Client overview
A leading manufacturer of utility transmission components supports energy infrastructure projects worldwide. The company operates multiple plants to produce steel poles and related hardware, while coordinating procurement and logistics for large, complex programs.
Its commercial and engineering teams manage quotes and orders across thousands of parts. They work with ERP, inventory, and design tools to generate accurate blueprints, maintain data integrity, and support on-time fabrication and delivery for major utility projects.
Challenges
Manual approvals, siloed ERP systems, and stringent compliance demands slowed down quoting processes across locations.
Complex paper-based quotation process
Over 100 manual checks across 30+ stakeholders slowed quote generation, causing delays and creating communication bottlenecks.
Siloed data systems
Disconnected ERP and inventory systems at different manufacturing plants created inconsistencies in customer data and inaccurate material availability.
Legacy infrastructure limitations
On-premise systems lacked security for remote work, faced scalability issues, and created significant TCO concerns for digital transformation.
Solution
We modernized the quoting environment by migrating core applications and data to the cloud and redesigning workflows for real-time accuracy and scale.
Unified quotation database
Consolidated fragmented on-premise data sources into a centralized cloud repository, eliminating redundant entry and enabling real-time access across teams.
ERP & CAD synchronization
Re-architected integrations to create a modern, API-driven bridge between ERP, inventory, and CAD tools, supporting accurate blueprint generation and cost estimation.
Flexible cloud deployment
Migrated legacy applications with minimal disruption, safeguarding data and maintaining mission-critical performance in remote environments.
Compliance & security
Implemented secure remote access and modern cloud security controls to meet compliance requirements while maintaining productivity across globally distributed teams.
Business impact
Automation and a centralized cloud platform reduced quoting times, minimized errors, and improved collaboration among teams.
Accelerated quote generation
Automated, cloud-based workflows cut quotation turnaround time by 70%, enabling faster responses to customer RFQs and supporting higher win rates.
Streamlined inventory management
Digitizing the legacy Excel-based process automated verification for 1,000+ materials, reducing manual effort and improving accuracy in cost calculations.
Enhanced cross-plant collaboration
A unified platform enabled stakeholders across manufacturing units to coordinate efficiently while maintaining consistent, reliable data throughout the quoting lifecycle.
