Business case

Aramco is a leading producer of energy and chemicals products, one of its subsidiaries in the US carries out research and development in petrochemical manufacturing.  They implemented Planisware in their R&D, budgeting, and Purchase orders departments to streamline their processes.

Aramco US approached i2e Consulting to assist in the customization of Planisware in order to fulfill their business needs. Our team was quick to understand their requirements and designed various modules and workflows within Planisware. As a result, Aramco was able to link project milestones to orders, streamline some of their R&D operations, manage their HSE incidents and keep track of their KPIs.

The client also wanted to go for a third-party reporting tool for better user experience and extensive reports. They wanted this tool to be embedded within Planisware, so the users need not go elsewhere to generate reports.

Our solution

US Aramco had certain business specific requirements, and our team was able to configure various modules within Planisware to fulfill their needs.

Some of the modules we created for US Aramco include

Instrument Management Module  This module helped the R&D department to modify the workflow process of instrument usage across the company. This module allowed users to request a particular instrument from the owner. The team also created an overview page to show the usage report of all instruments.

HSE Management Module  Aramco was able to report and track their HSE (Health, Safety Environment) incidents through this module. It also consisted of a dashboard to have an overview of all the HSE incidents.

Key Performance Indicator Module  We collated all their KPIs which included technologies, milestones, publications, journals etc. Our team modified the existing KPIs to suit their business needs and brought it under one single module.

Reporting module  The team integrated Power BI into Planisware, resulting in users generating comprehensive reports within Planisware.
