PROS- Customer service - Timely responses - Fluid platform - Easy to learn - Reporting function is great
CONS- Difficult to track interim milestones, as opposed to one overall milestone... However, Touchplan is always open to ideas and suggestions from their customers

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.
PROSI 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.
CONSThere 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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's been an average experience. I dont think it works much better than what we previously used.
I like that you can get it online. It's helpful that subs can check at any time and we can keep them accountable.
CONSThere is no way to undo your moves. When you move around the screen and you accidentally move something it doesnt allow you to start over. Also it is harder to find individual tickets than when we did it through excel.

Working with touchplan form a subcontractors perspective.
I thought when Wes did the introductory meeting that it would be tedious to use and not much help. But after going through a project and working with the software my opinion was changed. I now see the value of working collective on the schedule instead of trying to satisfy an arbitrary schedule set by others without consideration of actual project conditions and su
PROSI liked that you could project a work schedule forward and it came from the men doing the work, which from the field side is a better perspective. Also once I set a schedule then during the meetings any changes due to priority issues could be identified and worked out between the contractors involved. The superintendent just needed to moderate the proceeding and watch his completion schedule being shortened usually.
CONSWorking from and IPad I found some of the features to be limited and at some points slow to react.

Touch Plan was a great tool for our project.
It was an easy way to provide my weekly schedule updates without having to email a schedule to the the CM each week.
PROSI liked that it was real time and that all of the contractors could be entering their tickets in at the same time. The software was easy to use.
CONSMore colors were needed as we had more contractors than colors. Without enough colors it got confusing as to who was responsible for what as multiple contractors had the same colors.

Once the basic information is loaded the software has been fairly easy yo use
Maintaining the logic from week to week is helpful during updates and easily modified for any changes that occur
CONSI would like to see the planned start and planned finish date be formatted month,day, year. Other than that it seems fairly straightforward.
