Built by Someone Who's Been There

Purpose-built by a manufacturing PM — not adapted from generic SaaS

Arcturus Pro was founded after years working inside Irish medical device and pharmaceutical PMOs — watching teams waste hours in Excel, miss phase gates, and scramble before audits. Every feature was designed to solve a real problem experienced firsthand in a regulated manufacturing environment.

This isn't a pivot from a generic project tool. It's a ground-up build for the specific governance, compliance, and visibility challenges that manufacturing project teams face every day.

Our Story

John O'Mahony

Founder & CEO, Arcturus Pro

"I built Arcturus Pro because I couldn't find a project management platform that understood the reality of running a PMO inside a regulated Irish manufacturer. Every tool was either too simple for governance or too complex to actually get adopted. We're here to change that."

"Phase gate governance used to mean a mountain of manual documentation before every review. Now our stage gate approvals are 60% faster and our audit trail is always ready. It's the first PM tool that actually understands how regulated industries work."

📈 Result: 60% faster gate reviews

Declan O'Brien

Head of Operations
