Horizon Power, an energy utility serving 2.3 million square kilometers in Western Australia, replaced fragmented project tools with Planview's project portfolio management solution. The 12-week remote implementation during COVID-19 lockdowns created a single source of truth for 200+ projects valued at AUD $100M. The system supports Earned Value metrics (CPI/SPI), executive dashboards, and standardized reporting across six divisions.

Key takeaways

Consolidated multiple project tools into one PPM platform, decommissioning three legacy systems

Delivered full implementation in 12 weeks under remote-work constraints during COVID-19

Enabled real-time Earned Value analysis (CPI and SPI) for timely project performance tracking

Standardized project lifecycles and reporting across six business divisions managing AUD $100M portfolio

Reduced reporting cycle time while improving data accuracy for government compliance requirements

Supplier and Third-Party Risk Software

This software monitors supplier financial health, screens for sanctions and forced labor exposure, and maps supply networks below tier one. Its value rests almost entirely on the quality of the data underneath it, which is the part buyers examine last. The interface is not the product; the data sources are.

Transportation Management Systems

A TMS decides and executes how freight moves. A visibility platform only observes movement already underway. A 3PL running managed transportation is an operating model, not a different kind of software. These three are routinely confused in the same evaluation, and the confusion is getting worse as vendors on each side move into the others' territory.

Supply Chain Visibility vs Traceability

Visibility tells you where something is now. Traceability tells you where a specific lot came from and where every unit of it went. They require different data, cost different amounts, and are triggered by different pressures: operations and customer service on one side, regulation and recall on the other.
