The PlanAutomate Foundation Includes:

Unified Schedule & Finance

Integrate the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with a dedicated Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS), ensuring your operational reality always matches your financial reporting.

Real-Time Financial Control

Move beyond month-end surprises. Utilize embedded Estimate at Completion (EAC) forecasting and real-time variance analysis to spot margin fade weeks before it becomes critical.

Single Source of Truth

Optionally replace disconnected tools (like Primavera P6 or MS Project standalone) with a single, high-performance scheduling engine that lives inside Dynamics 365. When dates shift, you know about it in real time.
