About Actenum
We turn scheduling into a strategic advantage
Scheduling is a complex and critical activity in asset-intensive organizations, with substantial economic impact. Since 2003, Actenum has led the way in developing scheduling software for these organizations, to drive business value by increasing operational efficiency, reducing non-productive time, and improving project team collaboration. Utilizing the latest technology advances for intelligent scheduling, and deploying on-premise or in the cloud, we ensure that the right resources are in the right place at the right time. Our sophisticated scheduling software and optimization technology enable customers to do more with less, and increase capital efficiency, through the effective use of resources.
AI-powered, industry-proven software
AI-powered, Actenum software has been designed to directly address the limitations of manual approaches and yield tangible economic benefits. Users immediately understand the impact on goals, such as costs and production, when moving equipment, adding crews, and making other resource decisions. Each team or business area has visibility over the entire schedule and can use built-in “What-if?” analysis to generate scenarios and identify the optimal alternative. In addition, Actenum scheduling software enables all parties to benefit from a single-source view of operations that enables everyone to understand the allocation and use of key resources.
Advanced scheduling for a broad range of industries
Whether it’s the oil and gas industry, a manufacturing plant, a refinery, or any other complex environment, our software tools are highly configurable to accommodate integrated scheduling, and offer robust features, such as visual scheduling with drag-and-drop ease. As a single source of all schedule-related data, including timing, production, and costs, Actenum scheduling software can be implemented quickly to deliver right away on your vision of operations scheduling.

What we do
Rapid and reliable, optimized oil and gas scheduling implementation
To ensure that you obtain the highest return on your investment in Actenum software our Professional Services team has developed a rapid and reliable implementation approach that we call QuickStart.
Fast and low risk, a QuickStart project gets you up and running quickly, allowing you to realize business benefits in as little as 30 days. During the QuickStart project, we work with up to two users and deploy an Actenum DSO configuration tailored to meet your needs.
Proven in multiple customer environments, QuickStart includes:
- Scheduling requirements gathering
- Actenum DSO configuration and installation
- Loading of your existing schedule data
- User training
Integration with third-party applications
While implementing optimized scheduling during the QuickStart project, we explore any potential integration to other applications that may be required. In a subsequent project, we implement the necessary integration mechanisms to either import or export data from third-party applications.
