Integrated Project Controls Platform
Every EPCplanner module shares the same underlying relational database, WBS node structure, and reporting period architecture — eliminating data silos between disciplines.
Universal schedule intake supporting both XER file import and live database connections. EPCplanner connects directly to Oracle EPPM, SQL Server (P6 Professional), and Standalone SQLite databases — reading your existing schedule structure without modification.
After each update cycle, calculated physical percent complete values and remaining durations are pushed back into P6 activities, keeping your master schedule current without manual re-entry.
The Commercial Breakdown Structure (CBS) is the financial backbone of every EPCplanner project. Lump-sum price schedules and bill-of-quantities are imported and mapped to WBS nodes, creating explicit weight distributions for objective progress measurement.
Progress invoices are generated directly from certified CBS progress — eliminating the gap between schedule progress and commercial entitlement that plagues spreadsheet-based workflows.
The Engineering Register is EPCplanner's core differentiator. Every document is tracked through configurable stage gate templates — IFC, IFR, IFA, and custom stages — with mandatory gate rules and inter-discipline check (IDC) controls enforcing workflow compliance.
Physical progress is calculated algorithmically from actual stage completion, rolling up automatically from document level through discipline level to WBS activity level — eliminating subjective or politically influenced progress reporting.
Purchase Requisition (PR) registers link procurement milestones directly to WBS activities, enabling objective procurement progress to feed the master schedule. Structural business keys prevent duplication across update periods.
Subcontract deliverable frameworks track milestone payment events and physical completion across sub-tiers, with the same stage-gate and period-lock discipline applied to engineering registers.
Lookahead registers, multi-period trend analysis matrices, and behind-schedule identification metrics are generated automatically from register data — eliminating the need for separate forecast spreadsheets that drift from the actual register.
The forecasting engine identifies objectively late deliverables by comparing planned stage completion dates to remaining gate targets — producing accurate, defensible Earned Value and forecast metrics.
Multi-level S-curves, tabular distribution views, resource histograms, and dashboard panels are generated from live register data — not from manually maintained spreadsheets. All charts are period-aware, reflecting both current-period actuals and historical snapshots.
Reports are exportable as print-ready PDF, Excel, or HTML — formatted for client submission, PMR/MCR packages, and management review sessions.
Applied consistently across every module — not just reporting.
Closing a reporting window automatically freezes register states, S-curve points, and CBS variables — ready for delay analysis at any future date.
Prevents modifications or retroactive entries within closed cut-off periods from any account type, including system administrators.
A comprehensive registry tracking baseline modifications, permission changes, and document validation procedures with non-alterable timestamps.
The User Manual covers every module in detail — setup, operation, governance, and Management of Change.
