Available in: Francais | English | Deutsch | Italiano | Espanol | Polski

1. What is PunchLink?

PunchLink is the first French Completion Management platform dedicated to industrial projects (SMEs and mid-market). Construction, revamping, decarbonation, maintenance: PunchLink centralizes progress, orders, payments, punch lists, EHS, As-Built dossier, meeting minutes, and documentation in a single tool.

Built by an industrial veteran for industrial users (20+ years of field experience), PunchLink replaces project Excel files, scanned Word meeting minutes, and manual As-Built compilation. It complements (without replacing) your existing tools: office Excel, Outlook, MS Project, Autodesk ACC, SAP, your corporate DMS.

Three things that set PunchLink apart

  • Industry-specialized: neither a generic DMS, nor US mega-project Procore. Built for European industrial SMEs.
  • AI-native: first French professional tool connected to AI (Claude, Copilot, Cowork, ChatGPT) via the MCP standard.
  • Monthly, no commitment: from EUR 199/month, EU hosting (GDPR), data kept for life.

2. Plans

PunchLink offers 5 flat-fee plans. Everything is included in every plan, including the MCP connector. What differs is the user cap, the number of sites and how you buy. Users = your team: employees, external consultants and reinforcements included. Contractors, subcontractors and inspection bodies you invite: free and unlimited. You can change plan at any time via Settings > My subscription.

6. MCP connector (Claude / Copilot / Cowork)

The MCP connector lets you pilot your projects in natural language from your preferred AI assistant. Included in every plan at no extra cost.

Concretely, you can ask:

> Give me a full audit of project REVAMP-2026
> What's my EHS situation this week?
> Create a punch item: corrosion mark on bend 12 line EP-401
> Compile my weekly exec report
> Which orders are pending payment from contractor X?
> Generate the final As-Built for the Piping lot

AI never invents: it queries PunchLink's database and cites its sources (table, row_id, timestamp). Full audit trail. Data hosted in Ireland (EU), full GDPR compliance.

3-minute setup for Claude Desktop, Cowork, GitHub Copilot or Cursor. Full guide: https://www.punchlink.app/ai-guide.html
