The plant runs on spreadsheets.
It shouldn't.

Picasso Analytics builds custom operational tools that wrap around the workflows your teams already run — replacing brittle workbooks with connected, accessible systems shaped by decades of in-plant experience.

Hydro-test —
↳ 01
One source of truth
Schedule, scope, permits and cost live in the same system — not in tabs, not in inboxes.
↳ 02
Built for the field
Accessible from a tablet at the unit, a laptop in the war room, a phone in the pickup.
↳ 03
Auditable by design
Every change carries a who, when and why. No more asking which copy is current.
§ 02 — Origin

Built by people who spent twenty years walking the units.

I've sat in enough war rooms to know the difference between software that was designed for the plant and software that was sold to it. We built Picasso to be the first kind.”

Shipping it as a product.
Because every plant we visited was fighting the same ghost — and they shouldn't have to build it themselves.
§ 03 — What We Build

We don't sell a platform. We build the tool that fits the workflow you already run.

Every plant is shaped by its people, its history, its assets. We start with your workflow — not a product roadmap — and build the software around it. A sampling of domains we've scoped and shipped in:

DOMAIN 01
Scope & Planning
Scope development, work packaging and planning flows — the binders and tabs, converted to a system your planners actually want to open.
DOMAIN 02
Schedule Management
P6 integration with a modern front end for statusing, variance and metrics — the source of truth stays in P6; the experience stops fighting you.
DOMAIN 03
Estimating & Cost Controls
EVM, custom WBS structures, and cost roll-ups that mirror how your estimators and controls teams actually think — not a generic template.
DOMAIN 04
Material Management
Requisitions, receipts, staging and reservations — tied to scope and schedule so the right parts are at the right unit on the right day.
DOMAIN 05
Inspection Management
Inspection plans, findings and follow-up work — captured in the field, linked back to the asset, surfaced when the next turnaround is scoped.
DOMAIN 06
Proposal, CRM & more
Proposal management, customer relationship tooling, bid controls — the business-side workflows that run the shop are just as worth building for.
§ 04 — Approach

We deploy the way refineries build — in phases, under pressure, with the doors open.

PHASE 01
Walk the hallways
We spend time on-site understanding the workflow. We meet the schedulers, the planners, the reliability leads. We read the workbooks.
PHASE 02
Mirror before we replace
We model your actual workflow inside Picasso — your naming, your stages, your gates — before the first retirement.
PHASE 03
Retire one workbook at a time
No flag-day migrations. Workbooks retire when the team using them trusts the replacement more than the original.
PHASE 04
Live alongside the work
We're in your war rooms during turnarounds. Our team answers — not a ticket queue.
§ 05 — A Handshake

Let's walk your unit before we show you a product.

Send us the workbook that keeps you up at night. We'll spend thirty minutes with it, then show you what the first ninety days on Picasso would look like — without the pitch.
