Dependencies live outside the plan
Material, drawing and client approvals sit in separate trackers. An activity reaches its planned start date without a workable front.
EPC project planning and scheduling software
Connect the project schedule with live site dependencies
Built for planning engineers, project managers and project directors. Relate the WBS baseline to current progress, materials, approvals, subcontract dependencies and corrective actions while retaining professional scheduling judgement.

What is epc project planning and scheduling software? EPC project planning and scheduling software connects the work breakdown structure (WBS), activities, milestones, owners and dependencies with live execution records. It helps teams compare planned and actual progress and expose material, approval or subcontract constraints; specialist planning logic and forecasts remain the planner’s responsibility.
The operational problem
A valid schedule can still describe an unready site
Progress has no consistent basis
Teams report percentages through calls and presentations without activity-level quantities or evidence. Planned-versus-actual views become difficult to trust.
Delay reasons are not assigned
Slippage is visible, but the cause, responsible owner and recovery action are absent. The same blocker returns in the next review.
Connected EPC records
Connect schedule dates with execution readiness
Activities retain their owners and dependencies while current records show whether materials, approvals, subcontractors and site progress support the plan. The result is an operating view beside—not a substitute for—the specialist schedule.

Core capabilities
Controls your team can evaluate in a demo
WBS planning
Structure activities under controlled project and work-package context. Keep reporting aligned to how delivery responsibility is organised.
Dates and owners
Record planned start, finish and accountable roles. Make late handoffs and unowned work visible.
Dependencies
Relate predecessor work and configured operational dependencies. Explain why a workfront is not ready beyond a date alone.
Progress updates
Connect approved activity updates with quantities, DPRs or supporting records. Improve the basis for planned-versus-actual review.
Delay reasons
Record the stated reason, impact and responsible follow-up. Preserve context for later management and claim review.
Corrective actions
Assign actions and target dates against identified constraints. Keep recovery work visible until resolved.
Schedule-risk views
Bring delayed activities and missing readiness records into focused views. Let planners investigate before updating forecasts.
Product walkthrough
Review planned and actual progress with context
The dashboard highlights variance; planners still validate logic, causes and forecast impact using professional judgement.
- 1Baseline dates anchor comparison
- 2Actual updates need evidence
- 3Dependencies explain readiness
Operational takeawayThe view gives authorised teams a shared record for the next decision; it does not replace physical verification or professional judgement.

Buyer questions
EPC project planning and scheduling software FAQs
What is EPC project planning and scheduling software?
It connects WBS activities, milestones, owners and dependencies with progress and operational readiness records for planned-versus-actual control.
Does Supista replace specialist scheduling software?
No. It provides connected operational context. Detailed scheduling logic, critical-path analysis and professional forecasts remain with the project’s planning approach and qualified users.
Can activities show material and approval dependencies?
Yes. Supported configurations can relate upcoming activities to available material, purchase, approval and subcontract readiness records.
Can actual progress be linked to DPRs?
Where configured, activity progress can reference Daily Project Report entries, quantities and evidence so reviewers can inspect the reporting basis.
Can delay reasons and corrective actions be tracked?
Yes. Teams can record delay context, responsible owners, target dates and follow-up actions within the project workflow.
How does Lois assess schedule risk?
Lois summarises permitted dates, progress and dependency records. A planner must review the result; Lois does not bypass controls or make professional scheduling decisions.
