SOCAR - iPlanSTO

SOCAR, the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan, selected IAMTech’s iPlanSTO turnaround software to modernise and standardise shutdown planning across its large-scale industrial operations in Türkiye.

The Brief

With four major shutdowns scheduled within two years, SOCAR needed a centralised solution to replace fragmented spreadsheets and improve coordination during critical maintenance windows. Manual processes had created data silos, conflicting reports, and inconsistent planning efforts—making it difficult to maintain accuracy, especially across departments and sites.

To streamline execution and reduce errors, SOCAR required a single source of truth for turnaround planning, real-time mobile access in the field, and reliable integration with Primavera P6 and their SAP ERP system.

The Solution

IAMTech implemented iPlanSTO, enabling SOCAR to manage turnaround events from planning to execution within one centralised system. The software replaced spreadsheets with a unified platform, resolving issues of data duplication and inconsistency.

On-site collaboration between SOCAR, IAMTech, and consultancy partner Carcharadon helped align standardised workflows within iPlanSTO. The platform’s mobile features allowed field teams to access and update work scopes in real time, significantly improving responsiveness during fast-paced turnaround activities.

The system is already delivering measurable value, including improved data integrity, better interdepartmental coordination, and greater confidence in managing future shutdowns.

iPlanSTO has given us the clarity, structure, and tools we needed to manage our turnaround events with more accuracy, mobility, and control.
