ENOC: Engineering & Timesheet Automation with Wrench SmartProject
Emirates National Oil Corporation (ENOC) is a globally diversified energy group operating across the entire energy sector value chain.
The Challenge
ENOC, a leading energy player, wanted more than just document control—they needed a system that could eliminate human errors, improve engineering performance, and fully automate timesheet management. Key challenges included:
- Progress tracking tied to a manual Master Document List (MDL) and constant follow-ups.
- Files stored on a LAN without version control, making it hard to identify the latest updates.
- No standard numbering system, making document search and retrieval a nightmare.
- Emails, letters, and faxes stored separately from project documents.
- Local storage of admin information, with no real-time sharing.
- Manual creation of transmittals and template updates, often leading to costly rework.
- Timesheets tracked in spreadsheets, requiring extensive manual entry and approvals before billing.
The Turning Point
To bring order, automation, and real-time accuracy across projects, ENOC implemented Wrench SmartProject as their engineering and timesheet management solution.
The Solution
- Document Management
- Standardized storage and version control with logical numbering and searchable metadata.
- Automated workflows for reviews, approvals, and audit enforcement.
- PDF-based commenting and consolidated review cycles.
- Automated transmittal generation with Outlook integration.
- Archival of completed projects for safe, future reuse.
- Timesheet Automation
- Online timesheet module for project- and deliverable-specific hours.
- Real-time submission, approval, and billing directly through the system.
- Configurable reports on working hours, project allocation, and approvals.
“Project Management is all about improving the overall quality and efficiency of project delivery. In our vision to evolve into a Centre for Excellence and to gear up strengthening our portfolios, we needed an advanced engineering management tool like WRENCH. I thank the ENOC and WRENCH team for a remarkable on-time successful implementation.”
The Results
- Automated project creation from service requests.
- Simpler handling of multiple concurrent projects with archival/retrieval for reuse.
- Reduced storage space waste through version control and standardized folders.
- Faster document search, retrieval, and real-time updates.
- Improved billing visibility with automated timesheet tracking and approval.
