About planCoo

PlanCoo is not just a planning tool—it’s the infrastructure for cross-organizational collaboration. We bridge the gap between internal execution and external partnerships, creating a transparent ecosystem for companies, universities, and hubs.

What planCoo is

Run projects with structure

Plan and track work with timelines and boards, and keep tasks, roles, and progress coordinated in one place.

Make collaboration visible

Company feeds, project feeds, and real‑time chat turn day‑to‑day updates into shared context — so teams stay aligned without email chains or fragmented tools.

Public pages + verified portfolio

Each company can have a shareable public mini‑website (company page) that stays in sync with projects and updates — turning ongoing work into a clear, trustworthy portfolio without manual “status reporting”.

Hubs: memberships + portfolio overview

A Hub is a subscription type where a hub organization can invite companies in (similar to a membership). A hub can then provide a hub‑level portfolio overview and an aggregated portfolio feed with the latest updates across all invited companies.

  • Invite companies into a hub portfolio (membership-like)
  • Portfolio overview across companies and activity
  • Hub-level portfolio feed aggregating news/updates

Marketplace: bridge academia and industry

The Marketplace connects companies, universities, and students through real work: projects, theses, cases, and collaborations. It’s designed to make collaboration discoverable and easier to start.

  • Companies publish opportunities and collaborate with students
  • Universities bring real cases into learning and strengthen pipelines
  • Students build verifiable experience through contributions
  • Post projects to find collaboration partners across the planCoo network

Who it’s for

Companies & teams

Teams that need execution + visibility across partners, clients, and suppliers.

Universities & students

Learning that connects to real cases and produces portfolio-ready outcomes.

Startup hubs & ecosystems

Organizations that coordinate many companies and want a shared portfolio + feed layer.

School districts & networks

Multi-organization environments coordinating many projects and participants.

How schools and directorates can use planCoo

Example A: school and academia projects (incl. Erasmus+ across action types)

planCoo can be used by schools, universities, and coordinators running Erasmus+ projects (across action types) and other collaboration initiatives — when you want professional planning tools, clearer partner collaboration, and a consistent way to present project activity publicly.

  • Create a professional, shareable public page (mini‑site) for the school or organization
  • Plan projects with professional project tools (timelines/boards, tasks, roles, updates)
  • Invite partners into projects and collaborate directly on the project page
  • Give each project its own shareable public mini‑website for presenting progress and outcomes
  • Use real‑time team chat so communication stays connected to the work
  • planCoo does not provide document storage; formal programme documents remain in your existing document storage and official channels
Note: planCoo is an independent commercial platform and is not affiliated with the European Union or the Erasmus+ programme.

Example B: district / startup hub as a Hub (hierarchy)

planCoo Hubs are designed for ecosystems that coordinate many members. A district or startup hub can be set up as a Hub, invite members in (schools or companies), and get a hub‑level portfolio overview and feed across the whole ecosystem.

  • Hub → members: invite schools/companies as members (membership‑like)
  • Members → projects: each member can run multiple projects with planning + collaboration
  • Hub portfolio: overview across members, projects, and people
  • Hub feed: aggregated portfolio feed with the latest updates across all members
  • Org Chart: See how companies, teams, and people are organized (across the ecosystem)
  • Projects & tasks on the org chart: instantly see where projects run and who owns the work
  • Centralized licensing: Buy once, distribute across unlimited sub-companies and teams via our shared license pool
For procurement-style questions (DPA, hosting region, retention/deletion, and access controls), refer to the DPA and Privacy pages.

Why it’s different

More than just a tool

PlanCoo is the infrastructure for cross-organizational collaboration. While traditional tools manage internal tasks, PlanCoo builds the ecosystem that connects companies, universities, and hubs—clarifying roles, responsibilities, and execution across borders.

Ecosystem-first collaboration

PlanCoo is designed for collaboration that spans organizations — not only internal teams — including partner invites, hub memberships, and marketplace discovery across companies and universities.

Org Chart + accountability

Get a living map of your ecosystem: how organizations are structured, who works where, and where projects are executed. Tasks and responsibilities stay linked to teams and units, making cross-organization coordination far easier.

Visibility without extra admin

Instead of separate status decks and manual reporting, updates and activity become part of the portfolio layer and feeds — reducing friction and improving continuity across teams and stakeholders.

What people typically use instead

Internal project tools

Tools like Monday.com or ClickUp are built for internal team productivity. In cross‑organization projects, this often means partners use different tools. To keep plans updated, teams send weekly status reports and planners manually translate progress into the central timeline.

planCoo mitigates this by removing silos: bringing stakeholders into one shared workspace where updates, responsibilities, and progress stay connected to the work.

Challenges in today’s approach

  • Updates arrive late and in summary form (weekly reporting loops)
  • Dependencies are easy to miss, so corrections come as larger replans
  • Surprises accumulate and create ripple effects across teams and milestones

Chat & collaboration tools (communication)

Slack and Microsoft Teams are excellent for communication, but they don’t provide a unified project/portfolio layer by default.

Professional networks (visibility)

Platforms like LinkedIn are built for external profiles, not for turning ongoing project work into an internal, verifiable collaboration history across organizations.

Students & academia

PlanCoo is built for collaboration across organizations and borders — and that includes universities and students. A university can be set up as a Hub, with sub‑entities that reflect real structure such as faculties, classes, cohorts, or student organizations.

  • Universities as hubs: create departments/teams for classes, cohorts, or student organizations
  • Students can collaborate with other students — at the same university, across universities, and across borders
  • Marketplace discovery: find relevant projects in industry and connect with companies
  • Marketplace publishing: post projects to recruit partners across the planCoo network
  • Live CV: student profiles grow automatically from real contributions (shareable and verifiable)
