From chaos to control: how a manufacturing giant doubled accuracy

the challenge

Complex, cross-functional processes were impacting operational efficiency and speed.  The client needed a system to track their processes, from order creation to goods receipt and invoicing.

They wanted to automate the purchase orders validation process to ensure that the vendors were paid only for the received goods. The client also wanted to automate extracting information on suppliers against purchase orders for balance reconciliation. This would help them ensure process efficiency and accurate reporting across Oracle financials, procurement, supply chain, and other functions.

Finally, the client sought a standardized data view to eliminate ambiguity and ensure consistency.

the solution

Our Oracle team created a unified dashboard with details from different forms and ensured an accurate overview of received inventory against the various purchase orders and the outstanding quantities. As a result, payments to suppliers are now only released for the quantity received according to the purchase order. We created a data model to generate views containing various discounts and pricing details for the business's sales orders. To further meet client's requirements, Nagarro developed data models using Power BI for insights on accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, fixed assets, Bill of Materials (BOM), and work in progress (WIP). This allowed the client to conveniently access and review all relevant information on a single page.
As certain data points aren't native to the Oracle system, we have integrated costing details for items, asset-related information, and specific General Ledger (GL) data that are further broken down into sub-ledgers. 
This enabled a thorough and efficient analysis of financial reporting information. Consequently, users can now swiftly generate management reports that provide visibility into company-wide spending and financial performance.

the outcome

A single view for all expense transactions reduced the time spent on business tasks by half and increased the accuracy by 100%, significantly improving productivity. The client also witnesses a quicker turnaround time for the procurement invoicing cycle.  
The unified and consistent data view significantly reduced the month-end closing time and helped optimize expenses for cost savings. Implementing a standardized data view across different areas streamlined reporting processes, increasing efficiency and productivity. The unified dashboard also helped generate insights and improve transparency.
