For the Industrial Mid-Market

Project Steering for the Industrial Mid-Market

Linetrack is the collaborative scheduling and capacity planning platform for the industrial mid-market: project-driven manufacturing and engineering companies with several departments that share the same resources. Departments maintain their own share of the plan themselves – no dedicated scheduler role required.

Quick answer

Linetrack is built for project-driven industrial companies that run several projects at once with shared resources – regardless of size. It makes the biggest difference typically for organizations between 20 and 300 employees and up to 30-plus departments, without that being a hard ceiling: Stadler Rail, a noticeably larger company, is among our reference customers too.

Familiar symptoms

Where the mid-market struggles today

Four patterns that keep showing up in project-driven industrial companies between 20 and 300 employees – regardless of sector.

Too big for a single spreadsheet

Once several departments work on the same projects, one spreadsheet per project stops being enough. 91% of customers named exactly this Excel and tool sprawl as their starting problem.

Card background pattern

Too lean for a dedicated scheduler role

A full-time scheduler who maintains plans while departments merely report status only pays off at a scale the mid-market rarely reaches – yet several projects still have to be planned at the same time.

Card background pattern

Several departments, one shared headcount

Design, production and assembly often work on the same projects and draw on the same people. Without a cross-department view of free capacity, double-bookings only surface at the delivery date.

Card background pattern

Project count outgrows the process

The range runs from 5 to over 270 parallel projects per customer in the mid-market – often growing faster than the planning process kept up.

Getting started in the mid-market

What that means for getting started

The license starts at €10 per user and month and is modular by user count, roles and the feature modules booked – a company with three departments pays for a different scope than one with thirty.

The rollout proceeds step by step across departments while running projects continue uninterrupted; the full sequence is covered on the Getting Started page. Existing interfaces – to ERP, time tracking or Office – are connected without any custom development required; which systems those typically are is shown in the interfaces and integrations overview.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions?

Book a slot with our team.

At what company size does Linetrack pay off?

From the point where several departments work on the same projects and share resources – Linetrack makes the biggest difference typically for organizations between 20 and 300 employees and up to 30-plus departments, without that being a hard ceiling: Stadler Rail, a noticeably larger company, is among our reference customers too. Headcount alone is not the deciding factor; whether several projects compete for the same people at the same time is.

Is Linetrack also suitable for small teams?

Yes. Linetrack can be used by teams of any size – from 1 to over 500 employees. It brings the most value once several departments have to coordinate the same resources across several parallel projects.

How is Linetrack different from enterprise tools such as Project Online or Primavera?

Significantly. Project Online, and especially Primavera P6, are built for very large projects with a dedicated scheduler role or a PMO. Linetrack is built for the mid-market: departments maintain their own share of the plan themselves, with no separate planning department. The differences in detail are covered by Linetrack vs. MS Project and Linetrack vs. Primavera P6.

What does getting started cost for a mid-market company?

The license starts at €10 per user and month and is modular by user count, roles and the feature modules booked – a company with three departments pays for a different scope than one with thirty. A trial planning session ahead of the decision is free, and suppliers receive a free collaboration license.

Do we need our own IT department for the rollout?

No. Linetrack runs as a web application from ISO 27001-certified data centers in Germany, with no server infrastructure of your own to maintain. Existing interfaces to ERP, time tracking or Office are connected without any custom development required – details are covered in the interfaces and integrations overview.

Does the license scale as more departments come on board?

Yes. The license model is modular by user count, roles and feature modules, so further departments and users can be added step by step instead of paying upfront for the full build-out. The rollout follows the same staged approach; the full sequence is covered on the Getting Started page.
