Case Study: Costain accelerates project reporting and risk analysis with Nodes & Links

How Costain was able to make data-driven decisions during a fast-paced project using Nodes & Links

Costain, one of the UK’s leading smart infrastructure solutions companies, needed a faster way to manage a highly complex nuclear reactor outage involving more than 22,000 activities in just 45 days. Traditional progress-tracking tools were too slow for the daily reporting cycle, making it hard to identify early warning signs and manage risk in time. To address this, Costain turned to Nodes & Links and its Project Copilot platform.

Nodes & Links helped Costain upload schedule data, quickly generate KPI-based progress reports, prioritize key activities, and track changes in progress and risk so the team could act sooner. The solution enabled reports to be produced and shared within two hours of the daily data drop, saving 210 hours per month, delivering 11x faster reporting, 8x more insights, and a reported 62% ROI. Costain said Nodes & Links helped them get ahead of risk, save time and money, and share actionable insights across teams and up to executive level.
