Solution: We defined a standardized process for 12 business transactions (PO, SO, ISO, RMA etc.) that has to be integrated bi-directionally between ERP and WMS real-time. This process standardization was done by studying each transaction, and how it is handled in both the systems (ERP & WMS), and defining a ‘to be’ business process flow for seamless exchange of data.
Business Results: This process standardization effort was used as the baseline to integrate the business transactions between On-Premise Oracle EBS & Cloud-based WMS using OIC as the integration layer.
Planning & Execution Control Tower – Transformation Blueprint
Customer: Leading Manufacturer of Pneumatics Products
Business Challenge A leading manufacturing company wanted to improve the effectiveness and responsiveness of its planning and execution processes. Existing processes involved multiple teams, fragmented decision-making and limited visibility into emerging issues and execution bottlenecks.
