Case Study: Oryx Energies achieves real-time project visibility and streamlined operations across Africa with Smartsheet

Oryx Energies uses Smartsheet to enhance project visibility, streamline operations and expansion across Africa

Oryx Energies, one of Africa’s largest independent energy providers operating across 17 sub‑Saharan countries, needed to deliver ORYZON22/ENERGIZE, a three‑year strategic growth plan. Relying on fragmented Excel files made it difficult to track progress, allocate resources, and align teams across regions, so the company sought an intuitive collaboration platform to centralize project tracking and improve visibility.

Oryx deployed Smartsheet to run the ENERGIZE PMO, using standardized work plans, automated dashboards and fortnightly cadences to surface KPIs, progress and risks in real time. The solution standardized more than 25 projects, streamlined operations, improved cross‑region coordination, and reduced surprises for management and teams—enabling faster issue resolution and clearer delivery against strategic goals.
