to use and provides a way to collaboratively plan work with Trade Partners.

Wish that the activity tickets allowed for more detail like prerequisite work.

Simplicity of use and added to Lean culture to include people that may not be knowledgeable of critical path scheduling.

Simple display allows people less knowledgeable about construction to understand and participate. Easy to make changes and track reasons for delays.

A backup function would be nice if you accidentally delete or move an activity. The lane dividers are nice to seperate work into areas or categories. A link that that ties two items without hindering movement would be nice.

Ease of learning and fantastic customer service. Really allows you to track in real time project status and integrate team feedback.

They didn't come out with it sooner. You do need a world wide web connection to run the platform which can be difficult on certain job sites.

Great customer service, always looking for feedback and ways to improve!

Touchplan is an interactive program where all subcontractors can buy in to a construction program.

I would like to see what other applications Touchplan can be used in.

We have improved our schedules and execution of work Saving time and money.

Ease of use. Versatility to modify schedule while maintaining accurate historical data. Excellent customer support and easy on boarding.

The reporting could be simplified in certain circumstances for transparency to all parties utilizing the tool and external parties reviewing reports.

It is extremely easy to use. I teach our tradesmen how to use touchplan with ease. Even for those who are not very computer literate. Touchplan helps you see your plans and create a logical work flow.

I do not have any cons that apply to the software itself. It is simple and intuitive.

Touchplan allows meetings to give accurate dates to schedule and actually speeds up finish dates on projects...

The program is easy for someone who has limited computer experience to excel...

I have had no problems with this program

Avoided having to do a pull planning session in person with a bunch of sticky notes. With touch plan I had the schedule in my pocket, on my ipad, and on my computer at any time.

It was easy to make the tickets, assign manpower and add durations. And since most of our tasks are repeating, I liked how you could duplicate them.

The constraints were a little confusing. It was hard to know where to schedule things if you were waiting on another trade. You really need every contractor on the project using touchplan to make it work as it should.

The software easy to learn. This is perfect platform to implement the traditional pull planning session in construction. This is a great planning tool for the contractors, sub-contractors and owners/clients. This can generate customize reports that can help understand a specific trade or the entire schedule.

Its a platform which is great but its still a bit short when compared to Oracale Primavera, but I am optimistic it can grow and be very helpful as planning and scheduling tool.

I like the easy functionality of the software. I love the ease of reporting.

It's hard to flip between swim lanes and project all the work

The overall experience was favorable and forced the 10 different trades on a large construction site to get together and formulate a legitimate plan.

Easy to use once I understood how it worked. I liked the way the days could be extended for more than a single day of planning. We used different colors representing the individual trades involved and some used icons that were provided.

I thought it was difficult to plan for long periods of time, although maybe that wasn't explained to me,

Electronic pull planning saves a lot of paper and space. It also makes it much easier to track and record.

Easy to use. Touchplan reps have also come out to visit our job site to help us with any questions and get us started.

Not completely adjustable to meet project needs.
