PlanWell to Prolog Databridge

Communication is key - the ability to span gaps in platforms immediately and with effect - essential.
That’s why we created PlanWell DataBridge™, an application enabling the real-time exchange of information between PlanWell Enterprise, the most widely available online planroom in our industry today, and Prolog® - construction project management software licensed by Meridian Systems.
With DataBridge, Prolog users will be able to share common data, synchronize project information, and eliminate redundant data entry – increasing efficiency and leveraging the power of both applications into one powerhouse system.

If you use Prolog and also use PlanWell contact us to learn how DataBridge can save you loads of time and keep both systems syncronized.
