One of the biggest order management (bottling plant) for a leading soft drink manufacturer in the Middle East, had a big problem in their hands after implementing Oracle Supply chain Module. Arowana was called in to study and build a solution around the existing Oracle application to increase efficiencies and leverage existing investments to boost revenues.
The Drivers of the trucks carrying the soft drinks also worked as sales and delivery personnel. They had hand held devices into which the sales orders and corresponding deliveries were entered. The Sales order would be sent to the warehouses, where the inventory is reserved and then pushed into trucks for delivery. Depending on the credit worthiness of the buyer, cash or credit facilities were extended.
Oracle E Business suite needed to be customized to be able to interface with handhelds, reserve inventories against orders, and also to accommodate highly complex but extremely routine transactions like, switching of loads between trucks during breakdowns, damage returns and unpacking at warehouses due to failed deliveries.
Arowana developed a detailed solution that addressed the complex requirements of the order managements (bottling plant). The solution, which was built around the SCM, also interfaced with various accounting modules within the E-Business suite, facilitating the updating of accounts, with respect to auto accounting based on business rules and accounting of discounted and free order line items.
The solution now suits all discrete manufacturing industries, which deliver large quantities of goods to retailers like Pharmaceuticals and Large wholesalers/ C&F agents, using Oracle ERP systems.
