Struggling with disjointed processes and unreliable schedules that risked delays and cost overruns, CenterPoint Energy needed a way to regain control. A transformative solution unified teams, sharpened insights, and slashed risks. The result was on-time projects, significant savings, and stronger oversight.
CenterPoint Energy, a powerhouse in U.S. electric transmission and distribution, keeps the lights on for millions across a sprawling, intricate network. Juggling multiple transmission projects at once, the company faced intense pressure to hit deadlines, stay on budget, and keep regulators happy with clear, reliable progress updates.
But their old-school, manual tracking and scattered communication were letting them down, shaking confidence in schedules and risking ripple effects across the grid. CenterPoint needed a smarter, more transparent system to bring clarity and accountability to their project controls.
Project schedules were a mess or sometimes nonexistent. Field crews relied on one person to hand out daily assignments, leading to inconsistent updates that could take weeks to process. This made it nearly impossible to track progress against critical milestones in real time.
Contractors and internal teams worked in silos, using different systems that didn’t talk to each other. This disconnect meant no one had a clear view of schedule health, and when projects started to slip, interventions came too late.
Frequent, haphazard schedule rebaselining muddied the waters further, letting inefficiencies hide behind shifting timelines and making accountability tough to pin down.
Field data was always a step behind, leaving leaders with outdated or incomplete information to make big decisions. Work orders released just 1–2 weeks before construction left no time for competitive bidding, forcing teams into pricey time-and-expense contracts that delayed starts and added more risk.
KYRO AI brought project tracking into the digital age, pulling baseline schedules and live field updates into one clear dashboard. Data from across departments flowed together, automatically highlighting progress against key milestones. This cut out the guesswork of late reports and gave leaders a single, trustworthy source to stay on top of projects.
KYRO AI’s predictive analytics acted like an early warning system, spotting potential disruptions before they could derail projects. By blending historical data with real-time updates, it forecasted schedule risks, letting managers shift resources or plan mitigations to keep things on track.
KYRO AI tightened up schedule changes by allowing rebaselining only at set milestones, not whenever someone felt like it. This brought discipline to the process, ensuring updates reflected real progress and kept everyone accountable without mid-project surprises.
KYRO AI’s dashboards and automated alerts kept everyone in the loop with clear, real-time updates on project health. Metrics like earned value, budget tracking, and schedule variance were always at leaders’ fingertips. Engineering deliverables were monitored for timely completion, and any delays triggered automatic change requests shared with all stakeholders, keeping teams aligned.
KYRO AI’s scheduling and automation tools pushed work order releases way ahead of construction. In just months, release times jumped from 2 weeks to an average of 75 days before work began. This gave contractors time to bid competitively and crews the runway to plan properly, cutting costs and delays.
With KYRO AI, CenterPoint turned a chaotic, reactive scheduling process into a precise, proactive system. The platform delivered end-to-end visibility, sharp predictive insights, and rock-solid accountability, empowering leaders to make smart, timely decisions that kept projects on budget and on time.
The result?
A stronger grip on transmission timelines, millions saved by avoiding delays, and the regulatory confidence to keep the grid running smoothly.
