About the Client

A leading global mining and metals firm with a diverse portfolio spanning gold, phosphate, bauxite, and aluminium, operating across the value chain from mining to processing and distribution. As part of a broader vision to drive economic diversification, it is developing the mining sector into a major industrial pillar, creating jobs, and building local industrial hubs.

The organization advances its goals through integrated business units in exploration, base metals, phosphate, industrial minerals, and aluminium, alongside partnerships with global leaders.


The Challenges

The client's reliance on manual reporting and outdated EBS workflows created major bottlenecks in managing chemical content data for manufacturing operations:

  • Manual Data Entry - Critical chemical composition data was recorded by hand, leading to frequent errors and inconsistencies.

  • Delayed Reporting - Generating reports took 2–3 days, leaving leadership without timely insights.

  • Compliance Risks - Inaccuracies in chemical data increased the risk of non-compliance in a tightly regulated industry.

  • Rigid Legacy Systems - EBS lacked the flexibility and real-time integration needed to support modern workflows.

  • Siloed Systems - Integrations were cumbersome and not real-time, limiting agility and responsiveness.

The client needed a modern Oracle Fusion-based solution with an extension app to record, validate, and report chemical content seamlessly, ensuring real-time connectivity across systems.


The Solution

We implemented a custom Oracle VBCS extension integrated with Oracle Fusion and OIC, designed specifically for chemical data management.

Key solution elements included:

  1. Custom VBCS Extension

    • Built 4 interdependent VBCS screens tailored to manufacturing workflows.

    • Provided a user-friendly UI for accurate recording of chemical contents

  2. Robust OIC Integrations

    • Developed 10–15 OIC integrations to connect Fusion with multiple dependent systems.

    • Designed REST API-based integrations for modularity, faster recovery, and scalability.

  3. Strategic Project Execution

    • Prioritized the critical SIT (System Integration Testing) milestone.

    • Focused on seamless VBCS–OIC integration to enable real-time data flows.


Before vs After Impact

  • Manual, siloed workflows → Fully integrated, automated flows

  • Delayed reporting (2–3 days) → Near real-time reporting within hours

  • High dependency on manual validation → System-driven, error-free checks
