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

Maersk manages 15+ projects and 2–5 weekly go-lives with ProSymmetry

Maersk, a global logistics leader, faced a challenge managing its rapidly growing portfolio of implementation projects after an acquisition. The team, led by Chris Thompson, was using Microsoft Project, which was ill-suited for ongoing resource and portfolio management as project numbers doubled yearly. They needed a solution focused on resource forecasting and capacity planning to handle the inherent complexity of their operations. This led them to the vendor ProSymmetry and its product Tempus Resource.

ProSymmetry implemented Tempus Resource, a dedicated resource portfolio management solution. It provided Maersk with actionable forecasting, capacity reporting, and scenario planning, allowing the team to visualize resource curves and allocate work efficiently. The results were significant: the team gained control over a large, dynamic project portfolio, could justify staffing levels to management with data, and adapted quickly to global disruptions. Tempus became the essential "enterprise tracker," ensuring on-time project execution and providing clear visibility for leadership.
