This is how vPlan makes planning easier

We speak the same language

vPlan is, unlike Asana, a Dutch organisation. You're working with a local team that understands your market, culture, and processes. Whether it's about setup, integrations, or training, our consultants actively think along with you.

Asana offers a Dutch interface and documentation, but when it comes to questions or implementation, you're usually assisted by English-speaking support teams or external partners.

  • Dutch- and English-speaking consultancy (online or on-site)
  • Personal configuration, tailored to your situation
  • Support from people who understand your market

More than task management, control over capacity and teams

In vPlan you don't just plan tasks, you plan capacity. You can instantly see how much room each team or individual still has and where bottlenecks are emerging. This helps you maintain a clear overview, even across multiple projects.

In Asana, you mainly work at task level; team capacity is not displayed centrally.

  • Capacity visible per person, team or department
  • See where there's room for new projects
  • Prevent overload through smart distribution

Smart integrations with your other systems

vPlan integrates seamlessly with Exact Online, AFAS, SnelStart and other Dutch ERP and accounting systems. Orders, projects, and hours are synchronised automatically, no duplicate work or errors.

Asana lacks direct integrations with Dutch systems; custom solutions or third-party apps are often required.

  • Integrations with ERP, accounting and CRM
  • Fewer errors through automatic synchronisation
  • Complete insight into projects and post-calculation

From project overview to complete overview

Whether you want to track a single employee or get a full picture of all projects, vPlan offers the right view. Work with boards, timelines or lists, fully visual and flexible.

Asana mainly uses separate boards per project, which makes it easier to lose context when managing multiple workflows.

  • One visual board for alle projects
  • Quickly switch between detail and overview
  • Complete overview, even with growing teams

Security and data in safe hands

With vPlan, you know exactly where your data is stored. Your data is securely stored in ISO-27001-certified data centres, fully compliant with GDPR guidelines.

Asana, on the other hand, is an American platform; data can be processed in the US or elsewhere in the EU, depending on the settings. For many organisations, this is a significant compliance risk.

  • Hosting and processing in the EU
  • Fully GDPR compliant
  • ISO 27001 certified security

Record everything in one place, from time to document

In vPlan, you not only keep track of the planning but you also track time, progress and documents directly on your project or task.

From time registrations to attachments and extra fields, everything is linked to the project, so that execution and reporting come together in one system. Asana only offers time registrations via external integrations or in the higher subscriptions.

  • Time registration directly on tasks or projects
  • Attachments, notes and forms in one place
  • Additional fields for reports and post-calculation

One platform for all your processes

vPlan is more than just a project management tool. Use it for all planning within your organisation, from marketing and consultancy to production and field service.

You decide how each planning board looks and what information you want to keep track of. This way, vPlan adapts to your way of working, whether you are a service company, production department or government organisation.

  • Flexible boards for every type of process
  • Suitable for the office, workplace and field service
  • Easy to adapt to your workflow

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between vPlan and Asana?

Asana focuses primarily on task management and collaboration. vPlan goes further, focusing on planning, capacity and execution. With vPlan, you can nog only organise tasks, but also manage availability, workload and progress within single visual environment.

Is vPlan a good alternative to Asana?

Yes, definitely. vPlan is ideal for teams that want more than just to tick off tasks. It combines visual planning, capacity management, time registration and local integrations with Dutch software such as AFAS, Exact and SnelStart. In addition, vPlan is available entirely in Dutch, including the interface, documentation and support.

Why should I switch from Asana to vPlan?

Asana is useful for organising work, but as soon as you really want to plan based on capacity and gain insight into availability, you will quickly find it lacking. vPlan offers overview, realistic planning and automation thanks to links with your existing systems. What's more, you get personal support in English.

Can I also display my plan visually in vPlan, like in Asana?

Yes, and even more flexibly. In vPlan, you can use different views within a single planning: timeline, calendar, list or Kanban board. This allows you to view the same data in multiple ways and create the overview that suits your team.
