An EPC company was losing time and material on a capital project routed through a single 3PL to a wide supplier base. With C2C®, HAL, Inc. delivered real-time transparency to the whole materials supply chain.
| Industry | Regions | Scope | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy & Capital Projects | Venezuela • USA | One 3PL, Multiple Suppliers | Full ERP Integration |
The Challenge
Two problems, one project
The EPC company’s on-site yard in Venezuela depended on a steady, accurate flow of material from multiple suppliers through a single 3PL in Houston — and neither the flow nor the accuracy could be taken for granted.
- Project delays resulted from material moving through receiving, packing, and consolidation without consistent visibility, with problems surfacing late.
- Pilferage and loss rates ran as high as 20% of managed material, with no systematic way to trace where or how items went missing.
The Solution
Sub-line-item control, end to end
HAL, Inc. layered C2C® over the existing 3PL software rather than replacing it, giving every party the same, real-time view of every piece of material.
- Materials management controls with full ERP integration
- PO expediting and management, two levels below the line item
- Receiving, checking, warehousing, packing, and over-packing
- Multi-site consolidation, deconsolidation, and reconsolidation
- Seamless data and material exchange between the EPC company and 3PLs
