Documentation and support

EPCplanner supports XER file import (compatible with all major project scheduling platforms that export XER format), as well as direct database connections to Oracle EPPM and SQL Server deployments of enterprise scheduling software. A standalone SQLite database connection is also supported for simpler environments.

No. EPCplanner is a native desktop application designed for offline and LAN operation. All core functions, including register updates, progress entry, CBS calculation and report generation, operate without internet connectivity. Network access is only required when synchronising with a live scheduling platform database.

EPCplanner is built with .NET MAUI and targets Windows, Android and iOS. The primary deployment environment is Windows desktop. Mobile applications provide field review and progress entry capability.

Yes, in a LAN server deployment with a shared SQL Server database. Each user connects to the central project database, and role-based access controls determine what each user can view and modify. In standalone mode, the database is single-user.

Once a reporting period is closed with a cut-off date, Freeze Guard prevents any modification to data within that period. This applies to all user accounts including project administrators. Register states, CBS figures, S-curve data points and all other period data are permanently locked. This ensures that historical data used in delay analysis or payment disputes reflects exactly what was recorded at the time.

Progress is calculated by weighting individual deliverable completion against their Commercial Breakdown Structure (CBS) value. Each deliverable in a register carries a weight derived from its price schedule allocation. Certified completion of a deliverable contributes proportionally to the weighted progress of its WBS node, discipline and the overall project. This method eliminates subjective estimates and ties progress directly to commercial entitlement.

Yes. EPCplanner is currently in its pilot phase with selected organisations. Contact us to discuss a pilot deployment for your project or organisation.
