In addition to the features available for the mid-sized tier, the large-sized project functionality lets users automate the bidding and progress billing process and have the subcontractors do the data entry.
Easily create and send bid requests to subcontractors and vendors. The bids are submitted by filling in a simple spreadsheet, and they are immediately ready for evaluation on the Planyard bid comparison view.
Spot the budget risks several months in advance and have a clear overview of project end costs and profitability forecasts. Have one place for all the stakeholders to run the bid requests.
Planyard progress billing makes it easy to collect and approve the subcontractor’s monthly applications for payment.
The submitted progress bills and the change orders are linked with the contracted cost and previous progress bills, which means that there is no risk of data entry errors by the subcontractors and, ultimately, no risk of overbilling.
When using the progress billing tools, the subcontractors are the only ones doing the data entry.
“I would say that Planyard is a great way to easily and conveniently track your job costs in one place. It keeps track of all of the documents and the numbers in one place. If there’s some problem with the budget, it just tells you what you need to fix and you’ll be fine. It really just kind of thinks a step ahead for you.”
“Planyard is a live overview of your project. How they are performing financially and it is basically a CVR that is live all the time. I have saved a lot of time! It’s so much easier now that I am less reliant on Excel. When we’ve been awarded a project and we’ve uploaded the project on Planyard, I don’t need to look at spreadsheets anymore.”
