The platform supports collaboration among team members and integrates with other applications for better data sharing. Key capabilities: project visualization resource allocation performance tracking collaboration tools application integration Best for: project managers and teams that need to manage multiple projects and ensure resources are used efficiently.

PlanStudio by Locatrix is a tablet-first, cloud-enabled drafting and indoor-mapping application designed primarily for public-safety, fire-protection and facilities teams to create, edit and publish spatially accurate floor plans and evacuation signage. The product combines CAD-style drawing tools, a secure cloud repository for plans and assets, push-button evacuation sign publishing, and onsite capture options such as LiDAR and mobile editing — positioning itself as a single workflow from field capture through to published compliance artefacts. The user interface emphasizes on-site usability: PlanStudio’s iPad/tablet editor is organized around quick snapping, template libraries and a simplified toolbar so technicians can walk a building, mark changes, and publish updates immediately. Testimonials and training material from Locatrix highlight that many users find the learning curve shallow and that in-field edits are particularly intuitive — the UI skews deliberately toward clarity for drafters and non-CAD users alike. The vendor also provides step-by-step video training and onboarding resources to flatten that curve. Functionality is broad and tailored to emergency-services and facilities workflows.
