Built for smoother construction projects

From less admin to clearer accountability, construction professionals share how Yolean keeps work moving and days on site running easier.
"At Köster, we work continuously to improve the way we operate. With Yolean, we’re taking a natural step from analogue lean planning to a digital solution that works across our entire organization. It makes it easier to follow up, coordinate, and make better decisions in time."

“I wanted a tool that mirrors the way we actually work. The schedule in Yolean was the deciding factor. You can see the coming week as well as what’s planned six or eight weeks ahead.”
Markus Nikolausson
Design Manager
“The project was completed more than successfully, with a 20 percent increase in pace while keeping stress levels low for everyone involved. Issues, additions, and concerns could be addressed immediately and clarified in the shortest possible time. As a result, the weekly site meetings could be reduced to a minimum.”

“By using Yolean, managing questions and answers has become much easier. It’s now clear which questions have been decided and which ones still need responses.

It’s also a big advantage that all members of the design team can log in to ask and answer questions, which creates a more active and engaged design process.”

For the design phase in construction

With clear structure, real-time insight, and full traceability, Yolean supports smoother workflows and better decisions across the entire design process.

Schedule and milestones – clarity from the start

Create a visual schedule with deliverables, meetings, and milestones. When everyone follows the same plan, it’s easier to coordinate work, identify dependencies, and drive progress toward shared goals.

The result: clarity from day one and better control as the project evolves.

Portfolio overview – visibility across your projects

View multiple projects in one dashboard to track progress, resources, and dependencies.
With portfolio-level insights, leaders can allocate resources effectively, identify bottlenecks early, and prevent delays.
Each team keeps its own board, while management gains a complete overview.

Documentation and reporting – traceability at every step

Decisions, actions, and meeting notes are saved continuously.
Progress is easy to track in dashboards and reports.

When the project wraps up, export everything to Excel or PDF—making final documentation part of the workflow, not an extra step.

Meeting tool – clear decisions and accountability

Make meetings part of the project workflow. Agendas build directly from project actions and topics, keeping discussions focused.
During the meeting, decisions and actions are logged in real time, and the minutes are ready to share as soon as it ends.
Everyone works from the same record—so meetings are shorter, clearer, and easier to follow up.

External references – seamless collaboration across systems

Link documents, drawings, or issues from other tools directly in Yolean.

Anything with a web link can be connected to the right task or topic.

Internal and external teams work with the same information—no platform switching needed.

Q&A – structured communication

Keep all questions and answers in one organized thread, connected to project activities and responsibilities.

Each question has an owner, deadline, and status, so nothing slips through the cracks.

The entire dialogue is logged for transparency and traceability.

Notifications and reminders – stay on track

Yolean helps teams focus on what matters.
Reminders are linked to tasks, meetings, and questions. Before each meeting, participants get an agenda with open items and commitments.

Automatic reminders for deadlines or status changes keep progress steady and reduce missed tasks.

Personal views – focus on what matters

Each team member gets a personalized view tailored to their role.
Tasks and questions are filtered by ownership—assigned to you, from you, or those you follow—so it’s easy to stay focused.
This prevents overload in large projects and clarifies expectations for everyone.

Tags and attributes – structure across the project

Tag questions, actions, activities, and meetings with labels like Tenant, Issue Type, or custom attributes.

This makes filtering and searching easy, even in complex projects. Shared tags help teams keep a consistent structure that supports coordination, meetings, and reporting.

Your project data stays secure – wherever you work

Yolean gives you full control over how and where your project data is managed. Run Yolean as a shared cloud service, in your own private cloud, or fully isolated on-premises. You decide the level of access, hosting responsibility, and integration. Every setup is built for performance, reliability, and GDPR compliance.
