Project Management Software Built for Industrial and EPC Projects, Not Generic Task Boards
Our project management solution brings planning, engineering document control, procurement and contractor tracking, site progress, commissioning, and cost control into one connected system -- built for how industrial and EPC projects actually run, from greenfield plant construction to brownfield upgrades, not a generic task-and-checklist tool repurposed for a plant project.
The Problem: Where Generic Project Tools Fall Short on Industrial & EPC Projects
Industrial and EPC projects run into the same walls when they're managed on generic tools built for office task tracking, not multi-contractor plant projects:
Project schedules built in a spreadsheet or generic task tool that doesn't reflect real engineering, procurement, and construction dependencies
Engineering drawings and documents revised across email threads, with no single, current version anyone can actually trust
Contractor and vendor delivery schedules tracked separately from the master project schedule, so a delayed shipment surfaces as a surprise instead of a flagged risk
Site progress reported on paper daily-progress-report formats that take days to reach anyone who can act on them
Commissioning and handover managed through punch lists in spreadsheets, disconnected from the as-built documentation they refer to
Cost overruns and change orders discovered at month-end reconciliation instead of as they happen
Multiple contractors, consultants, and internal teams each working off their own version of the schedule, with no shared source of truth
None of this is a shortage of project management effort -- it's a shortage of one connected system that reflects what's actually happening across engineering, procurement, and the site.
Key Modules & Features
An industrial project management solution earns its keep module by module -- each one solving a specific coordination gap between engineering, procurement, the site, and the client, sharing one project record instead of several disconnected trackers.
Project Planning & Scheduling
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) covering EPCC phases, critical path mapping across disciplines, baseline vs. current schedule tracking, and resource allocation.
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) covering Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) phases, not a single flat task list- Critical path and dependency mapping across disciplines, so a delay in one workstream shows its real downstream impact
- Baseline vs. current schedule tracking, with full revision history instead of an overwritten plan
- Resource and contractor allocation planning across concurrent work fronts
Engineering Document Control
Centralized drawing and document repository with revision control, transmittal and approval workflows, and a complete audit trail.
- Centralized drawing and document repository with revision control, so every stakeholder works off the current version
- Transmittal and approval workflows for drawings, technical queries, and design changes
- Document status tracking -- for review, approved, superseded -- visible to every contractor and consultant on the project
- Full audit trail of who approved what, and when
Procurement & Contractor Tracking
Vendor and contractor delivery schedules linked directly to the master project schedule, with automatic delay warnings.
- Vendor and contractor delivery schedules linked directly to the master project schedule, not tracked separately
- Purchase order and expediting status visible against planned delivery dates
- Contractor mobilization, manpower, and progress tracking per work front
- Automatic flagging when a procurement or contractor delay threatens a downstream milestone
Site Progress & Field Reporting
Digital daily progress reports replacing paper formats, S-curve tracking, and photo/checklist field reporting tied to work packages.
- Digital daily progress reports replacing paper formats, submitted from site and visible immediately
- Physical progress tracking (percentage complete) against planned S-curves, by work front and discipline
- Photo and checklist-based field reporting tied to specific work packages
- Weather, safety, and manpower logs captured alongside progress data, instead of in a separate register
Commissioning & Handover Management
Digital punch lists, pre-commissioning checklists, and as-built documentation compiled directly from the same project record.
- Digital punch lists tracked to closure, tied to the specific system, equipment, or work package they belong to
- Pre-commissioning and commissioning checklists configurable per system or discipline
- As-built documentation and handover packages compiled directly from the same project record, not reassembled from scratch at project close
- Structured handover to operations, with outstanding items tracked rather than lost in a final punch-list PDF
Cost & Budget Tracking
Budgeted vs. committed vs. actual cost tracking, change order and variation management, and real-time cost forecasting.
- Budgeted vs. committed vs. actual cost tracking, down to the work package or cost code
- Change order and variation management, with approval workflows and cost impact visible before approval, not after
- Cash flow and cost forecasting against the project schedule
- Cost exposure by contractor, discipline, or phase, visible in real time rather than at month-end
Risk & Issue Management
Risk register with mitigation ownership, site issue escalation workflows, and interface management between contractors.
- Risk register with likelihood, impact, and mitigation ownership tracked per risk
- Issue tracking and escalation workflows, so a site issue reaches the right decision-maker without waiting for the next review meeting
- Interface management between contractors and disciplines, flagging dependencies that fall through the cracks between two work fronts
- Lessons-learned capture tied to specific project phases, for the next project rather than lost after this one closes
Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration
Role-based access and approval hierarchies for internal teams, EPC contractors, consultants, and clients on one platform.
- Role-based access for internal teams, EPC contractors, consultants, and the client, all working off the same project record
- Configurable approval hierarchies matching your actual sign-off structure, not a fixed chain
- Shared visibility into schedule, documents, and progress without every stakeholder needing their own separate tracking system
- Notification and workflow routing so the right update reaches the right person automatically
Reporting & Executive Dashboards
Project health, portfolio S-curves, drill-down analytics, and exportable reports for clients, boards, and lenders.
- Project health dashboards -- schedule, cost, and progress variance -- for project managers and site teams
- Executive-level S-curve, milestone, and portfolio dashboards for leadership tracking multiple projects at once
- Drill-down from a summary KPI to the specific work package, contractor, or document behind it
- Exportable reports for client reviews, board updates, and lender or investor reporting on project progress
Why a Purpose-Built Industrial Project Management Solution, Not a Generic One
Built around EPCC project structure -- engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning phases -- rather than a generic task-and-checklist tool adapted for a plant project
Uses the same digital forms, checklists, and workflow automation engine already proven on the EpsumThings platform for site and commissioning reporting, instead of a disconnected paper-based process
Structured for multi-contractor, multi-discipline coordination, where a generic project tool typically assumes one team working off one plan
Our Process
How It Works
Project Structure & WBS Setup
defining the EPCC breakdown, disciplines, and work fronts specific to your project, before any tracking begins.
Baseline Schedule & Budget Definition
establishing the baseline schedule, cost codes, and budget against which all future progress is measured.
Contractor & Stakeholder Onboarding
bringing EPC contractors, consultants, and internal teams onto the platform with role-based access.
Field & Document Workflow Configuration
setting up daily progress reporting, document transmittal, and commissioning checklist workflows to match your project's actual processes.
Go-Live & Progress Tracking
tracking schedule, cost, and physical progress against baseline from mobilization through commissioning.
Handover & Project Close-Out
compiling as-built documentation, closing out punch lists, and structuring handover to operations.
Key Benefits
One connected system for schedule, documents, procurement, site progress, cost, and commissioning, instead of five disconnected trackers.
Delays visible as they emerge -- through linked contractor and procurement schedules -- instead of discovered at the next review meeting.
Faster, more accurate site reporting, replacing paper daily-progress-report formats.
Full document and revision control, so every stakeholder works off the current drawing or specification.
Structured commissioning and handover, with punch lists tracked to closure instead of lost in a final PDF.
Real-time cost and change-order visibility instead of month-end surprises.
One shared source of truth across internal teams, EPC contractors, and consultants.
Industries We Serve
Industrial project management earns its keep on any greenfield or brownfield project with multiple contractors, disciplines, and work fronts to coordinate: new plant construction and capacity expansion across steel, cement, power, and aluminium; SCADA, automation, and utility upgrade projects run alongside live operations; and multi-vendor EPC projects across process, utility & infra, and mining operations. If a project's real status depends on today's phone calls and yesterday's spreadsheet rather than one shared record, this is built for that gap.
