CONSIM

CONSIM, the latest offering (version 2.1) from Ristems Ltd, is a standout program in the Business category, specifically within the Project Management subcategory. This powerful tool, available for free download, leverages the company's innovative Introuter Technology to provide comprehensive project monitoring capabilities.

Designed to visualise your project through 3D rendered views, CONSIM2.exe, and ConSim2_5.exe file names facilitate a seamless integration with popular software like Primavera. This feature, combined with its web-based platform, allows for real-time access, making it possible to monitor your project from anywhere in the world. Whether you're managing a project in London while sitting in New York, CONSIM ensures you're always in the loop with the latest updates, including today's planned and actual progress.

Post-integration, the system automatically updates as activities progress in Primavera, saving significant effort and time.
