ETRO Construction Modernizes Scheduling Without Legacy Friction

ETRO needed to modernize scheduling without forcing project teams to fight through legacy tools while the organization worked toward standard templates and processes. In the meantime, teams still needed a day-to-day workflow that was easy to adopt, encouraged consistent use, and improved transparency across the project. ETRO wanted a tool that reduced friction for project managers and coordinators, supported building lookaheads directly from the master schedule, and came with strong training so the transition felt manageable. The goal was standardization without slowdown.

Outbuild helped ETRO modernize scheduling with a simpler workflow that teams could adopt while standard templates and processes evolved.

• Easier day-to-day usability: A more intuitive interface reduces friction versus legacy tools, helping project teams keep the plan updated consistently.
• Master-to-lookahead connection: Lookaheads built from the master schedule keep near-term coordination aligned to contract milestones without duplicative work.
• Support-led rollout: Training and responsive support help teams transition smoothly, improving adoption across roles.

ETRO Construction described an easier transition away from legacy scheduling tools while still improving day-to-day transparency across projects. With a workflow that teams found simpler to use, project managers could keep plans current without slowing execution.

• Higher team usability: Easier day-to-day interaction supported more consistent updating, which helps prevent schedules from going stale mid-project.
• More transparent coordination: Better shared visibility reduced confusion across roles, supporting cleaner handoffs and fewer schedule-driven surprises.
• Smoother transition: Training and support helped reduce disruption during rollout, improving adoption while templates and standards evolved.
