Planera, founded in 2021 and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, is a construction scheduling software company. The firm has raised $13.5 million in Series A funding. Its platform combines traditional Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling tools with modern digital whiteboard interfaces, enabling construction teams to collaboratively build and manage project schedules. The technical foundation includes real-time collaboration, resource loading, and risk simulation capabilities.
The company's products include a Collaborative Online Platform, designed to integrate functions comparable to systems like Oracle Primavera P6 with more intuitive visual tools for the construction lifecycle from pursuit through operations. It also offers "Manny," an AI-powered scheduling assistance product. As of early 2024, the platform has scheduled over 25 million days, with usage growing tenfold since the start of that year.
Planera focuses exclusively on the construction industry vertical. The software's core technical domains center on visual CPM-based scheduling and AI-driven tools aimed at modernizing project planning and management.
