The Challenge

Despite its robust infrastructure and market presence, a Fortune 500 energy company and leading lubricants producer was grappling with serious operational inefficiencies. Low confidence in SAP data, underutilized system features, and fragmented spreadsheet-driven planning led to excess inventory, reactive decision-making, and missed service-level targets. These challenges translated into eroded margins, constrained throughput, and growing frustration across teams – symptoms that resonate with executives aiming to drive performance in volatile, asset-intensive industries.

The Decision

Senior leadership recognized that patchwork solutions and manual workarounds were no longer sustainable. They needed a strategic partner who could deliver measurable ROI – not just a technical fix.
