Coordinate your upgrades. Stop emailing spreadsheets.
Dovient projects are an operational hub. Milestones with weighted phases, tasks with owners, documents in one place, and linked work orders that roll up real cost. One view, one truth, one timeline.
Honest scope: operational project hub, not a financial capex budgeting system. See the FAQ below for what's in and what's not.

Project → Milestone → Task → Work Order.
Every level rolls up to the one above. Tasks link to work orders, work orders link back to the milestone, the milestone weights into the project.
Project
The initiative. Owner, due date, members, timeline.
Milestone
Ordered phases with weight % and status.
Task
Assigned to people, optionally linked to a WO.
Work order
Real labour, real parts, real cost. Rolls up.
Four surfaces a project manager opens weekly.
Timeline, tasks, members, documents. The operational spine of any plant upgrade.
Milestones · Line 4
Milestone board
Phases with weight %, completion, and the current blocker highlighted.
Tasks · install phase
Task list
Task-level ownership. Status, due date, linked work order, assigned members.
Documents · 14
Documents
Drawings, permits, RFQ responses, vendor contracts. One place, not a shared drive.

Live spend rollup
Real cost from linked work orders. No separate budgeting system required to see the number.
Project coordination, not financial capex.
Dovient is the operational hub. The numbers come from real work orders, not a separate budgeting spreadsheet.
Milestone-based phases
Weighted phases (design 10%, build 60%, test 30%) with due dates and status. Dashboard shows which milestone is the blocker.
Tasks with owners and status
PENDING, IN_PROGRESS, STUCK, COMPLETED, CANCELLED. Assignees, due dates, optional WO link.
Linked work orders
Tasks link to work orders. The WO's cost ledger (labor + parts + vendor) rolls up into the project's real spend.
Live spend without a separate tool
Because every WO writes labor and parts costs already, you get a true project cost without integrating a budgeting system.
Gantt-style timeline
Horizontal bars for the project, milestones inside with completion, current position marker. Hover to see linked tasks.
Document vault per project
Drawings, permits, RFQ responses, vendor contracts, photos. One project folder, not a shared drive.
Member roster with roles
Project manager, engineers, techs, vendor contacts. Each member sees the tasks and documents they are assigned to.
Embedded in maintenance planning
A WO says 'this job is part of Project X, Milestone Install'. The tech gets context without a separate tool.
Copilot status summaries
Ask the Copilot 'where are we on Line 4 upgrade' and get the milestone breakdown, the blocker, the spend, and the top three risks.
We used to run plant-upgrade projects in Excel and email. Dovient projects gave us one timeline, and because every task linked to a work order, the real spend came out of the CMMS ledger without us building anything.
