Materials management processes at Hess Corporation relied on manual entry of material information, which increased the possibility of human error and caused bottlenecks across several processes. Incomplete and manual entries also often resulted in inventory inaccuracies, leading to additional material orders, needlessly increasing inventory and needed storage space, and unexpected unavailability of materials that interfere with operations and production.
Hess implemented the mobile warehouse solution that provides a real-time, role-based, and intuitive user interface into SAP to transform how warehouse operators create value for the business. The mobile solution gets paired with rugged barcode scanning peripherals and portable label printers to drive speed and accuracy in data capture and labeling. The digital transformation aimed to enable the workforce to perform its tasks better and easier than before and increase employee satisfaction.
Key Business Benefits:
- Over 100 percent acceleration in goods receipt process time and higher data capture accuracy
- Real-time physical inventory movement visibility in SAP accelerates operational clock speed
- Improvements in employee satisfaction and reduction in change management costs
