About the Client

A leading global mining and metals enterprise, with a diverse portfolio covering gold, phosphate, bauxite, and aluminium, operates seamlessly across the entire value chain, from mining to processing and distribution. Aligned with a broader vision of driving economic diversification, the company is shaping the mining sector into a major industrial pillar, generating employment opportunities, and fostering the growth of local industrial hubs. Its objectives are advanced through integrated business units spanning exploration, base metals, phosphate, industrial minerals, and aluminium, reinforced by strategic partnerships with global leaders.

The Challenges

The client's critical custom processes were still managed using manual spreadsheets, creating major inefficiencies:

Inconsistent Data – Manual entries led to frequent errors and mismatches.
No Real-Time Visibility – Lack of integration with Fusion limited traceability of key attributes like alloy, thickness, and width.
Manual Auditing & Reporting – Teams relied on offline data collection, making compliance and reporting cumbersome.
Limited Collaboration – No direct communication channels with reporting and integration teams delayed clarifications and dependencies.
Operational Bottlenecks – Manual checks slowed inspections, approvals, and delegation, hurting plant-level efficiency.

The client needed dynamic, automated applications to streamline inspections, improve accuracy, and integrate seamlessly with Oracle Fusion
