Gloctes vs P6 vs MS Project

Plan like P6. Deliver like no one else.

Gloctes gives you a P6-grade critical-path schedule — then keeps going, into cost, field progress and invoicing, in one construction platform that imports and exports P6 and MS Project. You keep your ecosystem; you never re-key a programme.

Three tools, three philosophies

Two planners. One platform.

P6 and MS Project are scheduling tools. Gloctes is the platform that also runs what happens after the schedule.

P6
Enterprise scheduling

Primavera P6

Oracle's portfolio-grade CPM engine. Built for very large programs — deep, powerful, specialist, and costly.

MS
Desktop scheduling

Microsoft Project

The familiar single-project planner of the Office world. Flexible Gantt, quick to start, widely known.

G
Integrated delivery platform

Gloctes

P6-grade CPM plus cost, field and invoicing in one construction-built system — online or offline.

Scheduling capability, side by side

Everything a planner does — and what it doesn't

Gloctes matches P6 and MS Project on pure scheduling, then goes further — into where projects actually make or lose money.

A schedule tool stops at the schedule

Planning is only the first box

P6 and MS Project plan the work. Gloctes also measures it, values it, and invoices it — one connected chain.

Plays nicely with P6 and MS Project

Moving a schedule never means re-typing it

Gloctes imports from and exports to the formats your partners already use. Submit to a client on P6, receive a consultant's MS Project plan, hand finance an Excel export — Gloctes stays the single source of truth.

Why Gloctes wins for construction

Six reasons to choose Gloctes

Field-to-finance in one flow

Approved daily reports feed BOQ quantities and auto-build the payment certificate — no re-entry.

Construction-native by design

EOT / Time-Impact Analysis, retention, liquidated damages, BOQ reconciliation — built in, not bolted on.

Own your data, work offline

Desktop Solo runs on one PC; Server runs across a LAN. Your data stays on your machine — no cloud dependency.

Lower total cost of ownership

An owned licence for the whole team vs stacking per-seat enterprise subscriptions.

Bilingual & borderless

English / French throughout, built for global project delivery — usable across every region, not just one.

Interoperable, not isolated

Two-way P6 / MS Project / Excel exchange means you keep every existing partner workflow.

When to use which
