The Industry Standard for Construction Project Control and Transparency
Prolog® Manager is a Windows-based project management application offering the most complete system of record for capturing
and managing project information, from the field to the back office, for project managers accountable for construction costs,
scope and schedules. With features including collaboration, purchasing management, cost control, document management and
field administration capabilities, Prolog is designed to match today’s industry processes, while being adaptable to meet individual
project requirements.
Project-based organizations within AEC, Commercial, and Public sector industries use Prolog to improve top-line revenue
growth while reducing their capital construction costs. Prolog Manager helps general contractors, engineering firms, building
owners and public agencies efficiently manage all critical project data in one central software system, ensuring project
management best practices are followed. With Prolog Manager, your project team members can quickly identify and mitigate
potential areas of risk—before they impact project delivery performance or your bottom line.
