Milwaukee Tool unifies global supply chain with Oracle Fusion Cloud
Manufacturer replaces separate ERP and SCM systems to improve order visibility and automate trade compliance across three countries.
United States | Industrial Manufacturing
“With Oracle Cloud Supply Chain and Manufacturing, we finally see every order, part, and shipment in real time, so our planners commit dates with confidence, our plants build to an accurate signal, and our compliance team no longer lives in spreadsheets— that clarity lets us scale production and serve contractors faster than ever.”
About Milwaukee Tool
Milwaukee Tool is a fast-growing manufacturer of heavy-duty power tools, accessories, and hand tools for professional construction and industrial users. The company has operations in the United States, Mexico, and Vietnam.
Business problem: Separate systems slowed decisions and trade compliance
Milwaukee Tool ran separate ERP and SCM instances and lacked a single view of orders, inventory, and trade compliance. This slowed decision-making and added manual work for supply chain and compliance teams.
Solution and results: One platform for planning, shipments, and master data
In eight months, Milwaukee Tool replaced Microsoft Dynamics AX at key sites with Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain and Manufacturing and Oracle Fusion Cloud Finance and Accounting. Key capabilities behind the decision included global trade management, supply and demand planning, product lifecycle management, and enterprise data management.
The unified platform automates order promising, orchestrates cross-border shipments, and distributes master data to each plant. The business cut over with no downtime and now processes orders, shipments, and invoices on one system while aligning US, Mexico, and Vietnam facilities under a single plan. Automated trade screening eliminates spreadsheets and supports regulatory confidence.
