Scheduling products
AL
ALICE
ALICE is a cloud construction-simulation and schedule-optimization platform. ALICE Core starts from an imported Primavera schedule, while ALICE Pro adds a BIM-first workflow that links means and methods, quantities, resources, schedule, cost, and 4D context.
- Schedule feasibility checks
- AI-assisted what-if optioneering
- Resource, calendar, and milestone scenarios
AP
Asta Powerproject
Asta Powerproject supports detailed construction schedules, resource and cost planning, earned value, what-if scenarios, schedule-quality analysis, and 4D simulation.
- CPM scheduling
- Resource planning and leveling
- Cost and earned-value control
AN
Autodesk Navisworks
Navisworks combines multidisciplinary models for visual review, clash detection, schedule simulation, construction sequencing, quantification, and issue coordination.
- Multiformat model federation
- Clash detection in Manage
- 4D TimeLiner simulation
BU
Buildots
Buildots processes regular 360° site captures against the project BIM and schedule to report installed work, production trends, incomplete areas, and emerging delay risk. It is an enterprise controls layer rather than a general-purpose photo repository.
- 360° site capture
- Model-based installed-work recognition
- Trade, floor, zone, and activity progress views
DO
Doxel
Doxel combines hardhat-mounted 360° capture, BIM, schedule, and budget data to quantify work in place, analyze production rates, forecast cost and schedule outcomes, and provide visual evidence for project controls.
- Hardhat-mounted 360° site capture
- Computer-vision work-in-place measurement
- Trade and location production rates
IN
InEight
InEight provides an integrated suite for owners and contractors delivering complex capital, infrastructure, industrial, and energy work.
- Capital estimating
- Cost and forecasting
- Contract management
OP
Oracle Primavera P6 EPPM
Primavera P6 EPPM is Oracle’s multiuser planning and scheduling system for complex programs. It supports CPM schedules, resource and cost loading, baselines, progress collection, portfolio views, and reporting; the separate P6 Professional desktop client remains common in scheduler-led workflows.
- Critical-path scheduling
- Work breakdown structures and activity coding
- Resource and cost loading
OU
Outbuild
Outbuild is a cloud scheduling and planning application built for construction teams. It combines CPM schedules with field lookaheads, weekly commitments, roadblocks, schedule-impact requests, analytics, and project-management integrations.
- CPM master scheduling
- Integrated lookaheads
- Weekly work plans
SM
SmartPM
SmartPM sits above existing CPM schedules and analyzes each baseline and update for logic quality, compression, delay, progress, feasibility, and predicted completion. Dashboards roll the same measures from an individual project up to the company portfolio.
- 35-plus schedule quality checks
- Baseline and update comparison
- Critical-path and delay analysis
SM
Smartsheet
Smartsheet is a general work-management platform that construction teams use for schedules, logs, approvals, portfolio dashboards, and repeatable workflows.
- Grid and card views
- Gantt schedules
- Forms
TO
Touchplan
Touchplan gives project teams a shared planning board for phase and pull planning, make-ready lookaheads, weekly work plans, constraints, commitments, and Lean performance metrics. Its synchronization tools exchange selected schedule data with P6, Oracle Primavera Cloud, and Microsoft Project.
- Digital pull and phase planning
- Make-ready lookaheads
- Constraint ownership and tracking
