“Milestones is really a breath of fresh air compared to how we worked before. The project management is simple and the flexibility is huge."

 “With capacity management in ProjectFlow we get an overview on the management of how many projects we can run at a time, and when.”

"Now that we've been working with Fortes, we really invested in working together as a team. We are now reaping the benefits of that." 

Yvonne Tack, Project Manager, Municipality of Tilburg

“Milestones has delivered significant efficiencies to xxllnc, both in terms of cost savings and in terms of human commitment. We achieved this mainly because we were able to optimize all our processes." 

Wolter Kreun, Chief Operations Officer xxllnc 

 “The management gets the right information for the meetings, and ProjectFlow 365 is just as much a tool for the project managers to prioritize in everyday life."

“ProjectFlow 365 is more intuitive and scaled to what we need.”

“ProjectFlow creates overview and is actively used by the employees on a daily basis. It's not just a management tool. It creates value in the daily operations for everyone.” 

"With Fortes we can finally see where the bottlenecks are and what are the consequences of the agreements we make."

Hans Ooms, Project Leader and Controller, LVNL

"Vi har integreret ProjectFlow 365 tæt med vores økonomisystem og Office 365, så vi har én samlet tilgang til styring – og information om – vores projekter."

"What made us decide to go back to Milestones was that it was not only faster and easier than the solution we were using, but it was the personal relationship that stayed with us." 

Egbert Vos, financial controller BDO Dutch Caribbean

AI at Fortes

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing how organizations work. For Fortes, AI is not about experimenting with isolated tools or adding features for the sake of innovation. It is about strengthening professional decision‑making, while maintaining trust, control and compliance.

That is why we take a clear, deliberate approach to AI.

Our principles

Context first, not AI first

We do not build generic AI features.

AI at Fortes is designed as part of the workflow, understanding the situation, the role of the user and the domain‑specific rules that apply.

Human in control

Professionals remain responsible for decisions.

AI provides insights, suggestions and automation where appropriate always with the ability to understand, verify and intervene.

Safe, responsible and explainable

AI must be trustworthy.

Our approach aligns with European regulations and standards, including GDPR and the EU AI Act. Transparency, traceability and data protection are fundamental requirements not optional extras.

Why Fortes is well‑positioned for AI

For over 25 years, Fortes has been building software for managing strategy, projects, resources, time and finances. This domain knowledge is essential for applying AI in a meaningful and reliable way.

Our solutions cover connected workflows across planning, execution and control. This integrated foundation enables AI to support professionals across their entire work cycle, rather than in isolated steps.

As a European software provider, Fortes designs AI with data protection, sovereignty and compliance in mind from the start. This is increasingly critical for organizations operating in regulated environments.

What we do not believe in

  • Black‑box AI that cannot be explained
  • Generic AI tools disconnected from professional workflows
  • Innovation without governance or responsibility

AI should strengthen professional work, not complicate it.

Looking ahead

AI at Fortes is not a standalone feature.

It is an intelligent layer that supports our software today and evolves responsibly over time.

We will continue to invest in AI that is trustworthy, explainable and grounded in real professional needs, always one step ahead, and always with the professional in control.

Curious what this approach to AI could mean for your organization? We are happy to explore this with you.
