Case Study: Visser & Smit Hanab achieves streamlined, mobile collaboration and faster quotation preparation with Planview ProjectPlace

Visser & Smit Hanab - Customer Case Study

Visser & Smit Hanab, a 1,600‑employee installation contractor in the VolkerWessels group working on complex projects like a 37 km undersea power cable, needed a secure virtual workplace to prepare long, collaborative quotations and manage documents across multiple partner locations. To eliminate duplicate queries, track document edits and readership, and keep milestones and deadlines visible to all stakeholders, they turned to Planview ProjectPlace.

Planview ProjectPlace delivered a ready‑made digital workplace that can be set up in about 15 minutes without an administrator, enabling simultaneous document editing with full version history, red‑flag alerts for amended files, readership tracking, on‑screen newsletters and shared milestone tracking. As a result, Visser & Smit Hanab gained improved collaboration and archive capability, fewer repeated questions during months‑long quotation processes, and clearer visibility of deadlines and responsibilities.
