Industry Applications with Proven Impact

At Splisys, we don’t just implement SAP solutions—we align them with industry-specific challenges to unlock maximum value. Our deep domain expertise in Oil and gas, Manufacturing, Retail, and Mining ensures that SAP implementations are practical, measurable, and future-proof.

Here’s a closer look at how we’ve delivered real-world success across sectors:

Oil & Gas: Streamlining Complex Logistics & Maintenance

The Oil & Gas sector faces intense logistical challenges, stringent safety regulations, and volatile global demand. With SAP, Splisys has helped energy companies:

• Optimize Upstream and Downstream Logistics
  We implemented SAP S/4HANA Logistics to streamline materials management, automate procurement, and connect field operations. This reduced delays in exploration, extraction, and delivery pipelines.
• Reduce Pipeline Maintenance Time by 18%
  By deploying SAP Predictive Asset Insights, we helped clients shift from reactive to predictive maintenance—minimizing unscheduled downtime and improving asset longevity.
• Integrate Inventory Control with SAP EWM
  Using SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), inventory accuracy improved dramatically, enabling smarter spare parts availability and better fuel supply planning.

Manufacturing: Building Smart, Responsive Factories

In manufacturing, agility, quality control, and real-time visibility are key to success. Our clients have benefited from:

• Live Shop Floor Management Powered by SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud
   We enabled smart factories with IoT-powered sensors and real-time production dashboards—helping floor supervisors track KPIs live and intervene proactively.
• 25% Faster Cycle Time Across Production
  Optimizing shop floor processes with SAP MII (Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence) enabled synchronized production, reduced changeover times, and minimized manual interventions.
• Enhanced Traceability for Compliance & Recalls
  SAP’s end-to-end product genealogy and batch tracking ensured clients were audit-ready and compliant with industry standards like ISO, GMP, and FDA, reducing recall response time.

Retail: Responding to Customer Demands in Real Time

For retail businesses, a responsive and data-driven supply chain makes all the difference. We’ve helped our retail clients:

• Centralize Demand-Supply Planning Across 60+ Stores
  Leveraging SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and POS integration, we unified forecasting across locations, eliminating planning silos and inconsistencies.
• Increase Shelf Availability by 30%
   Using SAP CAR (Customer Activity Repository) and real-time analytics, we ensured optimal stock placement and prevented lost sales due to empty shelves.
• Cut Warehouse Idle Inventory by 22%
   Our SAP EWM implementation introduced lean inventory strategies, automated replenishment, and space optimization within multi-location warehouses.

Mining: Maximizing Equipment and Transport Efficiency

Mining operations face harsh environments, expensive downtime, and high transport costs. Splisys addressed these with precision:

• Predictive Asset Maintenance to Reduce Downtime
  With SAP AIN (Asset Intelligence Network) and SAP Predictive Maintenance, we helped clients anticipate equipment failures, reducing unplanned downtime and extending asset life.
• Dropped Transport Logistics Costs by 14%
  Through SAP Transportation Management (TM), route optimization, load consolidation, and real-time tracking were introduced, reducing fuel and contract transport costs.
• Improve Sustainability Tracking via SAP EHS
  Using SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS), mining clients improved compliance reporting, tracked carbon emissions, and maintained transparent safety records in line with global ESG standards.
