Planera is a construction project scheduling platform that combines the depth of Oracle P6 with the simplicity of Excel to help teams create and manage project schedules. Users can load labor and equipment, and view schedules through an intuitive Gantt chart with Critical Path analysis, capable of handling large and complex projects with flexible coding. It enables simultaneous, real-time collaboration so the entire team can work on the same project, reducing guesswork and costly mistakes.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- October 7, 2025 funding added $8 million, bringing total backing to $26.5 million.
- Planera's April 2026 product cadence added Inspect Path controls and schedule-analysis improvements.
- Zachry Construction selected Planera on May 21, 2025 to optimize resource scheduling.
What critics are saying
- Oracle Primavera P6 still dominates complex scheduling, trapping buyers in incumbent procurement cycles.
- Construction software sales stay slow, and one enterprise rollout can consume multiple quarters.
- If Autodesk ships native scheduling depth, Planera becomes a thin interface.
What makes Planera unique
- Manny launched April 15, 2026, turning CPM schedules into natural-language scenario engines.
- Planera's Autodesk Construction Cloud integration, updated October 30, 2025, embeds scheduling inside existing workflows.
- Major customers include Balfour Beatty, Skanska, HITT, Ryan Companies, and Zachry Construction.
