MainTasc® is a project management system which uses an integral multi-disciplinary approach to job preparation by linking available information from multiple disciplines. Below is a brief description of various disciplines involved in the preparation of a project.
Scope management
MainTasc® enables you to optimally manage the scope of your project. General and technical information about your total project is presented in a clear fashion.
Estimation and Budget
On the basis of scope and historical data, estimations can be performed in MainTasc®, to serve as input for establishing your budget. By refining the scope, estimations and budget can be adjusted easily.
Job description
MainTasc® makes it possible to clearly document scope in the form of job descriptions. With MainTasc®, you can continually compare the incurred costs with the project's budget and estimations, allowing you to accurately track costs, and to make timely adjustments when necessary.These can support the work of all disciplines (including departments, contractors or services) involved in the project. Concerns of safety, health and environment can also receive proper attention in the job descriptions.
Calculation
On the basis of these job descriptions, accurate work time calculations can be made, in terms of hours. These calculations serve as the basis for resource planning and/or cost calculation.
Materials management
Materials can be extracted by scope-item. Reports provide clear insight into ordered and still to order materials. Materials stocks and usage can be fully documented in MainTasc®. Insight into costs can be achieved by collecting data from offers and proposals, and also by using the time calculations in combination with established fees.

Scheduling
Through multidisciplinary preparation, a large part of the schedule can be achieved at an early stage by job planners, enabling the project planners to schedulers proceed more quickly and easily. By entering relationships and assigning resource requirements (people and/or equipment and materials), an early fundament is laid in MainTasc® for integral schedule by means of schedule charts. Full integration with the schedule systems Primavera®, Microsoft® Project and Open Plan® also contributes to the availability of required information without the need for complex procedures; information from MainTasc® is available in the desired schedule system at the press of a button, and vice versa.
Conclusion
By managing the scope clearly and efficiently in a central database, MainTasc® creates a transparent structure which is accessible for everyone involved. It provides you with a better grip on the content and progress of your projects, and costs can be managed more efficiently.
