PULL PLANNING SOFTWARE: FREE TRIAL

Pull planning software turns the Last Planner System into a digital workspace. The general contractor, trade contractors and project managers build a master schedule together, starting from the completion date and working backward through each required step. Nialli Visual Planner replaces sticky notes with a shared digital board, so every task, owner and deadline stays visible to the full team.

A pull planning session brings the general contractor, trade contractors and project managers together to map out the path to the construction project's completion. Each trade adds its tasks to the master schedule in the order they need to happen, working backward from the finish date. A successful pull planning session ends with every responsible party agreeing on their milestones, with buy-in from the full team.

Push planning starts from today and schedules tasks forward based on estimated durations. Pull planning works backward from the project's completion date, so trade contractors pull tasks into the schedule only when the work ahead of them is ready. This lean construction principle cuts down on unexpected delays because teams plan around real dependencies instead of guesses.

Visual Planner is designed for collaborative planning involving project teams and trades. It's modeled on the Last Planner System, supporting milestone planning, pull planning, make-ready planning, weekly work planning, constraint management, daily huddles and tracking reasons for variance and Percent Plan Complete (PPC).

Pull planning is a core practice in Lean construction. Lean pull planning software makes it easier to apply Lean principles, like reducing waste and improving flow across a jobsite, at scale. Nialli Visual Planner tracks constraints and reasons for variance, so teams can see where time and materials are lost and adjust the process for the next project.

Yes. Digital pull planning software tracks progress against the schedule in real time, so teams can spot potential delays and constraints as soon as they show up, not just during the weekly meeting. Nialli Visual Planner’s lookahead planning view flags which tasks are at risk, so trade contractors can act before a small holdup turns into a missed milestone.
