Partners and legal entities
Each organisation sits in the project with a role, not as a guest in someone else’s tenant.
Consortium management software
planCoo gives Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe coordinators one place for partners, roles, work packages, and reporting.
Work packages
Legal entities
Partner visibility
Reporting
The problem: Excel, Teams, and email as the consortium
Most EU-funded projects still run on a shared drive, a Teams channel the coordinator owns, and a spreadsheet of partners. Work packages live in Word. Status lives in meetings. External partners cannot see who is accountable. Stakeholders get a PDF when someone remembers to send one.
That stack is familiar. It is not consortium management. It is file sharing with extra steps.
What planCoo makes visible
Work packages and Gantt
Phases, deliverables, and owners in one timeline the whole consortium can follow.
Public project pages
Dissemination without a second website. Show what the grant requires — keep the rest internal.
AI status from the plan
Reports from tasks, milestones, and the feed — not from a coordinator rewriting the same email.
Who it is for
Coordinators on Erasmus+ KA2 and Horizon Europe who need partners, work packages, and reporting in one workspace. Universities and research offices that run several funded partnerships. If you are not running a funded consortium, start at cross-company collaboration — same platform, including matrix organisations and partner networks.
FAQ
Is planCoo only for consortia?
No. Consortium work is one use of planCoo. The same workspace covers collaboration across companies, matrix organisations, and universities. See the homepage and cross-company collaboration.
Does this replace Beneficiary Module or Horizon reporting portals?
No. Official submissions stay in EU systems. planCoo is the day-to-day layer: roles, partners, progress, and public dissemination. See the Erasmus+ disclaimer.
How is this different from Microsoft Teams?
Teams is chat inside one tenant. A consortium spans legal entities that do not share a tenant. planCoo holds the project of record across those organisations.
