Case Study: AMLI Residential improves scheduling collaboration and efficiency with Planera

Why AMLI Residential Ditched Microsoft Project for Planera

AMLI Residential, a major multifamily developer and general contractor, faced significant challenges with siloed and inefficient scheduling using Microsoft Project. Their processes were manual, information was fragmented across desktops, and field teams had limited visibility, which hampered collaboration. To overcome this, they sought a new solution and implemented Planera, a cloud-based construction scheduling platform.

By adopting Planera, AMLI gained a collaborative tool that enabled faster schedule creation and provided real-time visibility across all teams. The vendor's solution, which featured visual canvas-style scheduling and automated look-ahead reports, resulted in improved efficiency, strong buy-in from field staff, and a company-wide transition away from MS Project. The measurable impacts for AMLI included significant time savings for its project managers and the avoidance of costly schedule compression.
