Why The Matrix

Scheduling, the easy way.

Build the project schedule in a way you have never done before: describe the work once, and let The Matrix do the rest.

¼

Of the usual time

Build even complex programmes in about a quarter of the time it takes to create them by hand in Primavera P6.

By hand in P6
With The Matrix

Easy as never before

Build your schedule as if it were one room, or one section of road, as a simple template. The Matrix repeats it across every block, floor or zone, with the logic and resources already in place.

The whole team builds it

Civil, MEP and finishing engineers can work on the schedule at the same time. They don't need to be planners.

See it before you import it

Preview the whole schedule, with its activities, logic, resources and quality score, before it ever reaches Primavera P6. No surprises after import.

What you get

Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Every location, its own work

Switch activity types on or off for each location, so a basement, a typical floor and the roof each get exactly the work they need.

Buildings, roads and networks

A room, a floor, a villa or a kilometre of road: if the work repeats, The Matrix can build it, at any scale.

Resources loaded as you build

Assign labour, plant and materials in the template, then adjust them per location from simple sheets.

Quality checked at the source

A schedule-quality check runs before the XER is written, so problems are fixed before anyone sees them.

Excel in, nothing new to learn

Your team describes the work in a familiar Excel workbook. No new software to master, no P6 licence needed to contribute.

XER out, straight into P6

The result is a standard XER file that imports into Primavera P6 like any other schedule, ready to baseline.

Then check it

Build it with The Matrix. Check it with DatumLens.

Each tool works on its own, and the XER file is the common language. Generate the programme, then open it in DatumLens for a full quality score before it goes to the client.

  • Same XER file, no conversion
  • Quality score before submission
  • Save with the Planner Bundle
How it works

Three steps to your first result.

01

Describe the FRAGNET

List the activity types for one location, with their durations and the logic between them.

02

List the locations

Add the blocks, floors or zones, and mark which activity types apply where.

03

Generate the XER

The Matrix checks the quality, builds every activity and relationship, and writes a file for P6.

Questions

Good to know.

More answers in the help centre

What is a FRAGNET?
The template schedule for one location: the activity types with their durations and logic, and no location. The Matrix repeats it across the locations you list.
Do I need Excel?
Yes. You describe the work in an Excel workbook, which keeps the input familiar and easy to review. The Matrix does the building.
Which format does it produce?
A Primavera P6 XER file that you import into P6 in the usual way.
Is my project data uploaded?
No. The Matrix runs on your computer and your data stays there.
How is it licensed?
With a licence key per computer, monthly or yearly. See pricing.
