Project controls, reimagined

Enterprise scheduling.
Without the enterprise software.

Cronova brings DOT-grade critical-path scheduling, spreadsheet-style grids, Kanban boards and boardroom-grade analytics into one fast web app — with Primavera XER interoperability, real-time collaboration and AI-drafted narrative submittals built from your real schedule.

Everything project controls needs — in one place

Stop stitching together a scheduler, a spreadsheet, a BI tool and a whiteboard. Cronova does all four, and they share one source of truth.

Critical-Path Scheduling

A real CPM engine — forward/backward pass, total and free float, FS/SS/FF/SF relationships with lag, retained-logic out-of-sequence progress and a longest-path filter. Project-specific multi-calendars, WBS hierarchy with phase rollups, and no silent resource leveling — built to satisfy the strictest DOT CPM specs.

🏛

DOT-Grade Compliance

Engineered against real Florida DOT contract requirements: retained logic, free + total float per activity, longest-path isolation, project-only calendars, notebook logs and "Removed" activities with actuals. The exact feature surface GC schedulers are legally required to produce.

🔄

Primavera XER Interoperability

Import and export native .XER files for true round-trip with Primavera P6. Bring legacy schedules in, hand compliant updates back to owners and agencies — no re-keying, no lock-in.

📋

Spreadsheet-Style Grid

An editable activity table with durations, predecessors, % complete, actual start/finish, activity codes and resources. Change a duration and the whole schedule re-plans instantly.

🗂

Kanban Boards

Drag activities across To Do / In Progress / Review / Done. Status stays in sync with the schedule and dashboards — one click, no double entry.

📊

Earned-Value Dashboards

SPI / CPI / EAC, planned-vs-earned S-curves, cost-by-phase and resource histograms with over-allocation flags — plus probability-based risk insights and custom, scheduled reports. Computed live from the schedule — no separate BI tool or exports required.

👷

Field & Construction

3-week lookaheads, daily logs, RFIs, submittals, change orders and punch lists — all linked to the schedule and feeding the dashboard.

AI Assistant

Describe a project and Cronova builds the schedule. Ask for a KPI dashboard and it assembles one — or have it draft your narrative submittal. Powered by Claude on Business plans.

Auto-generated reports

Your whole submittal, drafted in minutes

Cronova assembles a complete first draft from your live schedule — branded cover, scope prose, key dates, an update-over-update comparison, calendars and Gantt appendices — and renders it to a polished PDF. AI writes the prose grounded in your real numbers so it can't invent dates; you review, refine the wording and submit. Upload an example and it matches your agency's structure and voice.

  • A full FDOT-style draft, generated from the schedule itself
  • Update-over-update comparison against any prior submittal
  • Editable preview — refine the prose, then export the final PDF
  • Longest-path & look-ahead Gantt appendices included

Dashboards & field controls

Controls that see around corners

Live earned-value, a day-by-day lookahead your crews actually read, and automatic resource deconflicting — so nobody's booked in two places at once.

Built for teams

Real-time collaboration the incumbents can't match

Legacy scheduling tools are single-author desktop apps. Cronova is multiplayer by design — plan, update and review together, from the office or the jobsite, with the controls IT needs.

🟢

Real-time co-editing

Work the schedule together like a Google Doc — live presence, remote selection and instant updates. One source of truth, always current; no more emailing XER files around.

💬

Comments & @mentions

Discuss any activity in context — notes, threads and @mentions that pull the right people in. Decisions live next to the work, not buried in email.

🛡

Roles, permissions & sharing

Administrator, Editor and Viewer roles per project, plus secure read-only links to share schedules with owners, clients and external stakeholders.

🕘

Full audit trail

Every change is recorded — who moved a date, updated progress or re-linked logic, and when. Accountability without the spreadsheet detective work.

🔔

Notifications & alerts

Get pinged on overdue activities, stalled dependencies and deadline risk. Subscribe to the projects and reports you care about; automated email keeps everyone aligned.

📱

Field & mobile updates

Crews update progress from the jobsite on any device. What happens on site flows straight into the schedule and dashboards — no double entry.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How is Cronova different from Primavera P6 or MS Project?
Cronova keeps the rigor — a true critical-path engine, WBS, total and free float, retained logic and earned-value — but lives in the browser, onboards in minutes, and adds Kanban, BI dashboards and an AI assistant that legacy tools don't have. It reads and writes native .XER files, so you stay interoperable with P6 instead of locked in. No desktop installs, no per-seat license headaches.
Can it handle DOT / agency schedule specs?
That's what it's built for. Cronova's CPM engine is modeled on Florida DOT's rigorous scheduling requirements — Precedence Diagram Method, total and free float, a longest-path filter, retained-logic out-of-sequence progress, project-specific calendars and no silent resource leveling. It can also draft full narrative submittals (cover, scope, update-over-update comparison, calendars and Gantt appendices) as a review-ready PDF in the structure agencies expect. Requirements vary by agency and contract, so we're happy to walk through your spec with you.
Is it really multi-user?
Yes — Cronova is browser-native with real-time presence, live change broadcast, comments/@mentions and conflict detection. Your whole team can be in the same schedule at once.
Which industries is it for?
The engine is industry-agnostic. Construction is the flagship vertical (with a full field module), but templates ship for software, events, energy, healthcare, infrastructure and manufacturing too.
How does the AI assistant work?
Describe what you need in plain language. The assistant builds full schedules, assembles KPI dashboards, edits progress and navigates for you. On Business plans it's powered by Claude; your data and API key stay server-side.
