When Manual Becomes Automatic: How Oracle Fusion SCM Transformed a $40B Logistics Operation
Overview
Every day, thousands of suppliers across DP World’s vast global logistics network submitted profile updates—each one requiring manual routing and review. For a company handling millions of container movements annually, this seemingly small inefficiency was creating major ripples across their operations. Support tickets piled up, costs mounted, and both suppliers and internal teams grew increasingly frustrated with the cumbersome process.
The Challenge
The existing process required manual intervention to assign review requests to the correct business unit vendor management teams, as the Fusion vendor master entity relationship did not automatically derive the relevant business unit information. This resulted in high latency, increased support costs, and a poor user experience for both DP World and their suppliers.
The challenge demanded more than a quick fix—it required a complete rethinking of how supplier information flowed through their Oracle Fusion SCM landscape.
When DP World partnered with INTECH, they weren’t just seeking a technology solution; they were looking for a way to transform their supplier management processes into a competitive advantage.
What followed was a journey that would revolutionize their approach to supplier data management and set new standards for operational efficiency.
