PlanCoo is the only platform that combines project management, internal social networking, and automatic portfolio building in one solution. We connect people, plans and progress through Gantt charts, Kanban boards, collaboration feeds, and a gamified Live CV – making collaboration seamless internally, across companies, and between industry and academia. Like an advanced juggling between Microsoft Project, Slack, and LinkedIn.
Tools like Monday, Asana, and ClickUp are fantastic platforms that excel at internal team productivity.
For many, they are the right choice. PlanCoo offers something different: it's where a project management tool meets a professional network (like LinkedIn).
This combination creates a unique effect:
1. From Silo to Ecosystem: PlanCoo connects your projects to a marketplace of universities, students, and partners.
2. From Tasks to Track Record: Your activity automatically builds a Live CV and Company Portfolio, turning work into a verified history.
3. From Admin to Engagement: Our social layer makes collaboration visible and verifiable.
In short: Traditional tools are great for private efficiency. PlanCoo is designed for those who want to get work done while building their brand and network.
Project teams who want better visibility and engagement. Companies collaborating with partners, clients, or universities. Students building verifiable portfolios from real projects. Universities connecting students with industry through the Marketplace. Anyone who wants project management that also builds professional networks and careers.
The Marketplace is an integrated EdTech feature that connects companies, universities, and students through real projects. Companies can publish specific opportunities—such as bachelor theses, case studies, or internships—to test and collaborate with students in practice. Students gain relevant, portfolio‑ready experience and build a verifiable Live CV. Universities bring real cases into curricula and strengthen regional hiring pipelines.
PlanCoo is an independent platform that aims to address the "Digital Shadow" in Erasmus+ projects (KA1, KA2, KA3) by moving the informal partner search and concept development phase into a structured ecosystem.
We provide a unified platform for Standardized Collaboration (facilitating the initiation of projects via a marketplace),
Integrated Planning (Gantt/Kanban), True Inclusion (removing technical barriers), and Strategic Insight (providing transparency on future activity levels).
This ensures that the genesis of projects is visible, verifiable, and accessible to all.
(Note: PlanCoo is not affiliated with the European Union or the Erasmus+ programme.)
The "Digital Shadow" refers to the critical early phase of partner search and concept development that often happens in closed or unstructured channels like Facebook groups. This makes it hard for new players to join and leaves this phase under-documented. PlanCoo attempts to solve this by providing a transparent, data-driven platform for these early interactions, ensuring equal access and better matching.
Every project you participate in automatically builds your professional profile. PlanCoo creates a live CV that showcases your real experience—which companies you've worked with, which projects you've contributed to, and the competencies you've developed. No manual updates needed. When you join a project, it's automatically added with your role, duration, company affiliation, and project description. Your profile displays collaboration statistics (projects completed, team members, companies, universities), earned collaboration badges, and verified work history through company connections. You control privacy—choose what to display publicly versus keep private. Share your profile via unique URL and QR code. Your CV grows naturally as you work, transforming project participation into a verifiable professional portfolio.
PlanCoo's collaboration algorithm tracks and rewards cross-boundary teamwork through badges like Bridge Builder (university partnerships), Cross-Pollinator (cross-sector projects), Industry Connector (multi-company collaboration), and Collaboration Master (diverse team experience). These badges form a unique Collaboration Profile generated by our algorithm. This gives recruiters and partners a verified insight into how you work—showing not just what you built, but your actual experience in navigating cross-functional and cross-sector environments.
Yes! Every user and company gets a shareable public profile page with a unique URL and QR code. You can showcase your experience, projects, and collaboration badges to potential employers or clients. Companies can use their mini-website as a digital business card to share contact information, ongoing projects, and company news—perfect for networking events, proposals, and marketing. Both personal profiles and company pages can be easily shared on LinkedIn, in email signatures, on business cards, and across other professional networks to boost visibility and credibility.
Yes. PlanCoo lets you collaborate with any user in its ecosystem—or invite external partners by sharing a license and assigning granular access controls—so updates, tasks, and progress stay coordinated in one transparent workspace, without email chains.
We believe the internal social layer enhances engagement and transparency by encouraging natural update sharing, surfacing progress faster, and keeping context woven into the work—rather than locked away in spreadsheets, emails, or numerous planning tools.
