Projects slip, costs creep, and bills go out late — and you only notice when it's too late

When every project lives in separate spreadsheets, you can't see where the time and money are really going until the damage is already done.

Behind schedule before you know it

A task quietly slips, then another, and suddenly the whole project is late — with no early warning to act on.

Costs creep past the budget

Extra material and hours pile up across the job, and you only find out you've overspent when you add it all up at the end.

Bills go out late — or short

Milestones get missed or forgotten, so you invoice late, under-bill the work done, and wait even longer to get paid.

What is Fast Project Management Software?

In plain words, it's the simple way to plan, cost and bill every project in one place

Fast Project Management Software breaks each project into clear tasks on a simple timeline, works out what each task will cost, and tracks progress as the work gets done. When a stage is finished, it's ready to bill straight away — so nothing slips through and no work goes unpaid.

Plans every task on a timeline

Break the project into steps on an easy Gantt chart, with clear start and finish dates and what depends on what.

Costs it before you start

A per-task list of people, machines and materials shows what the project should cost, so you can compare planned against actual.

Bills by milestone

As each stage is completed, raise the bill for exactly that work — by project, resource or milestone.

What you get

Projects that finish on time, on budget, and fully billed

On-time delivery

Spot slips early on the Gantt and act before one late task drags the whole project down.

Costs under control

Watch actual spend against budget at every step, so overruns get caught while you can still fix them.

Every rupee billed

Milestones are tracked all the way to the bill, so you invoice on time and never under-bill the work you've done.

One live view

Everyone works from the same up-to-date project picture instead of chasing status across emails and spreadsheets.

Complete project lifecycle

Every project. Every task. Every rupee — on record.

Fast Project Management Software carries every engineered or fabricated order through one controlled cycle, from a planned WBS on the Gantt to a milestone bill raised against the work done — with cost estimated against budget at every step.

Plan Create Project Break into WBS Tasks Set Dependencies Schedule on Gantt Assign Owners

Deliver Task BOR & Cost Estimate Assign & Track Progress Consume / Procure Bill by Milestone Complete & Review
Plan the work, then resource it

Each order is decomposed into a Work Breakdown Structure of tasks, sequenced with predecessor dependencies and laid out on the Gantt — then each task gets a Bill of Resources so the plan carries its own cost.

Estimated vs budget, all the way

The task BOR rolls material, labour and machine at their rates into an estimated cost, compared against the project budget — so cost overruns show up while the job is still running, not after.

Bill against the work done

Progress %, store issue against a task and project purchase requisitions feed resource-itemised bills by project, resource or milestone — including progress/RA bills and subcontractor bill passing against a PO.

Projects, WBS & tasks

A project, broken into a Work Breakdown Structure of tasks

Everything starts with the project — a bespoke order, a fabrication job, an engineering package. You create a project header with owner, customer, type, start and finish dates, budget and priority, and it lives on a lifecycle board with Active, On Hold, Completed and Inactive tabs, each carrying its own progress %.

You then break the project into a Work Breakdown Structure of tasks. Each task carries its own owner, assigned user, priority, dates, budget and progress %, linked by predecessor dependencies that establish sequence. Every task accumulates dated logs and file attachments — drawings, approvals, inspection records — so the WBS is both the plan and the record.

Gantt scheduling

An interactive Gantt that sequences the whole project

Every WBS task is drawn as a bar on an interactive Gantt chart, positioned by its start, finish and duration. Predecessor dependencies link the bars so the schedule sequences correctly — design before fabrication, fabrication before assembly — and the critical path is visible at a glance.

There are two views: an order-planning Gantt for the overall schedule and a resource-wise Project Gantt Chart that shows loading by resource. Reschedule by adjusting task dates, and the plan updates — so the Gantt stays the live schedule dashboard the project runs on.

Bill of Resources, costing & resources

A Bill of Resources per task — so the plan carries its cost

Each task gets its own Bill of Resources, built in a header-to-process-to-resource structure: the material, labour and machine lines it consumes, each with a quantity and a rate. Rates come straight from the Resource master, where machines, labour and tools carry their price, working hours and efficiency, grouped by category and type.

Roll the BOR quantities against their rates and you get an estimated cost per task, and a master roll-up BOR for the whole project — compared line by line against the budget. Cost estimation and the BOR cost breakdown show where a job is heading over budget while there is still time to act.

