Turn Raw Updates Into a Clear Story

Trends converts monthly updates into a simple view of how your schedule behaves over time.

  • See how SPI, Compression, Quality, and Delay move together.
  • Understand how each update changes the shape of your plan.
  • Compare performance between jobs or drill into one for detail.
  • Filter by trades, areas, or slices of work to isolate what matters.

 

Understand What Changed & Why

Once you see the timeline, you can understand the drivers behind it.

  • Identify rising trends and sudden shifts
  • Measure the ripple effect of plan changes, resequencing, or acceleration efforts
  • Spot patterns that signal risk before they reach your critical path or end date.

“SmartPM is really helping us find and deal with the flaws in our baseline schedules and weekly updated schedules. It is saving us a lot of time by providing a cheat sheet on any issues with the schedule and points us right to the issue at hand instead of having to go dig for it.”

“The integration between SmartPM and Procore is huge for us because we don’t have to reinvent the wheel. We just add SmartPM into our current process to supplement it rather than change it.”
