Features

Everything a PMO expects from a PPM. Nothing superfluous.

Eight modules that share the same visual language and the same data: what you see in committee is exactly what teams see.

Portfolio & programs

The consolidated view of all your projects, as rich, readable tiles: each tile shows progress, budget consumption, key milestones and RAG status. Programs automatically aggregate their projects.

Explore the module in detail →

Consolidated project tiles — progress, budget, EAC, milestones and risks on a single card.
Automatic RAG statuses — green / amber / red computed from budget, schedule and risks.
Automatic project coding — P01-001 codes per program, non-editable, present in every export.
Consolidated roadmap — cross-portfolio timeline with milestones and dependencies.

CAPEX / OPEX / EAC budgets

Continuous financial steering: envelopes, consumed, estimate at completion and estimate to complete by project, program and portfolio. Variances surface before they become crises.

Explore the module in detail →

Separate CAPEX / OPEX — with automatic aggregation at program and portfolio levels.
EAC & ETC — estimated landing and remaining work, alerts when drift exceeds your configured threshold.
External costs & vendors — time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts, contractual vs invoiced day rates, variance alerts.
Contract alerts — automatic email at D-90 / 60 / 30 / 7 before a resource or vendor contract expires.

Resources & capacity

Who does what, and who will be overloaded in three months? The resource repository and the teams × months cross-view answer at a glance.

Explore the module in detail →

Teams × months cross-view — load matrix over 3 to 12 months, utilisation colour-coding, Excel export for your committees.
Overload alerts — configurable thresholds (amber / red), with the affected resources detailed.
Complete repository — roles, day rates, capacity, start date, contracts and expiry dates per resource.
Per-project allocations — monthly load plan, allocated vs consumed comparison.

Timesheets & demands

Time entries feed budgets and capacity directly. Project demands follow a qualification workflow until they are converted into projects.

See it in Resources & capacity →

Weekly entry by project — with 2- or 3-level validation and configurable validation deadlines.
Leaves & availability — absences automatically reduce planned capacity.
Demand workflow — qualification, prioritisation, acceptance, conversion to project, traced end to end.

Governance & executive

Decisions, trade-offs and regulatory compliance in one place — and the committee deck that generates itself in one click, in your corporate branding.

Explore the module in detail →

Executive PowerPoint export — portfolio, budget and milestone summary, in your organisation's colours and logo.
Decision log — who decided what, when, on which project — with action follow-up.
Risks & dependencies — probability × impact map, cross-project dependencies, regulatory milestones.
SAFe trains — PIs, sprints and capabilities for organisations running agile at scale.

Excel & Microsoft Project import

Your existing data is not an obstacle: MARCEL imports your Excel files and Microsoft Project schedules in seconds.

See it in Projects & roadmap →

Native .mpp import — tasks, milestones and dependencies pulled straight from Microsoft Project.
Excel import / export everywhere — projects, resources, teams, allocations: preview and control before committing.
Power BI kit — connect your BI reports to MARCEL data.

AI PMO agent

A built-in copilot that knows your data and speaks your language: ask your steering questions, it cross-references budgets, milestones, risks and capacity to answer.

See it in Reporting & integrations →

Natural language questions — "which projects are at risk of overrunning their budget this quarter?"
Anomaly detection — EAC drifts, late milestones, team overloads flagged automatically.
Trade-off recommendations — summaries ready for your steering committee agenda.

Security, SSO & deployment

Built to pass your IT department's security reviews: enterprise authentication, fine-grained permissions, data isolation and your choice of hosting model.

See the CIO use case →

SSO Google, Microsoft Entra ID, SAML 2.0 — with auto-provisioning and allowed domains.
Profiles & permissions — PMO, project manager, executive, finance roles — every screen enforces rights.
Multi-tenant or on-premise — SaaS with strict tenant isolation, or installed on your servers with a dedicated licence.
Email alerts & webhooks — project events, budget thresholds and contracts pushed to your tools.
