Project Planning for Ridder iQ
Project-driven production is complex. It requires continuous coordination between engineering, procurement, production & assembly, and the necessary resources. If this process does not run optimally, delays in production and delivery times can occur. This costs money and damages customer confidence.

In project planning, you have continuous graphical insight into the progress of your phases, budgets, milestones, (sub)orders, the availability of materials, and the load on resources in your company. This is always in real-time. You always have the most up-to-date information. The planning is multi-user, allowing multiple people to plan simultaneously, unlike many other planning packages

Cost versus Progress
In Ridder iQ project planning, you immediately have insight into the progress of various project components and can make immediate adjustments.

Rough Planning versus Detailed Planning
In Ridder iQ Project Planning, you can quickly create rough planning at the departmental level during the quotation stage. This provides a clear insight into the impact of accepting a project on your current schedule. During the project, you can gradually change the rough planning into a detailed plan.
Material Status
Project-driven companies not only need insight into internal resources but also into your procurement and outsourcing. In Ridder iQ project planning, the material status is fully integrated. Through graphical icons, you can see at a high level in the planning whether material is being ordered late or received late. When you notice this, you can zoom in on the material status per project or for all projects to determine which materials are involved.
