Update project progress on site via a web browser or mobile phone/PDA. Asta Siteprogress uses Windows mobile phone/PDA and web technology to enable quick and accurate progress reporting from construction sites.

Site managers simply “tick off” progress against a task list, either via a mobile phone/PDA as they walk around the site or via a web page. The progress is then automatically updated into the main project plan in Asta Powerproject.

Asta Siteprogress reduces the time it takes to update plans. Save time beacuse progress data has already been entered automatically, eliminating the need to fax progress sheets from sites and then manually enter the information into the plan. This also avoids the errors associated with ‘faxing back’ progress updates and then entering the information manually.”

Asta Projectanalyser is a complementary tool for Asta Powerproject. Asta Projectanalyser takes two project plans and compares them systematically. Various reports are available to list the differences and to help you find that “needle in a haystack”.

Asta Projectanalyser will save you many man-hours of effort trying to track down the cause and effects of changes in your project plans and is useful when it comes to:

  • A dispute between two parties
  • Comparing where you are now with where you started from
  • Comparing an adapted project with its baseline
  • Understanding how things have changed over time

Asta Project Viewer is a free of charge add-on provided by CADStation so you can share your projects with a client or co-worker who does not have an Asta Powerproject licence. Asta Project Viewer can be installed on a machine that does not have any version of Asta Powerproject installed.

Asta Project Viewer version 10 is a freely available viewer that enables users to open, navigate and print project plans. If you have version 9 (or later) of Asta Powerproject already installed on a PC, then you can also install Asta Project Viewer on the same machine.

Asta Risk Analysis is a project risk management software tool that can be added on to Asta Powerproject. Each task in the project plan is given a minimum, maximum and most likely duration. Asta Risk Analysis then executes a Monte Carlo Simulation.

This feature chooses a single duration for each task at random (between the extremes given) and reschedules the plan. The result is remembered as a single iteration. Hundreds, if not thousands, of iterations are carried out and the result is a range of possible outcomes for the project – in time and cost. The resulting frequency distribution of possible outcomes allows a probability of success to be attributed to a single outcome. The best and worst outcome can be judged allowing you to manage the level of risk in the project.