Project & milestone billing

Bill by project, resource or milestone — progress and RA bills

When work reaches a billable stage, you raise a project bill: a bill header with the party and project details, and resource-itemised lines keyed to tasks — resource group, code, quantity, unit and rate. That lets you bill by project, by resource, or by milestone, including progress and RA (running-account) bills as a job advances.

The same screen passes subcontractor and supplier bills against a purchase order, with clearance tracking, so incoming and outgoing bills sit in one place. Every bill prints to a clean PDF and hands off to Fast Billing — no re-keying, one party and item master across the suite.

Dashboards & reporting

Every project. Every task. Every bill — live.

Fast Project Management Software ships with the dashboards and MIS a project business actually runs on — portfolio status, task progress, the Gantt, cost estimation vs budget, resource loading and project billing — plus Dhruv AI, our own AI layer for the questions a fixed report can't answer.

Project Portfolio

The control tower — every project by status across Active, On Hold, Completed and Inactive, with owner, customer, budget and progress %, all on one screen for the manager who owns the portfolio.

Task Progress & Logs

The live position of every WBS task — owner, assigned user, dates and progress % — with dated task logs and the file attachments that record what was done.

Gantt Schedule

The interactive Gantt as the schedule dashboard — task bars by start, finish and duration, predecessor sequencing and the critical path, in order-planning and resource-wise views.

Cost Estimation vs Budget

Roll the task BOR quantities against their resource rates into an estimated cost per task and per project — compared line by line against budget, the basis for margin and overrun control.

BOR Cost Breakdown

The task and master roll-up Bill of Resources — material, labour and machine with quantities and rates — so the whole project's resource requirement and cost is visible in one report.

Resource Loading

Resource-wise loading from the resource master — which machines, labour and tools are committed to which tasks and when — so you spot over-allocation before it stalls the schedule.

Project Billing & Progress/RA Bills

Resource-itemised project bills by project, resource or milestone, and progress/RA bills as a project advances — every bill keyed to the tasks it covers.

Subcontractor Bill Passing

Subcontractor and supplier bills passed and cleared against a purchase order — with a supplier bill report — so incoming project costs sit alongside what you bill the client.

Dhruv AI Project Analytics

Dhruv AI, our own AI engine, turns a plain-English question — "which projects are over budget?" or "which tasks are slipping?" — into a safe, read-only query and answers with the data and a summary.

The Fast suite

Works even better alongside the Fast suite.

Fast Project Management is the project and ETO execution profile of one platform of 12 integrated Fast Technology products. It shares the same Resource and Item master and store engine as Fast Production, Fast Inventory and Fast Billing — so a project can issue stock against a task, raise a project purchase requisition, and hand its bills to accounts with zero double entry.

Fast Project Management Software also runs standalone — projects, WBS, Gantt, Bill of Resources, cost estimation, progress tracking and project billing all work without any other Fast product. The shared inventory ledger, procurement and Fast Billing hand-off switch on when you license those products.

Implementation that actually works

We map your project process first — how projects are planned, how the WBS is built, how resources are costed, how progress and bills are tracked, gap analysis. Then we configure Fast Project Management Software to fit how you deliver projects. Not the other way around.

What you get:
  • SRS sign-off before build — requirements captured, agreed, locked.
  • PDCA methodology — Plan-Do-Check-Act at every phase with periodic Plan vs Actual reporting.
  • 3 months hands-on handholding — onsite and remote, your staff trained until confident.
  • Video-recorded training sessions — staff who miss sessions can re-watch at any time.
  • End-user sign-off before go-live — nothing switches over until your team says it is ready.

Support that stays with you

Post go-live is not where we disappear. Dedicated support team, multiple channels, monthly review meetings, and patches issued on feedback. We treat support as part of the product.

Support channels:
  • Dedicated support portal — log tickets, track status, get resolution.
  • Email, WhatsApp, and phone — reach us on the channel that works for you.
  • Remote support via TeamViewer/AnyDesk — screen-sharing resolution for technical issues.
  • Monthly support review meetings — we analyse tickets and share improvement actions.
  • Up to 6 months post-go-live support — included in every implementation.

Integrations

Connects to procurement, billing, accounts — and WhatsApp

Because Fast Project Management runs on the shared document engine, its integrations are native table-level links, not brittle interfaces. Store issue against a task and project purchase requisitions move real stock, project and subcontractor bills hand off to Fast Billing, and WhatsApp, email, SMS and Dhruv AI keep the team and the client informed. One backbone.
