Asta Powerproject
Eleco (formerly Elecosoft)
Planning software built for construction rather than adapted to it — and a family of tools around it that share the same plan: model-based sequencing, tender estimating, field capture, portfolio reporting and maintenance. Browse the range from the list on the left.
Asta Powerproject
The core scheduling tool. Task pools and code libraries get a programme on screen in minutes; tasks are drawn and linked for critical path analysis, and calendars, resources and costs are assigned from inside the Gantt chart rather than through a separate dialog. More than 100,000 professionals plan in it, on everything from a single-storey extension to a megaproject.
- Critical path analysis with links drawn on the chart
- Calendars, resources and costs assigned in place
- 4D BIM as an integrated module
- Site progress captured on mobile
- Baseline comparison and progress reporting
- Exchange with Microsoft Project and Primavera P6
The current release is Asta Powerproject 2026, backward compatible with Version 17. The interface is available in thirteen languages, Spanish among them.
Licensing: single-user subscription · concurrent licence · enterprise · SaaS cloud subscription · single education licence · free trial. The software is a Windows application; the cloud subscription is what makes it reachable from a Mac.
Asta Enterprise
Several planners working inside the same programme at the same time. Collaboration happens across project files rather than through a chain of emailed copies, which is what makes it workable for a team rather than a single planner.
Asta Powerproject 4D
An integrated module that links tasks in the plan to objects in the 3D model. The sequence can be watched instead of imagined — useful for constructability review, for phasing decisions, and for showing a client what the programme actually means on site.
Asta Estimate
Estimating that carries into the programme. Quantities are taken off 2D drawings through a Bluebeam interface, or measured directly from the model, then priced from custom or industry-standard cost libraries — labour, plant and materials built up as recipes rather than as one flat rate. A fully resourced estimate can be turned into a Powerproject schedule instead of retyped into one. Embodied carbon is calculated in the same pass as cost, which is what makes an estimate answerable to a client’s sustainability requirements. Sold as Bidcon until the range was renamed.
Asta Siteprogress
Progress recorded on site, from any device, and returned straight to the programme. It closes the gap between what happened in the field and what the plan says happened — the gap where most schedule drift hides.
Asta Vision
Live project data across every programme in one view, with the workflow control, access management and integrity checks that portfolio-level reporting needs. Built for the person who has to answer for twenty projects rather than plan one.
Asta Vision Live
Cloud planning with several people inside the same plan at once. Vision Live keeps the behaviour of Asta Powerproject but runs it as a shared service reached through the browser, so simultaneous editing no longer depends on a file being checked out, copied or merged — and there is no on-premise deployment sitting behind it. The newest addition to the range.
Asta Connect
Collaborative task management around the plan. The master programme is imported so team objectives stay aligned, then work is broken into phases and time horizons for pull planning: to-do lists, assignees, dependencies and deadlines in one place, with automated notifications keeping commitments visible and live data showing planned percentage complete.
Asta Powerproject Business Intelligence
Reporting and insight drawn from Asta Powerproject data — trends across a portfolio of projects rather than a snapshot of one, and the answer to “is this pattern happening everywhere or only here?”
AstaGPT
An assistant trained on Eleco’s own product documentation, answering questions about Asta Powerproject, Asta Vision and Siteprogress in over 150 languages. Not a planning tool — a way for a planner to get a specific answer without opening a support ticket.
Easyplan
A lighter planning tool for smaller projects — the same logic as Asta Powerproject without the enterprise apparatus. The right starting point when a full scheduling licence would be more tool than the job needs.
Project Viewer
A free viewer for plans made in Asta Powerproject, Asta Powerproject BIM and Easyplan, as well as Microsoft Project and Oracle Primavera. Useful for the client, the subcontractor and anyone else who has to read the programme without editing it.
ShireSystem
Maintenance (CMMS) and facilities (CAFM) software for multiple sites and asset registers — the operational end of the Eleco range rather than the project end. Preventive and predictive maintenance scheduled on date, usage or condition triggers; risk assessments, audits, COSHH and inventory control on one database; a mobile app that works offline so the record does not depend on paper.
Core modules: maintenance management, work requester, stock and inventory, purchasing. Newer modules add a BI connector, permit to work, wallboard and an API.
How APP works with Eleco
APP plans in Asta Powerproject on live projects and implements it for clients — template and code library setup, calendars, progress and reporting routines, and the training that makes them stick. The planning method comes first; the tool serves it. See Planning, Scheduling & Project Controls.
