Why do I need Hoylu if we are using Primavera P6?

Oracle Primavera P6 is an enterprise project portfolio management tool, whose use is often contractually required for generating critical path method (CPM) or master schedules. However, a CPM schedule will inevitably diverge from the actual schedule of work installation on site. CPM schedules do not reflect the progress of your project in real time, and can’t be relied upon for accurate forecasting. This is why leading contractors also use “pull” methods like the Last Planner System®, which incorporates granular scheduling information straight from the teams working on site. 

Will Hoylu make my project cost more?

Hoylu will save your project money. By enabling more accurate planning and task management, surfacing conflicts and constraints earlier, and facilitating efficient and effective replanning when needed, Hoylu protects your project from costly delays and rework.
