Turnaround Readiness Software for Shutdown Programs
Kissflow runs turnaround readiness as a milestone program: scope frozen on schedule, contractors mobilized, spares and permits confirmed by discipline, and a go/no-go milestone gate before execution starts, so a turnaround begins because every discipline is actually ready, not because the calendar date arrived.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
Six weeks out, the turnaround scope is still growing, and every line item added now is schedule already spent.
A turnaround has a fixed start date set a year or more out, and everything that has to be true before that date, scope locked, contractors mobilized, spares on site, permits in hand, gets tracked by a dozen discipline leads on their own spreadsheets until someone tries to roll it up into a single readiness picture two weeks before execution. By then, a gap in one discipline is a surprise, not a managed risk.
Kissflow runs turnaround readiness as a coordinated program: scope freeze tracking against the schedule, contractor mobilization readiness by discipline, spares and materials readiness linked to the work list, permit and safety readiness confirmed ahead of execution, a readiness scorecard rolled up by discipline, and a go/no-go milestone gate before the turnaround transitions into execution. Kissflow doesn't run the turnaround itself once it starts; it's the readiness program that decides whether execution should begin on schedule.
Turnaround planners configure discipline categories, readiness milestones, and scorecard thresholds in the visual builder, so a readiness gap in one discipline is visible to every other discipline lead weeks before it becomes a delay.
Where turnaround readiness breaks down between planning and execution
Scope freeze isn't enforced
Work packages keep getting added past the point where the schedule can absorb them, with no gate stopping it.
Readiness is tracked per discipline, not together
Mechanical, electrical, and contracts each track their own readiness, with no shared rollup until it's too late to fix a gap.
Spares and permits aren't linked to the work list
A missing part or an unissued permit surfaces the week of execution, not weeks earlier when it could still be fixed.
No single go/no-go decision
The turnaround starts on the calendar date regardless of whether every discipline actually confirmed readiness.
Six modules. Execution starts because readiness was confirmed.
Configure each module to your disciplines, milestones, and readiness scorecard.
Scope freeze tracking
The work list locks on schedule, with structured intake and impact assessment for anything added after.
Contractor mobilization readiness
Every contractor's mobilization status, headcount, and credentials are tracked against the schedule.
Spares & materials readiness
Critical spares and materials are linked to the work list, flagging a gap before it threatens the schedule.
Permit & safety readiness
Permits and safety readiness requirements are tracked by discipline ahead of execution.
Readiness scorecard by discipline
A live rollup of readiness status across every discipline, not a spreadsheet compiled the week before.
Go/no-go milestone gate
A single readiness decision, made on record, before the turnaround transitions to execution.
From request to system of record in four steps
Plan
The work list locks on schedule at the scope freeze, with a structured process governing anything added after.
Assign
Contractors, spares, permits, and safety requirements are distributed and tracked against the schedule by discipline.
Execute
Readiness status rolls up into one live scorecard across every discipline, with gaps visible as they emerge.
Close-out
A single go/no-go milestone decision is made before execution begins, so a turnaround starts because every discipline is actually ready, not because the calendar date arrived.
What changes when turnaround readiness runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Scope freeze | Enforced loosely, if at all | A locked work list with structured intake for additions |
| Discipline readiness | Tracked separately by each discipline lead | Rolled up into one shared readiness scorecard |
| Spares and permits | Surface as gaps the week of execution | Linked to the work list and tracked weeks ahead |
| Readiness visibility | A spreadsheet compiled just before start | A live scorecard updated continuously |
| Go/no-go decision | The calendar date, regardless of readiness | A recorded decision based on actual readiness |
| Post-turnaround record | Reconstructed from memory and emails | Built from the readiness and milestone history |
Works alongside your EAM, contractor management, and PTW systems; Kissflow doesn't replace any of them
Kissflow runs the readiness coordination and scorecard layer across disciplines. Your EAM, contractor management, and PTW systems stay the system of record for their respective data.

Built for how turnaround readiness actually needs to roll up across disciplines
A scope freeze that actually holds
Additions after the freeze go through structured intake and impact assessment, not a quiet edit to the work list.
Readiness in one scorecard, not a dozen spreadsheets
Every discipline's status rolls up into a single live view.
A go/no-go decision on record
Execution starts because readiness was confirmed, not because the calendar date arrived.
Live in weeks
Configure discipline categories and readiness milestones in the visual builder, or describe the use case to the AI Builder.
Governed from day one
Role-based access and a full audit log are built into every readiness milestone.
One view across every discipline
Mechanical, electrical, contracts, and HSE see the same live readiness picture.

Get SupportNo. Kissflow runs the readiness coordination and scorecard layer across disciplines. Your EAM, contractor management, and PTW systems stay the system of record for their respective data.
That app is a daily, per-job go/no-go gate for a single work front, checked every morning. This app is a multi-week program coordinating readiness across every discipline ahead of a full shutdown or turnaround event.
Shutdown and Turnaround Manager runs the execution itself, scope through punch-list closure, once the turnaround starts. Turnaround Readiness Management System is the readiness program before that: confirming scope, contractors, spares, and permits are actually ready before execution begins.
That workflow is the longer-horizon reliability program that decides when and why a turnaround should happen in the first place. This app manages readiness for a turnaround that's already scheduled.
Whoever you configure, typically the turnaround manager, based on the rolled-up readiness scorecard across every discipline.
Yes, readiness updates can be submitted from a mobile device.
Configuration and AI-assisted app generation move delivery from a multi-month program to a matter of weeks.
Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO/IEC 27001, with role-based access and a full audit log on every milestone.
