Engineering
projects are too complex to run on spreadsheets
cplace is an AI-powered manufacturing project management software that adapts to how your engineering teams actually work. Connect your R&D, design, procurement, production, and commissioning teams on one real-time data foundation, get real-time visibility across all active projects, and give your program managers the tools they need to keep complex, multi-discipline programs on track. This is adaptive portfolio intelligence for enterprises.

When complexity outpaces your tools
Technical complexity across multiple engineering disciplines
Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and software teams all in parallel. One coordination gap and the schedule starts slipping.
Change management that
cascades across the entire program
A late design change does not stay contained. It hits timelines, materials, and production capacity all at once.
Resource and capacity
planning across parallel projects
Same engineers, multiple programs. Capacity conflicts show up on status reports after the schedule has already slipped.
Supply chain dependencies and long lead times
Procurement milestones not integrated into your project plan means one late part becomes a late delivery.
Quality gates and product readiness
Quality gaps in complex machines show up at commissioning. That is the worst time to find them.
No single source of truth across engineering, procurement, and production
Five systems, five versions of the truth. By the time someone pulls it together, the data is already outdated.
One platform for every engineering project and production program
Built for how your
teams actually work
teams actually work
cplace is the manufacturing project management software that adapts to how your engineering organization actually works. Every capability runs on a shared real-time data foundation. AI is not a layer on top; it is part of the platform from day one.
One source of truth across engineering,
procurement, and production
cplace consolidates data from design, work preparation, procurement, manufacturing, and commissioning into one connected platform. Every stakeholder from the shop floor to the C-suite works from the same real-time information. No stale exports, no version conflicts, no reconciliation meetings before a project review.
Multi-project scheduling built for industrial complexity
Large, complex engineering projects are broken into manageable sub-plans and distributed to the responsible teams across disciplines and sites. Dependencies between mechanical, electrical, and software workstreams are mapped and tracked in real time. When one workstream shifts, the impact on every connected plan is immediately visible.
Change request management tied to your project plan
When a customer requests a change or a supplier delivers late, the impact does not stay contained. cplace tracks change requests directly against your active project plan, maps the downstream effects on timelines and material requirements, and gives program managers the visibility they need to make fast, informed decisions.
Resource and capacity planning across parallel programs
cplace gives program and resource managers a real-time view of engineering capacity across all active projects. Identify bottlenecks before they impact delivery timelines, reallocate specialists based on skills and availability, and run what-if analyses across your full project portfolio. cplace AI flags capacity conflicts in advance.
Supplier and partner collaboration without data silos
cplace connects your internal engineering teams with external suppliers, subcontractors, and technology partners in a shared planning environment. Project data, delivery milestones, and technical dependencies are synchronized in real time. Each partner sees exactly what they need to see, nothing more.
No more Excel
cplace replaces the spreadsheet landscape and fragmented point solutions that still run too many manufacturing programs. One connected platform eliminates redundant data maintenance, reduces error rates, and gives your program leadership decisions they can trust. cplace AI generates project status reports automatically.

AI built for the complexity of
industrial manufacturing programs
Built in. Not bolted on
cplace AI is built directly into the platform. It generates project status reports automatically, detects cascade risks across dependent programs, and gives your team the answers they need before problems escalate.
- ~70% less effort for engineering status reports and project follow-up
- Under 1 minute for a full cross-departmental capacity analysis
Teams can also build custom AI solutions directly inside the platform with cplace Citizen AI, no IT required. With the AI Builder, existing Excel-based engineering workflows transform into fully structured cplace applications automatically.
Connected to the systems your
Engineering teams already run on
Your engineering stack took decades to build. cplace fits right in. Out-of-the-box connectors and a No-Code and Low-Code integration layer mean no IT projects and no disruption.
Any System: PLM platforms, ERP tools, engineering systems. If it is REST-capable, cplace connects to it.
Jira Connector: Link your embedded systems and software teams in Jira directly to program management in cplace. Bidirectional sync keeps planning and sprint execution aligned.
SAP Integration: Pull cost and resource data from SAP directly into cplace. Your program managers get a consistent view of financials and procurement status without switching systems.
Built for the scale and complexity of enterprise Manufacturing programs
Enterprise-wide PPM transformation
A world-leading high-tech manufacturing company implemented cplace to track key products and technologies across their full development lifecycle, from research through prototype to production planning. Executive decision-makers gained real-time orientation on new technologies and market requirements across the entire product portfolio, replacing a fragmented landscape of disconnected planning tools.
Multi-site engineering program management
A global engineering organization managing complex, multi-site development programs standardized on cplace as the central platform for connected schedule management. Cross-site dependencies became trackable in real-time, resource planning for engineering teams moved from reactive to proactive, and management gained a fact-based foundation for program decisions at every level.
Replacing Excel across a large
production organization
production organization
A large manufacturing company with thousands of project participants replaced a sprawling Excel and shadow IT landscape with cplace. Manual reporting overhead dropped significantly, data quality improved across all project levels, and program leadership gained the real-time visibility needed to make faster, better-informed decisions across a portfolio of parallel production programs.
cplace offers an enormous range of functionalities. Start small and grow gradually. The platform is that powerful.

Frequently asked questions
cplace addresses the primary challenges of industrial engineering programs: disconnected data across design, procurement, and production; resource bottlenecks across parallel projects; and the inability of most tools to adapt to your specific processes. It replaces fragmented tool landscapes and Excel dependencies with one connected platform that gives every stakeholder, from engineer to executive, the same real-time view.
cplace AI is built directly into the platform and works on your real-time project data. It automates status reporting, detects schedule risks and cascade effects across programs before they escalate, and identifies capacity conflicts in advance. With cplace Citizen AI, your teams build custom AI solutions without IT involvement. With the cplace AI Builder, existing Excel-based workflows are automatically transformed into fully structured cplace applications.
cplace tracks change requests directly against your active project plan. When a design change or supplier issue comes in, the downstream impact on timelines, material requirements, and capacity is immediately visible. Program managers get the information they need to make fast, informed decisions without manually re-consolidating data across systems.
