Increase the performance and reliability of your workflows
IT tools should be adjusted to match your business, not the other way round. Throughout our projects, we accompany our customers in their transition from obsolete or wrong tools to dedicated, homogenous tools with high reliability and improved long term traceability. This way, you are securing your workflows while saving time daily.
Training and support
The tools we build are tailored for your operators. Because the software workflows match your business workflows, getting started is usually easy and fast: an competent operator should immediately find his marks in the IT processes that mirror are complement his operational actions. For larger projects we can also arrange on-site training for key users.
Projects and use-cases
Here are some projects and detailed use-cases we have worked on for the past few years. Every tool we develop is natively multilingual, respect web standards and uses opensource software.
ELITE (Easy Line-Item Tracking for Energy) Software
IT solution dedicated to the Upstream Oil and Gas industry
This ongoing project is developed as part of an exclusive partnership with SCII (Supply Chain Improvement and Innovation).
ELITE software covers all key features required by the Upstream Oil & Gas ecosystem to monitor and control their logistics and Supply Chain with one target: high service level and costs optimization.
Aside from a full range of standard features, ELITE Software includes:
- Download any format of PO (Line Item and Item) issued by EP (Energy Producers) and upstream O&G service companies.
- Follow up on any PO at the item level.
- Document management at item level, e.g. certificate of origin, MTC (Material Test Certificate) etc.
- Support for efficient expediting processes based on customers’ requirements, including management of partial PO, automatic reminders to vendors/suppliers for PO readiness issues, documentation management.
- Track and Trace any PO at the item level.
- Manage MR (Material Receipt) check at item level with OS&D’s (Overage, Shortage and Damages).
