A Tool That Teams Could Learn Quickly

Orion Building needed a scheduling workflow that teams could adopt quickly and use consistently across projects. When tools are hard to learn or feel disconnected from day-to-day work, collaboration drops and schedules become less reliable. Orion wanted a solution that made onboarding more efficient, helped more people contribute to the plan, and reduced time spent chasing updates. The priority was keeping everyone aligned on the current schedule so execution stayed predictable and teams could save time and resources as projects moved forward.

Collaborative Scheduling Built for Adoption

Outbuild helped Orion standardize a scheduling workflow that teams can learn quickly and maintain across projects without heavy training overhead.

  • Faster ramp for new users: An intuitive interface reduces onboarding time so more team members can contribute to schedule updates.
  • Centralized collaboration: One shared plan keeps field and office aligned, reducing the need to chase updates across tools.
  • Master and lookahead linkage: Connected planning horizons help teams keep near-term work tied to long-term milestones as projects evolve.

"Outbuild has been one of the best partner tools that Orion has implemented in the past 15 years. It has allowed for a collaborative environment for teams and given that the system is easy to use and learn, it makes the onboarding much more efficient."
