What do you like best about Planyard?

It´s an easy-to-use software and provides a clear control of your budget and linking to Xero will allow your accounting to be synchronized with the projects.

With recent developments and improved features, it´s easy now to place purchase orders, valuations and manage subcontractors.

The invoices upload and approval are accurate and intuitive and as soon as approved the documents are automatically sent to Xero.

The Fizure team has been quite remarkable in listening to and improving the product in near real-time in response to feedback from myself and the entire team involved. Super helpful and qualified support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planyard?

The consolidation of information, namely the costs invoiced and incurred could be better, but it seems that improving this functionality is already on its roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planyard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reduce time managing the works and avoid repetitive tasks.

With Planyard, the Project Managers could improve the management of our projects and we were able in real time to involve the entire team around the projects and make the most accurate decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planyard?

The biggest advantage of Planyard is that it helped me move away from excel! Manually updating excel tables for project cost control is time consuming and also error prone. Using Planyard greatly simplifies the whole process saving time and energy that is best used elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planyard?

As Planyard is a relatively new product it will take some time and effort to get the whole supply chain used to using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planyard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Main benefits of using Plnayard are trackability of costs and less errors made inserting data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planyard?

Super helpful and responsive support staff who are the actual developers, not a call centre worker reading from a script.

Planyard takes away a lot of the headaches from manual data entry and keeping spreadsheets up to date. Gives a clear and easy visual display of your construction budgets and links to xero so your bookkeeping is in sync with your spending and your budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planyard?

There have been a few niggles over time with functionality and usage, but the Planyard team have been quite remarkable at listening and improving the product almost in real-time in response to feedback from myself and others. As the product evolves it becomes better and better suited to the task in hand and is now an essential part of our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planyard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Planyard has become and invaluable tool to keep on top of budgets, book-keeping and accounting. It also has the capacity to grow with us, having plenty of features that we do not use at the moment, but will clearly be beneficial as we increase the size and scale of our operations.

What do you like best about Planyard?

Its very user friendly so you can learn the software quickly. It makes your life easier quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planyard?

That I didn't find it sooner! Some of the terminology was confusing but this has been updated now. And there is a detailed explanation attached to every box within the software. The support team are also very willing to help if you have any queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Planyard:

Give it a go and save your business the cost of employing more surveyors! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planyard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its automated so it significantly reduces data entry. It eliminates many potential errors, for example that you would get on Excel. The data is accessible real time to aid cost control and decision making. Expensive QS's/PM's can focus on value added activities rather than filling out spreadsheets. If a QS leaves, the data is there and it's easy for a new QS to take over. Eliminates estimating errors. Better & quicker cost control and sign off of variations from clients. It keeps being updated with new useful features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Planyard?

I save 3 workdays a month (15% of my work time). One part is time-saving, but another part is stress - I don't need to follow in detail that every invoice would get copied on Excel, that nothing would be entered twice, nothing gets lost, or that there wouldn't be a calculation error. It's especially important as there are constantly new priorities coming up for a project manager and it's hard to find time for focusing and doing manual budget tracking.

Planyard UI is quite user-friendly. It just took a couple of hours to learn the main functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planyard?

---------------------------------------- Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planyard solving and how is that benefiting you?

The management can at any point in time get a real-time overview of projects' financial performance. There is no delay in synchronization - which means that the problems get visualized when they happen and not one month later. It's much less risky to make mistakes with comma separators or just by typing numbers. There is much less room for error and misinterpretation when using specific software.

What do you like best about Planyard?

It’s easy to use. It takes me just two clicks to send cost documents to Fizure through their Outlook add-on and I can deal with them further whenever I have time.

All the documents and data are now in one place. I don’t have to use a complicated system of folders or print anything out. Plus contracts, progress reports, costs etc. are linked together with line-items and subcontractors, so, can always see what’s behind the numbers.

It has simplified things for site engineers as well - they can upload invoices and receipts from their phone and comment what the cost was about. It will be linked to the right line-item and I can then approve it for payment. No more back and forth emails to find out what was behind the cost.

The subcontractors save time as well. They don’t have to send separate files to me. Progress reports, invoices and extra works are all managed through Fizure. Without them having to even create an account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planyard?

It’s a minor thing and maybe not relevant for others but it would be nice if Fizure could sort contracts by their name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planyard solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest benefit is not having to deal with folders and separate files that might get lost somewhere. Everything is kept in one place.

This gives a real-time overview of the budget. I can see what’s behind a line-item - which contract is connected to it, how much of the job has been done and paid etc. The numbers are always up to date as every uploaded cost, contract or progress report modifies the budget as well.
