Sandbox tenants with industry examples
A sandbox tenant is a second, ready-filled tenant in Rillsoft Cloud: a resource pool with qualifications, teams and people, several coordinated projects, a portfolio that groups them — and a common time frame in which the capacity conflicts become visible exactly where they actually arise in the respective industry. Instead of starting with an empty tenant, you see resource planning, capacity levelling and multi-project management on credible data right away.
There are nine industry packages. They are available in German, English and Russian; only the text is translated, all figures, dates and links are identical in all three languages. All data is synthetic.
The nine sandbox tenants at a glance
Small company (up to 50 people)
Engineering consultancy / planning
Planning office with 30 people, planned by name in five teams
- Resource pool
- 30 people
- Teams
- 5
- Projects
- 4
- Lead project
- New office building
Four building projects from brief development to handover, planned on a shared pool of architectural design, structural design, building services and site supervision. The bottleneck arises in mid-March in site supervision, when construction in the lead project and refurbishment supervision in project D coincide.
Medium-sized company (50 to 100 people)
Machinery and plant engineering
60 people in seven departments, machine park with shared assembly bays
- Resource pool
- 60 people
- Teams
- 7
- Projects
- 5
- Lead project
- Assembly line MX-200
Four customer projects plus a base load of service and small orders that ties up 19 people. The lead project shows parallel development of mechanics, electrics and automation through to commissioning at the customer; in the assembly phase in February, industrial mechanics and mechatronics exceed their capacity for several weeks.
Large company (more than 100 people)
Production / manufacturing
Plant with 120 people, three assembly lines and ongoing line operation as base load
- Resource pool
- 120 people
- Teams
- 8
- Projects
- 5
- Lead project
- Series ramp-up product variant B
Series ramp-up, line changeover, capacity expansion and scrap reduction alongside a line operation that ties up 76 of the 120 people — the projects visibly work with the remaining capacity of a fully utilised plant. The bottleneck lies at the end of November in maintenance; two of the three assembly lines are permanently occupied by the base load.
Small company (up to 50 people)
IT service provider
Software house with 30 people in backend, frontend, DevOps, test and project management
- Resource pool
- 30 people
- Teams
- 5
- Projects
- 4
- Lead project
- ERP module financial accounting
ERP module, customer portal, document management system and BI reporting on one shared pool. The lead project runs through seven phases from functional design via data migration to hypercare; the bottleneck lies in January in backend development, when migration work and portal development coincide.
Large company (more than 100 people)
SME / multi-project
120 people; product development, customer plant, IT project and site conversion on one pool
- Resource pool
- 120 people
- Teams
- 7
- Projects
- 5
- Lead project
- Product variant C
The most cross-functional package: product development, a customer plant, ERP warehouse integration and a site conversion draw on the same resource pool, so conflicts between entirely different undertakings become visible. The base load of series production and daily business ties up 60 people; the bottleneck lies in mid-November in ERP development.
Large company (more than 100 people)
Construction / modernisation
Construction company with 120 people in its own crews, machine park and materials
- Resource pool
- 120 people
- Teams
- 7
- Projects
- 5
- Lead project
- Swimming pool modernisation
Four construction projects with crews for bricklayers, concrete, carpenters and scaffolding, plus ongoing sites as a base load of 64 people. The only package with materials and a full equipment inventory: tower crane, mobile crane, excavator and concrete pump are single units where shared use across project boundaries becomes visible.
Small company (up to 50 people)
Public administration / building authority
Municipal building authority with 30 people; tendering, site supervision and formal acceptances
- Resource pool
- 30 people
- Teams
- 5
- Projects
- 4
- Lead project
- Lindenhof primary school refurbishment
Four measures of Marshbury Council — school refurbishment, new nursery, fire protection of a fire station and a barrier-free town hall entrance — with grants, council resolutions, public tendering and supervision of the contracted firms. The school refurbishment is tied to holiday windows; the highest utilisation is carried by site supervision at the end of January.
Medium-sized company (50 to 100 people)
Plant engineering / major projects
90 people along the value chain, twelve major projects with more than 4,200 tasks
- Resource pool
- 90 people
- Teams
- 10
- Projects
- 12
- Lead project
- Process plant PPA-400 Northchem
Twelve staggered customer projects with 300 to 500 tasks each and four structure levels from main phase down to task. The package shows how Rillsoft Cloud carries a portfolio of plant-engineering size; the portfolio bottlenecks lie in pipework assembly and QA inspection.
Large company (more than 100 people)
Construction and infrastructure group
Group with 150 people at three locations, planning with the preferred team on site
- Resource pool
- 150 people
- Teams
- 17
- Projects
- 5
- Lead project
- Northmole harbour quarter
Three branches with identical qualifications and a lean group level: planning is done with the local team, and only at bottlenecks does the planner widen the circle to the other locations. Preferred teams are set on the sub-projects; the major site of the North branch overloads the North crews for bricklayers.
