Worthington Industries
Acquisition of a new division was helped by an E-Business Suite upgrade and integration to the supply chain for this $2 billion dollar manufacturer.
Worthington Industries is a global, multi-site industrial manufacturing organization. As North America’s premier steel processor for the last 60 years, they provide customers with a wide range of capabilities, products, and services for the automotive, construction and agriculture industries, including your grilling propane tanks.
The Challenges
Worthington Industries acquired a specialized division that lacked a sound technology solution. To maintain safety and supply chain visibility, Worthington needed to integrate their existing E-Business Suite solution (EBS) to the newly acquired division. The advanced integration platform of EBS R12 ensured that the newly acquired division would be folded in seamlessly and provides much-needed visibility to global supply chain activities.
The ArganoCSS Approach
ArganoCSS leveraged out-of-the-box functionality within EBS along with standard best practices to quickly get the new division up and running. By deploying Worthington’s 21 modules within EBS throughout their three business units, ArganoCSS provided them solutions footprint they needed. Minimizing customizations using standard functionality in EBS R12 provided them a fully leveraged solution that will grow and scale if additional acquisitions are in the future. And with release 12, Worthington has a robust platform to add Cloud solutions to its footprint.
The Results
Preparing them for potential Cloud solutions in their future, EBS R12 allowed Worthington to solve their technical issues and gave them visibility to inventory, supply chain, purchasing, planning, and transportation within their new division. With 21 new modules across 3 business units and zero customizations, the solution provided efficiency, visibility, and critical supply chain integration.
What our client says
“ArganoCSS brought expertise and capabilities that we didn’t have. They didn’t come in with a cookie-cutter approach, they listened to us and made this project successful.”
