30th July 2021, India: Deepak Nitrite Limited, the Indian chemical manufacturing company with manufacturing facilities at Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Telangana, which produces a spectrum of chemicals, including agrochemicals, colourants, rubber, pharmaceuticals, and speciality & fine chemicals, has adopted Wrench SmartProject as its digital platform for project management and monitoring.

As part of the digital transformation of their operations, the Deepak Group had hired KPMG to oversee the execution of the digitisation initiative. They chose to implement Wrench SmartProject for all their projects currently in execution, after an intensive evaluation of almost six months, after which it was decided to go with SmartProject because it best suited their requirements for an integrated project monitoring system. SmartProject is slated to be used in monitoring all the new projects in Deepak Nitrite and Deepak Phenolics.

Said Harish Parihar, Wrench, “This is a great example of how digital systems improve collaboration in projects. We have Toyo (who are already using SmartProject on their own projects) as the Engineering Consultant who will be issuing drawings directly from their designs, we have the review process being completely managed, including monitoring and control, by Deepak (with Wrench managing all the processes and deliverables and SmartProject being fully integrated with Deepaks’ Oracle ERP system), and as regards the dashboards and controls, we have KPMG providing all the inputs and Wrench doing the configuration of the system.”

The implementation is being completed on a very fast track basis with a timeline of just 40 days. So far the engineering and procurement phases of the implementation has been completed, in just 15 days, with the construction aspects now under implementation.
