Case Study: Fortune 50 Integrated Energy Company achieves integrated SAP and retail-to-accounting interface with HCL

SAP Integration And A Retail Interface For A Fortune 50 Integrated Energy Company

A Fortune 50 integrated energy company — the third largest refinery in the USA — faced inconsistent IT operations after mergers and acquisitions, fragmented business processes, a lack of systems integration, no real-time visibility and reporting, and compliance gaps. The customer engaged HCL to address SAP integration (P2P program) and downstream retail accounting challenges and to develop a robust Retail Standard Interface (RSI) to replace multiple disjointed software packages.

HCL implemented a suite of solutions including the Upstream North America SAP project, P2P deployment, SAP security role redesign and a full lifecycle RSI deployed across regions (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Prague, Thailand and Malaysia) using technologies such as VB.Net, ASP.Net and SQL Server. As a result, HCL delivered an integrated retail-to-accounting interface that standardized processes, improved visibility and controls, reduced operational complexity, supported sales and inventory workflows (e.g., light oil, convenience sales, transfers, costing, pump tests), and enabled cost-effectiveness for the customer’s CT&O initiative.
