The Challenge

Hess Corporation desired a materials management technology that improved accuracy and efficiency across their entire supply chain. This included connectivity to onshore warehouses and yards, and to remote locations, such as ships and offshore platforms. The need for paperless operations was key, as was ease of use and the ability for minor configuration changes to be made as business needs dictated.
