iPlanSTO follows industry-recognized best practice methodology for the performance of successful STOs. If formal methodology processes aren’t in place, people tend to take shortcuts, best practices and lessons learned get lost, and, more importantly, key steps or procedures can get skipped completely. iPlanSTO provides the capability and visibility supporting the following:
• STO Definition and Scope
• Preparation, Organization, Planning
• Execution
• Startup and Turnover
• Evaluation
iPlanSTO has the power to implement best practice methodologies with the flexibility to align to your culture and corporate policy and methods.
With everyone involved in your STO using the same piece of software, you standardize your STO / TAR methodology, ensuring all personnel involved in your next STO are scoping, planning, estimating, and delivering work in the same way, and you have a true picture of your STO planning and execution status.
iPlanSTO comes with an onsite mobile app (iPlanMobile to capture scope when planning your event and capture live progress when executing your shutdown.
Unlike our competitors, our mobile app comes at no extra cost to your iPlanSTO license and runs on all current operating systems and browsers, so you can continue to use your existing smartphones or tablets, saving you further investment.
iPlanSTO can be interfaced with SAP, Maximo, IFS, Dynamics, Oracle, 4PS, and other Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), CMMS, or ERP solutions to receive work order details. From that point on, your personnel do not have to interface with your ERP: they can do everything they need to do in iPlan, and iPlan will automatically update your ERP through a rule base we agree on together prior to going live.
iPlanSTO is loaded with the following norms for activity duration estimation:
As well as the ability for you to modify or add your own norms!
We believe in transparency and building trust from day one. This is why we show pricing information for all products on our site. We don’t make up the price based on what we think you can afford - the software price is the same for all organizations in the iPlan community.
The iPlanSTO Completions Module allows you to easily manage all activities between maintenance reinstatement and commissioning – including hold points, punch lists, and process system readiness. Plant startup requires the effective combination of qualified personnel, testing equipment, and fully validated systems. Plant reinstatement is a critical point for restarting your plant successfully and on time.
iPlanSTO is packed with features specifically designed to support plant shutdown processes. We’ve perfected these over almost 20 years by managing the software’s usage on hundreds of STOs.
Book a Free DemoWe ensure that all personnel involved in your next STO are scoping, planning, estimating, and delivering work consistently.
Create unlimited work pack templates to publish your activities as you require. You can have different work packs for each trade or plant area or just one work pack design for your entire STO.
Norms allow accurate estimation of the duration of shutdown activities, without having to be a plant engineer or experienced planner. Estimates are created using the same baseline data for activity duration meaning you can compare one job to another with confidence.
Scope development and management is critical to ensuring work management efficiency and meeting reliability goals. Have work order estimates and bills of materials peer reviewed and electronically approved within the software, eradicating unapproved work.
Users can receive email notifications for key actions, such as approving a cost estimate. Processes normally stalled due to communication visibility are a thing of the past!
The Completions Module allows you to easily manage all activities between maintenance reinstatement and commissioning – including hold points, punch lists, and process system readiness.
Publish your schedule details from iPlan in your scheduling software. These can include any information held in iPlan but typically contain work order, activity, duration, and dependency details.
Every change made is logged in a comprehensive revision history, preventing a blame culture and ensuring that critical information is not missed.
iPlanSTO comes with an onsite mobile app to capture scope when planning your event and capture live progress when executing your shutdown.
iPlanSTO allows users to understand their event progress, risks, spend, and productivity at a glance. It is designed to run on a tablet or PC and for use on large touchscreens in project management offices and conference rooms.
iPlanSTO enables you to estimate, hire, inspect, and manage scaffold equipment and structures, sharing the information in real time with any user.
Measure the productivity ratio of all personnel delivering your STO. Only once you know your productivity can you begin to improve it.
The inventory of joints should be permanently stored so that their history can be tracked and each joint linked back to any agreed piping specification.
Evaluate by mathematical simulation whether your scope is achievable in the time the plant is going to be switched off by using the Monte Carlo risk model prior to performing (and investing in) detailed planning.
Interface with SAP, Maximo, IFS, Dynamics, Oracle, and 4PS to receive work order details. From that point on, your personnel do not have to interface with your ERP: iPlan can automatically update the work order status in your ERP.
We often find that our customers have a good STO methodology but haven’t managed to find a software system that follows the same process. Typically, iPlan automatically aligns to most organizations existing STO methodology

Why license per seat when you can license your STO, your entire site, or your entire company and contract support team - we don’t limit the number of users who can access the software, enabling you to have everyone work on your STO in the same system!
