Developing productivity improvement software for project management processes means having software development capabilities in the areas of process flow analysis, project organization, cost predictor and risk analysis models using recognized statistical methodologies and interface design.

Whether an extension of an existing custom software application or entirely new software, ACTIVPLAN can provide cost and time efficient solutions to custom software requirements.

Please contact us so we may discuss your software development needs.

Specific custom solutions have been developed including:

1. Time and cost estimating and risk analysis systems for project oriented manufacturers and engineering firms, incorporating “Rapid Quoting” principles as part of a Quick Response Manufacturing strategy;
   
   
2. Scheduling and material requirements planning systems for project oriented manufacturers;
   
   
3. Process planning and job cost and schedule performance tracking;
   
   
4. Material control systems including inventory and purchasing management for an engineer-to-order manufacturing environment.
   
   
5. To track and schedule projects many ACTIVPLAN customers use Microsoft Projectâ to setup their initial work plan and measure work progress. ACTIVPLAN estimating and planning systems are integrated with the Microsoft Projectâ system and automatically create the task list, including task work effort and duration, resource requirements and start or target dates in the Gantt Chart and Resource Sheet Views.
   
   
6. Microsoft Projectâ is integrated with ACTIVPLAN systems allowing the creation of shop routings, engineering work plans, and project schedules directly from the MS Projectâ plan.
   
   
7. ACTIVPLAN systems, being directly integrated with baseline work, costs and start and finish dates in MS Projectâ, create reports so that management can monitor project progress at the project, work breakdown structure and individual task levels.
   
   
8. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software customization and integrating, customizing and extending commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software products to meet customers' estimating and project management needs.
