Turnaround Success Shouldn't Depend on Who Happens to Be in the Room
SAP manages assets. P6 manages schedules. STOworx manages the operational intelligence between them. Planning decisions. Readiness requirements. Work pack development. Contractor coordination. Execution accountability. The workflows that determine whether a turnaround succeeds or struggles.
The Real Problem
The Problem Isn't Missing Software
Most organizations already have:
- • SAP
- • Maximo
- • Oracle
- • P6
- • SharePoint
The challenge isn't collecting information.
The challenge is transforming information into coordinated action.
Every turnaround depends on thousands of decisions, approvals, deliverables, dependencies, and readiness requirements.
Most organizations manage those relationships manually.
STOworx structures them.
The Knowledge Risk
Your Process Shouldn't Walk Out the Door With Your People
Every turnaround creates knowledge. What worked. What failed. What created delay. What reduced risk.
Too often that knowledge remains trapped in spreadsheets, folders, emails, and individual experience. When people retire, transfer, or move on, the organization loses more than a person. It loses the recipe behind successful execution.
STOworx turns operational experience into repeatable process.
The Real ROI
The Goal Isn't More Activity. It's Better Decisions.
Most turnaround teams are not short on effort. They're short on visibility. Short on time. Short on capacity.
STOworx removes coordination overhead so leaders can focus on decisions, risk management, and execution readiness.
The ROI isn't planner clicks saved. The ROI is operational integrity.
The STOworx Approach
Connect the strategy to the work. Connect the work to the people.
The STOworx Difference
How STOworx Thinks
Turn Strategy Into Execution
Most systems track activities.
STOworx connects organizational objectives to the work required to achieve them.
An executive milestone becomes a readiness requirement.
A readiness requirement becomes an operational deliverable.
An operational deliverable becomes team-level work.
Every task remains connected to the outcome it supports.
When priorities change, leadership immediately understands what work is affected.
When work changes, teams understand what objective is impacted.
That connection creates accountability.

Protect the Knowledge Behind Your Most Important Event
Every turnaround represents millions in spend, lost production, execution risk, and organizational focus. Yet many organizations still rely on a handful of key individuals to hold the process together. When those individuals leave, consistency leaves with them. STOworx preserves the planning intelligence, governance, and operational discipline behind successful turnarounds so every event doesn't have to start from memory.
"The best part of what you offer is consistency, even when a turnaround organization changes."
— VP Operations
"The ability to see turnaround life-cycle status of refinery A, refinery B, refinery C all in one location at once has changed the way our team thinks about turnaround."
— VP Refining
Where Turnarounds Break Down
These aren't software problems. They're workflow problems — and they have a common root: no structure around the work between systems.
Planning Complexity
Planning breaks long before execution does. Hundreds of work packs, thousands of tasks, dozens of contributors, and countless dependencies create a level of complexity spreadsheets were never designed to manage.
Spreadsheet Dependency
Excel works until operational complexity outgrows it. The moment multiple teams, contractors, and work streams depend on the same information, spreadsheet coordination becomes risk management by hope.
Knowledge Loss
When a turnaround manager retires, relocates, or moves roles, their institutional knowledge doesn't transfer automatically. The next event starts from scratch — or from a folder full of files no one understands.
Readiness Risk
Readiness is often treated as a checklist completed under pressure the day before restart. When readiness is uncertain, organizations delay. Delays in restart cost more than the event itself.
Visibility Challenges
Managers shouldn't need meetings to understand reality. When progress requires a phone call, decisions slow down. When status requires a meeting, leadership loses time. Operational visibility is decision-making infrastructure.
Contractor Coordination
Contractors are executing against work packs, instructions, and expectations that may be different from what the planner intended. When contractors don't have the right information, field work stops. Field work stopping costs.

Let's Compare Notes
Every turnaround team is different. Different assets. Different cultures. Different constraints. The goal isn't to force a new process. It's to understand where complexity, coordination, and visibility are creating risk today. Let's compare notes.
