An oil company’s critical supply chain included suppliers and 3PLs spread across Yemen, Canada, Dubai and the USA. HAL, Inc. developed a single materials management system they could share to keep projects moving.
| Industry | Regions | Scope | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oil & Gas | Yemen · Canada · Dubai · USA | Multiple 3PLs, Multiple Suppliers | Full ERP Integration |
The Challenge
Four countries, one blind spot
Every additional 3PL and supplier in the client’s supply chain added another handoff and another place for visibility to break down.
- Project delays stacked up across multiple consolidation and deconsolidation points.
- Visibility was limited from vendor to installation across international suppliers.
- Suppliers and 3PLs across four countries had no access or input into the oil company’s ERP system.
The Solution
One thread to tie every hand-off together
HAL, Inc. connected every 3PL and supplier group to the customer’s own ERP system to create a single, continuously synced record of material.
- Full ERP integration across all parties
- PO expediting and management, two levels below the line item
- Receiving, checking, warehousing, packing, and over-packing at every facility
- Multi-site consolidation, deconsolidation, and reconsolidation in real time
- Seamless data and material exchange between the oil company, its suppliers, and its 3PLs
