Case Study: Shelf Drilling achieves 98% reduction in data transfer and consolidation time with Jedox

Shelf Drilling reduces time spent in data transfer and consolidation by 98%

Shelf Drilling, a Dubai‑headquartered contractor operating 30 jack‑up rigs across four regions with ~3,000 staff, faced slow, error‑prone planning and emissions tracking because rig teams used disconnected Excel sheets and relied on low‑bandwidth satellite links to send data to HQ. Manual consolidation of maintenance forecasts, fuel consumption and engine hours prevented near‑real‑time insight and added significant administrative overhead.

Shelf Drilling implemented the Jedox FP&A and integrated planning platform—chosen for its Excel‑like interface, offline batch replication, JD Edwards integration, webforms and built‑in approval workflows—to synchronize and validate data automatically. The result was a 98% reduction in time spent on data transfer and consolidation, elimination of paper approvals, near‑real‑time visibility into fuel use for optimization and sustainability, and redeployment of staff to higher‑value financial and operational tasks as the solution is rolled out across the business.
