MOCA Systems will debut Precision Time Planning for its Touchplan platform, introducing minute-level scheduling and built-in shift management to improve field planning and crew coordination. The capability lets teams plan and sequence tasks from weeks down to minutes, support short-duration and repetitive activities, and reassign crews within a day without sacrificing higher-level views. A public demonstration will be held at the NECA Show in Chicago ahead of a rolling commercial release to all Touchplan customers in the first quarter of next year. The feature aims to reduce bottlenecks, improve sequencing accuracy, and streamline collaboration between office and field teams.
MOCA Systems, Inc. (MSI) announced the upcoming release of a new capability for its Touchplan platform named Precision Time Planning. The feature is described as a scheduling and planning capability that adds minute-level scheduling and shift management to the existing digital planning workflow. The rollout is planned for the first quarter of 2026 and will be showcased publicly for the first time at a national electrical contracting tradeshow.
The announcement notes that the capability will be demonstrated at the National Electrical Contractors Association Show in Chicago, with the event scheduled for September 12–15, 2025. Attendees will be able to see Touchplan in action at NECA Show Booth #1615. The show location is McCormick Place, Chicago.
Touchplan is described as the leading software platform for construction planning. MSI positions the product as a real-time, cloud-based solution that combines precise control with a user-friendly interface to support planning across all project stakeholders, from executives to field crews. The capability, Precision Time Planning, is presented as a new feature within Touchplan that grants teams the flexibility to plan, sequence, and coordinate work across weeks, days, hours, or even minutes.
In the release, a senior MSI leader notes that the volatility, complexity, and urgency inherent in modern construction require accurate and flexible digital workforce planning. The press materials emphasize that the new capability enables teams to schedule work down to the minute, manage crews across shifts, and maintain the right level of detail while keeping the platform easy to use. The emphasis is on down-to-the-minute scheduling, multi-shift crew management, and adaptive detail levels.
One section of the release is titled Empowering Crews and Trade Partners, highlighting how Precision Time Planning helps contractors manage crews and headcounts across shifts, sequence short-duration or repetitive tasks without guesswork, and identify bottlenecks before they trigger costly delays. It also notes the ability to switch seamlessly between daily and detailed views of work in progress.
The release positions Touchplan as a platform that blends precise control with dynamic ease of use to make advanced planning accessible to every project stakeholder. It highlights that the platform is used by leading contractors and MEP firms, and leverages the Last Planner System as part of its collaborative foundation. The intent is to prevent schedule and budget slippage while giving Owners and Contractors instant insights to track progress and anticipate problems.
A user testimonial from a scheduling manager at a project partner notes the impact of the capability on planning and crew reassignment, described in paraphrased terms as a game changer for handling partial-day activities and reallocation of crews. The testimonial also suggests that Precision Time Planning will help teams plan more effectively and keep projects moving with greater confidence. The release lists Touchplan as the premier software offering from MOCA Systems and reiterates its status as the most-used platform for production planning and analytics in construction contexts.
Availability information confirms that Precision Time Planning will be accessible to all Touchplan customers in Q1 2026.
