Case Study: Maersk improves resource planning and portfolio management with Tempus Resource by ProSymmetry

Maersk - Customer Case Study

Maersk, the global logistics company, needed a better way to manage a rapidly growing portfolio of implementation projects and resource demands across North America. After its acquisition and continued expansion, Chris Thompson’s team outgrew Microsoft Project because it was built around fixed start and end dates, while Maersk needed a tool that could support ongoing portfolio and resource planning. ProSymmetry’s Tempus Resource was chosen to help track projects and forecast staffing needs in a more dynamic environment.

With Tempus Resource from ProSymmetry, Maersk gained a purpose-built platform for resource forecasting, capacity planning, bulk allocation, and scenario analysis. Thompson’s team uses Tempus to plan two to three months ahead, visualize resource curves, and adjust staffing before shortages occur, helping them manage a portfolio that can range from 15 projects to hundreds. The result has been stronger visibility into upcoming demand, better justification of staffing levels to leadership, and faster, more confident decisions as project volume and global shipping conditions change.
