Touchplan makes it easy to get started with Lean and the Last Planner System
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.

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.
PROSIt 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.
CONSI 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.

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.
PROSLive 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.
CONSThere 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.

It has streamlined our planning and execution of those plans
Read my prior review. This is a great, industry changing product!
PROSHaving 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.
CONSThe 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.

We use touchplan
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSThe 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.

Touchplan Review
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.
PROSIt is very easy to use and provides a way to collaboratively plan work with Trade Partners.
CONSWish that the activity tickets allowed for more detail like prerequisite work.

Very easy to learn and easy to have others understand and participate
Simplicity of use and added to Lean culture to include people that may not be knowledgeable of critical path scheduling.
PROSSimple display allows people less knowledgeable about construction to understand and participate. Easy to make changes and track reasons for delays.
CONSA 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.

Excellent software.
Ease of learning and fantastic customer service. Really allows you to track in real time project status and integrate team feedback.
CONSThey 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 for Scheduling!
Great customer service, always looking for feedback and ways to improve!
PROSTouchplan is an interactive program where all subcontractors can buy in to a construction program.
CONSI would like to see what other applications Touchplan can be used in.
Reason for choosing Touchplan
It is a more collaborative and simpler way to do scheduling

Visualizing the logistics of your project
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.
CONSI do not have any cons that apply to the software itself. It is simple and intuitive.

I liked the tickets, easy it was to move them around. I thought it gave a good visual of schedule.
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.
PROSIt 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.
CONSThe 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.

Great tool for pull planning, helps schedule in detail, can generate quick reports.
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.
CONSIts 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.

TouchPlan Review
The overall experience was favorable and forced the 10 different trades on a large construction site to get together and formulate a legitimate plan.
PROSEasy 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.
CONSI 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.
PROSEasy to use. Touchplan reps have also come out to visit our job site to help us with any questions and get us started.
