Transforming Project Performance with Wrench SmartProject
Reliance Industries is one of India’s largest companies, with operations spanning hydrocarbon exploration and production, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals, retail, and telecommunications.
Reliance, one of the world’s largest industrial conglomerates, faced a critical challenge: despite running massive, high-value projects, its teams were still relying on Excel for reporting and monitoring. The result was delays, inefficiencies, and a lack of real-time insights needed to keep projects on track.
The Challenge
- Reporting was manual and slow, limiting the ability to act quickly.
- No role-based processes made it difficult to enforce accountability.
- Vast amounts of unstructured project data were left untapped, hampering forecasting and corrective action.
The Turning Point
Reliance turned to Wrench SmartProject as an integrated performance monitoring system—bringing together schedule, cost, data, and people into one intelligent platform.
