Project Controls Expo marks strong launch for XER Schedule Toolkit 1.4

Three representatives from XER Schedule Toolkit attended the Project Controls Expo at Wembley Stadium at the beginning of November, where they showcased the tool to over 2,000 delegates across a range of sectors.

The event, attended by the team for the second consecutive year, was a valuable opportunity to discuss the project-controls challenges that many in the industry commonly face.

XER Schedule Toolkit, now approaching its eleventh year, has been developed into a practical, all-in-one platform that allows planners, schedulers, and wider project teams to view, analyse and share project schedules with ease.

By giving everyone access to the same information, the toolkit helps improve communication, accuracy, and day-to-day understanding of project progress for team members across the board.

During the Expo, the team showcased XER Schedule Toolkit 1.4, the latest version of the platform. The update features a refreshed interface, enhanced reporting, improved mobile usability, and the new AI Exec Summary, which breaks down schedule changes into clear, actionable insights. Version 1.4 also introduces the first phase of Period Reporting, giving users a quick, straightforward view of project health and activity trends.

Daniel Wilson, Sales Director at Spencer Group, Matthew Tomlinson, XER Business Development Executive, and Ellis Denton, Planning Manager at Spencer Group, formed the team over the three-day event. They spoke with hundreds of attendees, including representatives from Kognitive, Nomitech, and Leonardos, demonstrating the platform’s effectiveness in managing major projects for prominent clients such as Network Rail, Morgan Sindall Group, Skanska, and Mace.

The event proved successful in generating interest among attendees, with 19 new free trial signups from professionals across a wide range of sectors including energy, aerospace, project management, construction and more.

Matthew Tomlinson, Business Development Executive for XER Schedule Toolkit said:

“Across the two days, we had excellent, in-depth conversations with both existing users and potential customers, and the feedback throughout was incredibly positive. It proved to be our most successful event to date, generating more leads than ever before and resulting in a strong uptake of XER Schedule Toolkit trials.”
