Tom's Planner is a web-based project planning system that offers a user-friendly platform for creating, sharing, and publishing Gantt Charts. Founded in 2009 by Thomas Ummels, a former project manager, the company is based in The Netherlands.
The platform's key differentiator lies in its simplicity and ease of use, targeting a wide range of users including project managers, event organizers, and even individual users like busy parents or personal planners. Unlike complex alternatives such as MS Project or Primavera, Tom's Planner requires no installation and allows for quick project planning with its drag-and-drop feature.
Noteworthy features include the ability to create schedules and plans with simple “drag and drop” actions, share schedules online, and save data securely on the user's hard drive. Furthermore, the platform provides sample project planning templates tailored for various industries such as web design, construction, and event planning.
Tom's Planner has positioned itself as a user-centric and efficient solution in the project planning space, catering to the needs of a broad audience with its intuitive approach and emphasis on privacy and security.
