In complex projects, engineers and operations teams need quick access to the right parts, equipment, and materials. But too often, the procurement process slows them down. Endless supplier negotiations, preferred vendor bottlenecks, and time-consuming forms can leave project engineers (PEs) spending more time chasing suppliers than focusing on delivery.

In many organisations, product details are often scattered across personal emails, requisition forms, and purchase orders. This fragmented approach creates inefficiencies, as critical data such as unit costs, part numbers, and product specifications are not captured in a structured or centralised way. Buyers face delays, duplication, and inconsistencies, especially when repeating purchases.

Yesterday, our team had a fantastic time at the Offshore Europe Expo in Aberdeen. The event brought together leaders, innovators, and professionals from across the energy sector, creating the perfect space to share ideas and explore the future of our industry.

Earlier this month, the C-SAM team came together for two inspiring days filled with challenge, collaboration, and forward-thinking. The event brought colleagues from across the business – and internationally – to connect, reflect on our progress, and align on the exciting future ahead.

In today’s interconnected business world, many organisations operate across multiple regions — from the UK to Brazil, the Middle East to Europe. Managing these diverse entities comes with its own set of challenges: different regulations, currencies, tax requirements, and points of contact (POCs). Without the right tools, keeping track of all this information can quickly become overwhelming.

A modern business thrives on data-driven decisions—and that means having full visibility into every aspect of operations. C‑SAM’s modular platform delivers just that: a flexible system that brings together asset tracking, maintenance planning, workforce management, project control, finance, and more—all in one place. 

We’re excited to uncover the 2025 Framework Update for the C‑SAM platform — a major step forward in usability, security, and performance. These enhancements are built with you in mind, streamlining daily tasks, improving navigation, and adding modern tools to help your business work smarter.
