Touchplan Partner Newsletter | January 2022
Hello Partners!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday and took some well-deserved time off. 2021 has been an eventful year, including the launch of Touchplan’s Partner Program. I am grateful for the partnerships we have been able to make and I am excited for the continuous opportunities we will create together in 2022.
As we transition into the new year, please let me know if there is anything you would like to see or hear from us going forward. Your feedback is extremely important to me and I value all ideas.
Happy January!

Product Spotlight:
Maintain and Improve Efficiency with Custom Fields
With Custom Fields, teams can easily: maintain workflow and efficiency on-site, improve data estimates, and track supply chain and materials. Define your own fields by creating custom tickets that actualizes progress. Doing so creates transparency for all users to see the information in real-time, while also only requiring information to be inputted one time. Read more here.
What A Customer Is Saying About this Feature:
“Custom Fields is a great next step for teams who want to be able to stack up their planned throughput vs. work in place. In my opinion, the sky’s the limit here for project managers and superintendents to innovate within Touchplan’s planning and communication space. I am looking forward to seeing what else we can do with custom fields after project teams have started using it.” – Former Superintendent at Whiting Turner
