"Planyard is basically a live CVR and saves time by making Excel unnecessary. Once a project’s set up, I can rely on Planyard to stay organized without spreadsheets."
Read more
"Planyard is exactly what I’m after as a business owner: a good-value system that keeps everything in one place, saves me money and makes sure I’m not losing any money on projects. As a businessman, that’s a no-brainer."

"I’m confident that we can manage multiple projects effectively. We’re currently running three fairly large ones, and the system makes it very clear and easy to manage all of them at once."

"I chose Planyard because it stood out as the most straightforward and intuitive option on the market. I really wanted a tool that would simplify our existing processes and make everything more efficient, rather than switching to a system that was far too complicated for us to use on a daily basis."

"Planyard has completely replaced my CVR process. Cost Value Reconciliation is essentially about tracking your budget against your actual spend to see exactly what remains, and that functionality is the absolute essence of the central core of Planyard."

"For me Planyard is essentially the go to software for SMBs. There are other software packages out there that are a large investment upfront with a significant monthly cost. These are all potential solutions once you get to a very large business but they are not a solution for SMBs."
"Timewise, on a single project, I'd probably save 6 to 8 hours—essentially a full day every month. When it comes to processing monthly payments, it saves me a solid day, perhaps even a day and a half, just in sorting through the invoices. Saving a day and a half of my time means the system pays for itself time and time again."
