Case Study: Vista-Mustang Corporation achieves faster, more efficient procurement with 4castplus

Major Engineering & Procurement Joint Venture Chooses 4castplus for Mega Energy Projects

Vista-Mustang Corporation, a joint venture between Vista Projects Inc. and Woodgroup-Mustang, needed to replace its aging On Track procurement system as it managed complex oilsands construction projects in northern Alberta. The team had struggled for years with the software and vendor support, and with a costly renewal looming, it needed a faster, more capable solution that could handle large-scale procurement, project controls, budgeting, and reporting.

Vista-Mustang selected 4castplus and implemented its procurement, budgeting, forecasting, and project controls capabilities on a compressed timeline, including migration of thousands of purchase orders, RFQs, receiving and expediting records, budgets, WBS/CBS data, and vendor lists. The rollout went live in January 2014, and despite a few early hiccups, 4castplus delivered rapid fixes and strong support; the procurement team reported the system was easy to use and intuitive, and the company said its goals for improved productivity, lower costs, and better client reporting were achieved.
