SCHEDULE CONTROLS AUTOMATION

Schedule Updater: update once, and the review comes back with it.

Enter progress in a working copy of your XER schedule. Your scheduler reviews it and exports a clean XER for the next update.

No card to start.

Focused Capabilities

What you get every week

Priority Action Plan

See the activities and handoffs most likely to affect phase this week.

Float Path Visibility

Spot near-driving work with no room to slip before a shortfall becomes a delay narrative.

Phase Readiness

See which phase paths gained or lost float and where risk is accumulating.

Driver Detection

Rank trade and activity drivers by phase impact, then show how the impact propagated through the schedule.

Shared Schedule Workspace

Supers and project controls read the same analysed update, its history and the Network Diagram into each milestone, with one active XER per data date.

Controls

Controls is included with Operations.

There is no separate Controls SKU. The float math is calculated from the schedule; AI drafts only the narrative wording, for your scheduler to review.

The questions an update review has to answer

  1. 01What changed since the last update?
  2. 02Is the schedule improving or just being resequenced?
  3. 03Did recovery reduce real risk, or only make the forecast look better?
  4. 04Which activities, handoffs, logic changes, and float movements explain the trend?
  5. 05What should the narrative say about this update?
Update Review
Lists the activities added and deleted between the two updates, with every logic and duration edit.
Health Score
Runs the DCMA 14-point checks on every update, each with the value found and the target, and rolls them into one weighted score across seven dimensions: logic integrity, execution reliability, phase reliability, coordination health, forecast stability, operational pressure, unique activity names.
Schedule Narrative
Drafted from the same comparison and the score drivers. Your scheduler edits it before it goes to the owner.

Sample Schedule Narrative

Draft for review

Update 05, data date 2026-06-01

17 CD later

Electrical Rough-In (M5040) went from 35 to 47 working days with zero total float. Substantial Completion moved from 2027-02-02 to 2027-02-19.

Update 06, data date 2026-07-06

11 CD recovered

Drywall, Tape and Paint (I6020) went from 25 to 20 working days and Acoustical Ceilings (I6030) from 15 to 12. Substantial Completion came back to 2027-02-08.

Included with the Enterprise Plan

One subscription. Three workspaces that feed each other.

The same analysed schedule drives all three, so a delay you find in one is already priced in the next. Nothing is exported, re-imported or reconciled by hand.

The Enterprise Plan includes Operations, Controls and Delay Analyzer in one organization subscription. See what the Enterprise Plan includes.

Each finding traces back to the schedule export it came from.

When the update history cannot tie a day of movement to a party, Pathizer leaves that day unattributed. It does not split the day pro rata or round it into the largest share.

Pricing

Pricing details live in one place.

60-day pilot on your own projects: Operations, Controls and Delay Analyzer included. No card to start, up to 10,000 activities.

We estimate each scheduler can handle ~50,000 activities with Pathizer Enterprise.

Estimate only, before taxes or account adjustments. You see your exact price before you subscribe.

How the price is worked out
  • The price is $250 a month for every 2,500 activities.
  • Activities from all your projects are added into one count for your organization, then rounded up to whole blocks of 2,500.
  • Volume discounts (already in the price above):
    • The first 50,000 activities: the standard rate.
    • Activities above 50,000 up to 100,000: 10% off.
    • Activities above 100,000: 20% off.

    Each discount applies only to the activities inside its own band, not to your whole count.

  • Each project counts at its latest accepted schedule for 30 days after that upload. When your count goes up, the increase is charged right away, prorated for the rest of the billing period. When a project's 30 days end, it drops out and the difference is credited on your next invoice.
