Case Study: Carlsberg Group achieves a full man-year saving on a major automation project with Planview ProjectPlace

Carlsberg saves one full man-year by using Projectplace

Carlsberg Group faced one of Denmark’s largest automation challenges at its Fredericia plant: replacing control systems and building a new software solution to manage 12,000 valves and pumps across a consortium of ten companies with an 18‑month deadline. To coordinate cross‑border teams and suppliers, Carlsberg used Planview ProjectPlace’s cloud-based platform, primarily its Document Management and Online Meetings tools.

Planview ProjectPlace delivered a common, easy-to-adopt collaboration platform with version control and online meetings that brought up to 40 users from multiple countries online quickly, simplified document handling, and kept the project focused on delivery rather than technology. The result: the ZORBA project finished on schedule, over 95% of the software ran optimally within two months of each stage, and, according to Carlsberg, Planview ProjectPlace helped save a full man‑year on the project.
