Case Study: Global Wind Service achieves 10–20% more projects with 10% fewer technicians with Saviom Software

How to Run 10% More Projects with 10% Less Staff

Global Wind Service (GWS), a Denmark‑based installer and maintainer of onshore and offshore wind turbines operating in 30+ countries with over 500 engineers, struggled to coordinate resources using multiple, manually updated Excel spreadsheets. The fragmented approach made it hard to enforce a single template, get a real‑time view of allocations, forecast demand or align projects to sales, so GWS turned to Saviom Software and its Saviom Resource Planning solution to replace Excel with a purpose‑built resource management system.

Saviom Software deployed Saviom Resource Planning, quickly implementing features like multi‑parameter personnel profiles (some engineers had 30+ certifications) to give a single, unified view of staffing and bookings. The rollout reduced reliance on spreadsheets, improved forecasting and scheduling, and—within about six months—GWS was running roughly 10–20% more projects with about 10% fewer technicians, eliminating idle staff and significantly increasing efficiency.
