Case Study: IPS-Integrated Project Services, LLC achieves clarity, team alignment and major time savings with Touchplan

Touchplan Delivers Clarity & Alignment on Greenfield Facility Build

IPS-Integrated Project Services, LLC was tasked with building a 74,000 SF greenfield facility adjacent to an existing building, requiring floor tie‑ins, extensive prefabrication, and coordination with two A&E firms. The project was in conceptual design and the IPS design group was new to the Last Planner System®, creating transparency and alignment challenges and initial resistance to digital planning until the team adopted Touchplan.

Touchplan delivered a visual, online planning platform that made the Last Planner System easier to implement, exposed hand‑offs and ripple effects between commitments, and enabled remote participation and quick realignment. Using Touchplan, the team could move large trains of work instantly (e.g., 150 activities in 30 seconds), cut a project leader’s weekly workload from five days to two, save tens of hours annually, eliminate repetitive data entry, and significantly improve onsite transparency and team alignment.
