Explore the Differences

What is iTWOcx?

iTWOcx started life as 'Project Centre' 1997 and provided an electronic document and process controls solution to more effectively manage project correspondence and document control. Project Centre competed heavily with Aconex, before being acquired by the germany listed RIB as part of a strategic play to sitch a number of software solutions together and create a large monolithic software application for the real estate sector.

Today, iTWOcx is an older software that promotes itself as a construction project management software and has a heavy focus and influence on providing construction specific solution for General Contractors. It is a heavy tool and not 'turn key', often requiring a consultant to implement, configure and train staff on, before getting into service on a construction project. So if you are a construction company / General Contractors, iTWOcx would be worth looking at.

Why Mastt?

In contrast, Mastt was co-founded by Doug Vincent in 2019, a former Project & Program Management consultant, and targets the key requirements of Project Management and Program Management from the client or Project Owner’s perspective. Owner's care less about estimating, documents and site diarys and more abour the full Project Portfolio view. As such, managing and reporting on projects and portfolios across their entire lifecycle informs Mastt's approach, emphasizing a fast and easy to use systems that you can get started on today.

So if your role is geared towards reporting to project owners or managing many projects as a program, Mastt is right for you.
