After reviewing the options, we ultimately chose Planyard, and we have now been using it for nearly a year. I recognise that we are not yet using all the available features, but that is mainly due to our own internal processes rather than any limitation of the software. One of the key things that stood out during the demonstrations was how easy the budget screen is to understand. For a UK construction business, handling CIS deductions correctly was a major consideration for us. In Xero, labour needs to be coded as CIS labour for HMRC purposes, but we also wanted to track labour costs against specific budget categories such as demolition, internal walls, groundworks, etc. Planyard allows us to do exactly that. The labour cost can be allocated to the correct project budget category, while on the Xero side it can still be coded as CIS labour for HMRC compliance, with the CIS tax deduction handled in Xero. This was a big win for us. Another feature I really appreciate is how Purchase Orders link directly to the committed cost column in the budget. This means that even before the invoice arrives, we already know how much of the budget has been committed and how much remains available for each element of the project. With Xero, raising a purchase order was easy, but it didn’t properly handle part-invoicing against a PO. We had to manually calculate and adjust the remaining balance ourselves. In Planyard, this is handled automatically, which saves a lot of time and eliminates errors. The RFQ feature is also heavily used and loved by our project manager. It allows us to compare quotes side by side and against the target budget. It even shows how much profit we would make depending on which supplier or subcontractor we choose before committing to the price. Once a preferred supplier is selected, the quote can be converted into a Purchase Order with one click, meaning there is no need to re-enter the same information twice. Another feature I find incredibly valuable is the ability to leave comments directly on budget lines. Team members can ask questions, leave notes, and reply within the system. This keeps all discussions tied to the specific cost line. Instead of long email threads where explanations get lost after a few weeks, everything remains documented and easily accessible. One of the biggest operational improvements for us has been reducing the number of spreadsheets that different stakeholders were maintaining separately. Previously, various team members had their own tracking spreadsheets, which often led to inconsistencies and confusion. With Planyard, everyone is now looking at the same set of data, but using it for different purposes — whether that’s QS budget control, project management decisions, or finance reporting. Creating payment applications in Planyard is also extremely straightforward. It automatically shows both the remaining budget on the cost side and the remaining amount that can be claimed from the client, which makes managing valuations and forecasting much clearer. Finally, I have to highlight the customer support team, which has been excellent. Whenever we get stuck, the response time is very quick, and we can usually arrange a follow-up meeting or call within a few days. We have also raised a few limitations we encountered while using the software. What has been refreshing is that the Planyard team genuinely listens to feedback and is actively developing additional features based on our needs. In a previous company, we implemented another system where the developers promised everything could be tailored to us. However, once we started rolling it out, we were left with workarounds and a messy setup that never truly fit our business. Our experience with Planyard has been the complete opposite. They promise improvements and actually deliver them. And when something is not fully there yet, they are clearly working hard to make it happen. > > **Cons**: The Work Orders feature is still a bit clunky at the moment. However, the developers are actively working on improvements based on user feedback, so I’m confident it will become a much stronger feature in the near future. > > Overall, Planyard has been a game changer for both our Quantity Surveying and Finance teams, and we are very happy with our decision to implement it. ----- ### "Four clicks to a cost report, and the whole team picked it up in a week" — 5.0/5 > **Gareth** | *07 October 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The simplicity. Our old system needed a full page of handwritten steps to raise a subcontractor order and the same again for a cost report. It froze, it took an age to load the next page, and if something went wrong you'd lost half a day. On Planyard my cost report is four clicks and it's all on one screen. Purchase orders, subcontractor payments and cost reporting sit in one place instead of three or four, and I get the same commercial output I always needed without clicking all over the place to do one action. The learning curve is short. When you first sit down you think there's a lot to take in, then you start doing it and it just goes in. New QSs need a couple of goes at uploading a payment or raising an order and they're away. We migrated all our ongoing projects in about a week, and most of that was us working out the best way to bring the historic figures across rather than fighting the software. Support is a hundred times better than what we had. \[sensitive content hidden\] set the foundations and has answered everything since. When we've asked for something to suit how we work, they've listened and done it. > > **Cons**: Very little. Costs are allocated by invoice date, so a late-dated invoice can land in a month we've already reported. A brought-forward figure on the cost report would be a nice addition. I'd also like the option to issue a payment notice without the subcontractor having to accept it first. Neither has slowed us down. The bigger gap was on our side: we'd only scratched the surface of what it can do, and the Planyard team has since walked us through the rest. > > Planyard is a great tool for our cost management, assisting with budget tracking, and subcontract account management whilst integrating with our accounting software. It is quick, easy and a pleasure to use. ----- ### "A good construction costing solution with a great customer support" — 4.0/5 > **Carlos** | *22 November 2021* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It´s an easy-to-use software and provides a clear control of your budget and linking to Xero will allow your accounting to be synchronized with the projects. With recent developments and improved features, it´s easy now to place purchase orders, valuations and manage subcontractors. The invoices upload and approval are accurate and intuitive and as soon as approved the documents are automatically sent to Xero. The Fizure team has been quite remarkable in listening to and improving the product in near real-time in response to feedback from myself and the entire team involved. Super helpful and qualified support team. > > **Cons**: The consolidation of information, namely the costs invoiced and incurred could be better, but it seems that improving this functionality is already on its roadmap. > > With Planyard we found a good solution for submitting quotes, evaluating and comparing prices, placing orders and tracking progress on screen and through reports. It is an excellent tool for cost control and now we can recognize the resources spent, assess the remaining resources and costs and identify the potential deviations. Planyard has become an important tool to manage our projects and to provide information in time to our company's board. ----- ### "Real-time financial visibility for our projects" — 5.0/5 > **Ren** | *01 October 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Visibility from one screen. I can see everything from a purchase order being raised through to supplier and subcontractor payments, retention and sales invoices at a glance, and the numbers are today's. > > **Cons**: Only small things. Retention releases don't yet link through to Xero, so that's a manual entry for now. I'd like the payment date shown on payment notices, and a short note when updates are applied so we know what's new. All of these have been raised with the Planyard team and taken on board. > > Migration was easier than we feared. We moved all our live projects across at once, about a week including the historic cost-to-date figures, and when we hit a snag on retention and discount deductions from the old system, our account manager went away and came back with a working solution. Overall great support, proven time and cost saving, easy to use, flexible and able to grow as we do and we now see real numbers in real time. ----- ### "Everything a QS needs without overcomplicating it" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *01 March 2026* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Planyard gives me the processes of a massive ERP, but the whole setup took a few days just by myself. It links perfectly with Xero and simplifies our purchase orders without complicating anything. I used to work for a UK Tier 1 company and am familiar with complex ERPs that required five professionals just to process a purchase order. When I moved to an SME in Australia, I wanted the same budget processes, but not an ERP. > > **Cons**: Because I started using planyard a few months through the financial year, I had to manually calculate and input our cost-to-date from our old Xero tracking categories. Fortunately, the system made this manual entry very simple. There is nothing really that I dislike, to be honest. It does exactly what it says on the tin. > > Very good. I have frequent meetings with the developers and they are extremely responsive to requests for information and suggested upgrades to the system. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/119771/fizure?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/119771/fizure) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
