About Controls

Most tools show you what’s happening. SmartPM shows you why and what it means for time, cost, and risk.

With Controls, every update becomes a management tool.

  • Detect logic and sequencing errors before they create delay
  • Compare updates and automatically quantify delays and changes
  • Forecast completion and feasibility with predictive analytics
  • Generate executive-ready risk and performance reports in minutes
SmartPM controls dashboard showing charts for planned vs actual percent complete, SPI over time, and schedule changes over time.
