Client: Maritime shipping company (name withheld under NDA)
Industry: Transportation & Logistics – Maritime Supply Chain
Solution: Web-based supply chain management portal that centralizes the vessel procurement workflow (purchase requisitions, RFQs, vendor quotations, purchase orders, and delivery tracking), integrated with SAP and the client’s ERP system

The client expressed an interest in developing an internal system that can seamlessly integrate with their SAP and ERP solution, specifically for PR/PO/RFQ related to vessel assembly and service demand.

The client uses a primary web-based platform as a unified landing page for centrally managing its internal and external systems, services, and modules.

What The Client Required

The PR-PO workflow functionality provided to the client team facilitates the management of requisitions, information review and correction, warehouse withdrawal processing, shipment tracking, RFQ generation for vendors, quotation comparison, quote collation and selection, Purchase Order issuance, and delivery state tracking.

Implementing a centralized system for all business process steps enabled seamless collaboration among team members, facilitating prompt resolution of vessel requisition and minimizing email interactions between groups.

Implementing a user management system that assigns roles and permissions to users, while also maintaining a comprehensive record of their activity history for auditing purposes.
Enabling Supply Chain Management (SCM) to initiate the requisition process from the vessel and seamlessly navigate through the Purchase Requisition (PR), Purchase Order (PO), and Request for Quotation (RFQ) processes.
Executing a functionality that enables vendors to submit initial quotations and subsequent re-quotes.
Implementing integration with SAP and ERP systems for the purpose of recording all quotations, generating PO numbers, and updating the status.
Implementing integration with the Vessel Team to facilitate verification of goods receipt/goods issue and obtain real-time updates on delivery status.
