Planera

Planera (operating under planera.io) is the premier, enterprise-grade cloud-native construction scheduling platform, Critical Path Method (CPM) analytics pioneer, and visual workflow orchestration powerhouse engineered to operate as the definitive, high-velocity project alignment, risk quantification, and collaborative execution layer for general contractors, sub-contractors, and enterprise owners across North America. The company completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of traditional construction project management—where complex field execution operations lose vital momentum to desktop-bound legacy software like Oracle Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project, multi-week scheduling compilation lag, broken office-to-field feedback loops, and unquantified resource bottle-necks—by deploying an advanced, multi-user visual canvas. Moving far beyond traditional, passive static Gantt chart templates or basic spreadsheet tracking, Planera natively unifies an intuitive digital whiteboard user interface, comprehensive enterprise CPM calculation logic (supporting all four dependency relationships, lead/lag configurations, and retained logic), real-time resource loading analytics, automated DCMA 14-point schedule health checks, and predictive Monte Carlo risk simulations into a single high-availability cloud-native core. Supercharged by its specialized AI scheduling assistant, Manny, the platform empowers estimators, pursuits teams, and field project managers to query complex schedules in plain natural language, auto-detect critical path anomalies, and instantly evaluate infinite \"what-if\" scenario models with production-hardened precision. Trusted by over 100 modern construction leaders and ENR top builders—including Balfour Beatty, HITT Contracting, Swinerton, and Big-D Construction—the system manages tens of millions of active scheduling days while providing seamless 1-click bi-directional integrations into industry-standard execution ecosystems like Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud. Backed by elite institutional venture capital including Sierra Ventures, Sorenson Capital, and Firebolt Ventures, the enterprise features a robust SOC 2 Type II compliance framework. What sets Planera apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing fragile, single-user legacy planning tools with absolute collaborative transparency and schedule velocity; by bridging the gap between performance-intensive structural data analytics and immediate, frontline operational alignment, the enterprise remains the definitive, category-defining cornerstone of modern algorithmic construction technology and enterprise-scale building architecture.
