Solving what keeps EU&R leaders up at night

The utilities landscape is changing. Are your systems keeping up?

In the energy, utilities and resources (EU&R) sector, expectations are high and the pressure is relentless. From natural events like flooding and drought to shifts in government policies, the challenges are complex and constant. You’re managing ageing grid infrastructure and integrating new technologies, all while decarbonising operations and adapting to consumer-centric, greener strategies. At the same time, you’re dealing with climate-related risks, soil and environmental impacts, and the unpredictability of renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

At Platned, we understand what keeps EU&R organisations up at night. We’ve worked with water companies, energy providers, and infrastructure operators across oil and gas, mining, and natural gas sectors to address these exact issues. That’s why we combine technical expertise with sector-specific strategies through IFS Cloud™ – supported by Mahara, ParsaAI, and Platned Gateway – to help you modernise with confidence, stay compliant, and strengthen performance.

Deliver on your decarbonisation goals

The move to clean energy is essential, but it adds new complexity. Hybrid energy portfolios require seamless integration of renewables with legacy assets, creating challenges in resource and material substitution, system monitoring, and regulatory compliance. Platned helps you manage this transformation with IFS Cloud™ tools that provide end-to-end visibility and enable adaptability and innovation.

By giving your teams real-time control over both legacy and renewable energy sources, you stay aligned with sustainability targets without sacrificing performance or reliability.

Build infrastructure that withstands disruption

EU&R organisations face growing risks from natural disasters and urbanisation. Whether it’s asset failures from extreme weather or surges in demand driven by city expansion, the cost of downtime is high. That’s why resilience must be built into every layer of your operations.

Platned configures IFS Cloud™ with predictive maintenance and asset performance tools to monitor system health. Alerts and dashboards give your skilled project team the data needed to prevent failures, extend asset life, and reduce emergency interventions.

Strengthen your supply chain response

Whether sourcing parts for emergency repairs or securing long-term components for infrastructure projects, EU&R supply chains face ongoing pressure. Resource shortages, transport delays, and material costs all threaten delivery timelines and budgets.

Platned enables seamless procurement and supply chain visibility in IFS Cloud™, helping you track vendors, forecast demand, and react quickly to changes. This supports waste elimination and helps you maintain project momentum, even in crisis scenarios.

Preserve critical knowledge and build a future-ready team

As seasoned engineers and technicians retire, the risk of knowledge loss rises. Without proper handover, key insights into processes, regulations, and systems can disappear. This is especially risky when stakeholder management spans clients, contractors, suppliers, and regulators.

Platned supports structured documentation and workflow templates in IFS Cloud™, ensuring that critical knowledge is retained. With mobile tools and consistent practices, every team – from back office to the field – operates at a higher standard.

Improve forecasting accuracy and manage grid stability

Forecasting has become more complex with the rise of digitisation, climate change, and decentralised energy sources. Demand can spike without warning due to temperature shifts, consumption patterns, or environmental conditions.

Platned uses IFS Cloud™ to support automated forecasting and grid stability strategies. By modelling trends and simulating changes, your team can balance loads and maintain consistent delivery, reducing risk and enhancing financial performance.

Upgrade systems without disrupting operations

Change is necessary – but it shouldn’t come at the cost of stability. Whether it’s a patch, upgrade or configuration change, every adjustment carries risk.

That’s why Platned developed Mahara, our automated testing platform for IFS Cloud™. Mahara simulates your critical business processes in a secure environment, helping identify potential issues before they impact live operations. This reduces the risks associated with system changes and supports compliance by providing a detailed test history.

Support financial goals with smarter back-office processes

Financial management is just as critical as field execution. Yet many teams still rely on manual processes for invoicing, approvals, and tracking costs. This introduces delays and makes it harder to hit financial objectives.

ParsaAI, Platned’s document automation tool, fully integrates with IFS Cloud™ to streamline invoicing and improve financial visibility. It reduces errors, flags anomalies, and speeds up payment cycles – freeing your finance team to focus on strategy, not data entry.

Get flexible, expert support that grows with your business

Modernisation isn’t a one-time event. EU&R organisations must continuously adapt to regulatory, environmental, and market changes. Platned’s Gateway support model gives you access to expert help when and where you need it – from reporting and training to reconfiguration and change management.

This token-based system allows your team to scale support alongside your project management needs, keeping your systems aligned with evolving business goals.

The future of EU&R is connected, resilient and efficient

Platned empowers EU&R organisations to embrace change without fear. With IFS Cloud™, you gain the tools to manage climate-related risks, improve stakeholder management, and drive performance across oil and gas, mining, and natural gas operations.

By combining financial management, risk management, and project management with sector-specific innovation, Platned helps you deliver results across the board – with confidence.
