“We had a large, complex software project which required experienced and highly skilled software engineers. We are very happy we chose CCQ Tech and work with them to this day.” – John Woodhouse, CEO

Challenge

The Woodhouse Partnership SALVO DST Project

TWPL required expert guidance to develop complex and sophisticated software that would support its consultancy operations. The task involved translating proprietary decision-mapping processes, advanced engineering calculus, and algorithmic approaches to asset management data and workflows into a comprehensive software product.

The software needed to encapsulate TWPL’s intellectual property in decision mapping, enabling organisations managing large industrial assets to answer high-stakes questions such as:

  • “When should I replace my ageing asset?”
  • “What is the optimal approach for doing so?”

 

Solution: Consultancy & Software Development

The Woodhouse Partnership SALVO ProjectCCQ Tech developed a market-leading, data-driven Decision Support Tool (DST), which TWPL now licenses to its clients as part of the cross-industry “SALVO” project

We ensured the DST solution was modular, empowering owners of industrial assets to improve decision-making processes across multiple dimensions, including managing spare parts inventories, determining inspection schedules, and planning maintenance or replacements. These decisions can represent values of hundreds of millions of dollars.

To enhance usability, CCQ created customisable Business Intelligence (BI) dashboards, providing seamless access to critical insights. Additionally, we assumed responsibility for an existing codebase, gradually rewriting it to deliver a scalable, fit-for-purpose application.
