Challenges

A word from Rosendin Electric, Inc.

  • “We have transformed our procure-to-pay process with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g. We can place and receive orders for critical supplies, such as electrical components, much more quickly. We’re also better equipped to take advantage of early-pay discounts and are reducing our costs associated with procure-to-pay processes.” – Anand Tamboli, Director, Business Applications, Rosendin Electric, Inc.

  • Automate the procure-to-pay process to accurately and efficiently place orders with vendors and process invoices—helping to ensure that the company’s electrical construction projects remain on schedule and on budget
  • Maintain quality service and valued relationships with customers and vendors, such as electrical component providers, without compromising profitability
  • Improve productivity of staff involved in the procure-to-pay process, allowing them to focus on strategic priorities

Solutions

Oracle Product and Services

  • Chose Oracle’s Fusion Middleware, including Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle BPEL Process Manager and Oracle WebLogic Suite, to integrate procure-to-pay processes with Rosendin Electric’s top vendors through electronic data interchange (EDI)
  • Integrated the company’s Oracle E-Business Suite modules with the EDI solution, eliminating the need to manually place and confirm the receipt of orders via phone, fax, and e-mail when doing business with the company’s major vendors, including electrical component providers
  • Created a repeatable standard for communication between internal and external data systems
  • Eliminated the need to rekey data into various systems, freeing up staff time to focus on other projects and reducing errors
  • Enabled the company to more consistently manage and take advantage of early-pay discounts on a growing portion of its more than US$400 million in annual purchases
  • Used Oracle BPEL Process Manager to automate purchase approvals for select items below a set dollar limit, further accelerating order placement
  • Worked with Oracle Partner AT&T to build and complete the integration, which is expected to save more than US$1 million
