Logistics

Helicopter transporting crew to an offshore oil platform, highlighting the critical role of logistics in remote operations

The challenge

In Oil and Gas and other resource-intensive sectors, logistics is mission-critical. Workboats, helicopters, personnel and supply runs must be scheduled and routed to keep operations running safely and on time - often across remote locations and under strict cost and safety constraints.

Why it's complex

Unpredictable conditions

Weather, sea state, and access windows can change quickly. And business priorities can change from day-to-day.

Competing demand

Maintenance, interventions, and project work all compete for limited vessels, helicopters, and crew.

Manual, reactive planning

Traditional methods rely on opinion-heavy daily meetings and spreadsheets, making it hard to test alternatives or see trade-offs.

How WhiteSpace helps

WhiteSpace applies AI-assisted scheduling and routing to bring clarity and speed to logistics. Our tools evaluate hundreds of thousands of possible plans in minutes, making the cost, safety, and operational trade-offs fully visible and actionable.


In offshore operations, this approach has cut planning cycles from days to hours, delivered double-digit reductions in fuel use and emissions, and lowered operating costs while keeping critical work on schedule. By turning complexity into clear, optimised plans, we help teams move from debate to decision and keep operations running smoothly.
