Bottom line
SmartPM is an automated project controls and schedule analytics platform for commercial construction. It ingests CPM schedule files (.xer, .xml, .mpp, .ppx), runs health and quality checks, and turns them into portfolio dashboards, a web Gantt and delay analysis. General contractors, owners and developers use it to catch critical-path risk early, cut outside delay-analysis consulting and shorten monthly schedule reviews from days to hours. Plans start at $12K/year with unlimited users.
Frequently asked questions
How much does SmartPM cost?
Published pricing has two plans. Essentials is $12K per year and covers up to 50 projects with unlimited users, automated schedule health checks, revision comparison and standard support. Controls is $25K per year for 5 advanced-analytics project slots (expandable), adding complete project analytics, an interactive Gantt, what-if and time impact analysis, and premium support with dedicated onboarding. Managed services are quoted add-ons, and SmartPM offers a 60-day risk-free trial.
How long does it take to get value from SmartPM?
SmartPM is cloud-based with no software installation. You upload existing schedule files and analytics appear within minutes, and one customer reports training junior schedulers in about three weeks instead of the three to four months it previously took to train a senior scheduler. Buyers can start with a demo using their own schedules, and the 60-day trial is designed to prove value on real projects.
Does SmartPM integrate with our existing tools?
SmartPM reads the schedule files your teams already produce — .xer, .xml, .mpp and .ppx — so you keep your existing CPM scheduling software. It also connects with Autodesk Forma (linking RFIs and submittals to the schedule) and Procore, and an Open API lets you push schedule data and metrics into BI tools, PMIS platforms, data warehouses and dashboards.
Is SmartPM secure and compliant?
SmartPM states SOC 2 Type I, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance on its security page, continuously monitors 100+ internal security controls, runs annual third-party network and application penetration tests, and encrypts data in transit with TLS and at rest. All employees complete annual security training, and security concerns are reported to [email protected].
Does SmartPM replace Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project?
No. SmartPM is an analytics and project controls layer that sits on top of the CPM scheduling tools you already use — it does not author schedules and it is not an estimating or accounting system. Customers describe adding it into their current process to add schedule intelligence rather than changing how schedules are built.
