The Operating System For Your Entire Turnaround Organization
STOworx gives turnaround leaders visibility across planning, readiness, work packs, execution, PSSR, and closeout so risks, bottlenecks, and delays can be identified before they impact the event.
The Core Responsibility
Visibility Is The Job
Turnaround leaders are ultimately responsible for outcomes they do not personally execute.
Success depends on understanding what is happening across planning, work packs, readiness, contractors, field execution, and startup preparation.
The challenge is not a lack of information.
The challenge is turning information into operational visibility.
The most successful turnaround leaders are not managing execution alone. They are managing the thousands of planning, readiness, coordination, and decision-making activities that determine whether execution succeeds.
STOworx helps leaders understand where attention is required before issues become schedule impacts.
The Real Challenge
Managing Work Is Easy.
Managing People Is Hard.
Every turnaround has thousands of tasks.
Most software focuses on managing the tasks.
Turnaround leaders manage something far more complex.
People.
Teams.
Contractors.
Operations.
Engineering.
Vendors.
Stakeholders.
The challenge is not simply tracking work.
The challenge is ensuring the right people are aligned around the right work at the right time.
STOworx combines work management and team management into a single operational framework.

The Problem
You Shouldn't Need A Meeting To Discover A Problem
Status chasing is the hidden tax of turnaround management. When progress requires a phone call, decisions slow down.
Readiness milestones get assessed under pressure at the end — not tracked continuously throughout planning and execution.
When accountability depends on personal follow-up, things fall through the gaps between disconnected systems.
Turnaround leaders spend time assembling a picture of reality instead of acting on it.
The largest portion of the turnaround workforce often sits outside the organization. When contractors, vendors, planners, and operations teams work from different information, execution consistency suffers.
Turnaround teams often discover issues when they surface in execution, even though the root cause originated weeks or months earlier during planning or readiness.
STOworx surfaces operational reality automatically — so leaders can spend time acting on it, not assembling it.

What You Get
What STOworx Gives Turnaround Leaders
Turnaround leaders need visibility across every phase of the event without building that visibility themselves.
Operational Visibility
See planning progress, readiness status, execution performance, contractor activity, and startup readiness — including risks, bottlenecks, and emerging issues — without assembling information manually.
- Live planning dashboards
- At-risk deliverable identification
- Field execution status
- PSSR progress visibility
Team Alignment
Alignment only works when everyone participates. STOworx enables full contractor, vendor, operations, engineering, and planning involvement without per-user licensing barriers.
- Unlimited users
- Contractors & vendors included
- Single source of truth

Accountability
Ownership is visible. Responsibilities are clear. Stalled activities surface automatically. Leaders identify overdue items without manual follow-up.
- Named ownership on every task
- Visible completion status
- Escalation when items stall

Operational Automation
Routine coordination should not require manual effort. STOworx automates notifications, reminders, escalations, workflow progression, status collection, and ownership updates.
- Automated notifications
- Escalation workflows
- Status collection
- Workflow progression
Readiness Confidence
Track readiness continuously throughout the event rather than assessing readiness at the end.
- Continuous readiness tracking
- Milestone status visibility
- Early gap identification
- No last-minute surprises
Executive Reporting
Translate operational activities into executive-level progress, readiness, milestone, and risk reporting automatically — based on the work being performed, not manually assembled summaries.
- Automated status roll-up
- Milestone & risk reporting
- Reduced reporting burden
- No manual assembly
Where Leaders Create Capacity
Where Leaders Create Capacity
The largest cost in turnaround management is rarely software. It is leadership time spent chasing information, reconciling conflicting status reports, coordinating disconnected teams, and manually assembling operational visibility.
Less Status Chasing
Reduce time spent collecting updates.
Faster Decisions
Act on operational reality rather than assembling it first.
Earlier Intervention
Identify problems before they impact schedule.
Less Administrative Overhead
Automate routine coordination, notifications, reminders, and workflow management.
Better visibility does not simply improve reporting. It improves decision quality, leadership effectiveness, and organizational efficiency.

Leadership.
STOworx ensures every group works from current, trusted information while maintaining clear ownership and accountability.
"One source of truth for the contractors to act on."

Voices From The Field
What Leaders Value Most
The strongest feedback we receive is not about software functionality.
It is about visibility, accountability, consistency, and operational control.
"The benefit is in standardizing the approach and making it instantly visible who owns what and what's complete versus incomplete."
— Turnaround Manager
"Everything ties together, everything is traceable."
— Shutdown Manager
"When the PSSR module came online, we went from downtime caused by lost documents to nearly none."
— Operations Lead
Turnaround leaders should not have to assemble reality before making decisions.
