The Challenge
With a 180-year legacy of innovation, this global leader in commercial explosives is no stranger to the challenges of business. Their products and services exist not just to do a job, but to do a job efficiently and effectively. Over 3700 employees on three different continents, rely on timely, accurate information to deliver quality customer experiences. Like most companies with a global presence with multiple locations experience, their employees were forced to use three different systems to manage daily tasks, such as picking and delivering explosives to customers. A multi-system approach led to:
- Duplicate Work: Employees had to record the same process across three separate systems, resulting in inefficiencies.
- Complexity: Using different systems for the same tasks increased the likelihood of errors and slowed down operations.
- Lack of Integration: The systems did not seamlessly integrate with their SAP backend and third party “Track and Trace” systems.
They required a unified solution to eliminate duplication, improve process efficiency, and integrate all systems into one application.
The Solution
You know your business, just like this global expert of commercial explosives knows theirs. A solution that can be molded and shaped by internal resources to be whatever you need it to be.
HCL Volt MX provides a comprehensive mobile solution replacing their three existing systems with a single application. It fully integrated with their SAP backend and third party “Track and Trace” systems. Delivering significant improvements in their user experience and operational efficiency, the application’s key functionalities include:
- Picking/Picking Confirmation: Streamlining the process of selecting the correct explosives for delivery.
- Post Goods Issue: Automatic updates to the SAP system once goods are dispatched.
- Customer Receipt (Goods Receipt): Capturing customer acknowledgment upon delivery of goods.
- Packing: Guaranteed correct packaging and labeling of explosives before shipment.
- Stock Transfers: Internal movements of inventory across locations are fully visible and able to be managed.
- Stock Take & Inventory Checking: Real-time inventory audits to maintain accurate stock levels.
- Printing Labels and Manifests: Simplification of label creation for products and shipping manifests.
- Barcode Scanning: Use of barcodes to track products efficiently throughout the supply chain.
The Results
Unification is at the core of the results HCL Volt MX brings to this global company. One software solution able to unite multiple systems and seamlessly integrate into already existing platforms. Reduction of redundancy in work led to an increase in productivity and minimization of duplicated efforts. In addition, Volt MX improved accuracy and efficiency in handling and delivery customer orders.
The motto of “work smarter, not harder” applies to HCL Volt MX and this company’s relationship. Both of us commit to developing and delivering practical and reliable solutions anticipating the future, together.
