How the Prince George refinery hit all 3 of their objects for the first time
To complete a recent turnaround, the Tidewater team scaled up its workforce from 30 contractors to 600 across 10 vendors with their own contracts, schedules, and relationships to manage.
Erik Sullivan, Turnaround Manager at Tidewater, identified the top three challenges:
- Verifying manual pay-per-time tickets to support project planning and cost and risk avoidance in a timely manner.
- Reconciling the details of every contract to reduce discrepancies and overspending.
- Avoiding spending overlaps with contractors shared between the turnaround and a large green capital project running simultaneously.
With PayShepherd, they achieved the rare goal of hitting all three of their objectives with the turnaround being completed on time, on schedule, with no lost-time incidents.
“PayShepherd eliminates the big problem of ensuring all contractual rates are checked. Their pre-certified invoices give me confidence that contractors were on-site for the time invoiced and didn’t violate any rules we set up. ”

Modernized budget monitoring
Keep your maintenance project on budget by tracking burn rate in real time. Compare your current spend against the budget to proactively forecast and address any potential overruns.
