Project management software for manufacturing teams
ProjectManager helps manufacturing teams manage orders, track production cycles and plan complex, time-sensitive projects on one online platform. With powerful, yet intuitive project management tools, you and your team are equipped to execute manufacturing projects at scale without getting lost in the details.
Whether it’s responding to scheduling changes, customer requests or resource shortages, ProjectManager helps you recognize risks—and opportunities—to adapt and thrive. Get the flexibility and transparency you need to deliver on time and on budget.
Precise planning
Mitigate bottlenecks and waste with dynamic project planning tools. Set milestones, link dependencies and identify the critical path for better execution.
Order management
Put your orders, documents and related notes all in one place. Track your fulfillment cycle from start to finish, and deliver updates to customers with confidence.
Continual improvement
Report on costs, time and resources for tasks, projects and portfolios to identify areas of improvement and analyze your margins.
Features for the whole team
With five different project views—Gantt, list, board, calendar and sheet—manufacturing teams can manage work the way they want to. And because our software is entirely online, team members can collaborate from anywhere and track changes in real time. There’s even a mobile app to quickly update tasks if you’re away from your desk.
Real-time tracking and reporting
With timesheets, dashboards, reports and approval workflows, you can be confident that you’re operating efficiently and delivering high-quality products. Track everything from the level of effort on a subtask to the total cost of a portfolio. ProjectManager delivers accurate insights into your projects and processes.
