Case Study: National Marine Dredging Company shortens procurement cycles with Oracle E-Business Suite from Oracle Construction and Engineering

National Marine Dredging Company Shortens Procurement Cycles by 40%, Transforms Financial and Human Resources Enterprise Resource Planning

National Marine Dredging Company (NMDC), an Abu Dhabi-based dredging and land reclamation firm, needed to replace its long-running COBOL mainframe inventory system and modernize procurement, finance, and human resources. As the first business in its niche offshore dredging industry to pursue this kind of ERP transformation, NMDC turned to Oracle Construction and Engineering and Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3 to gain better control and visibility across 24 departments and vessels.

Oracle Construction and Engineering implemented Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3 using NMDC’s internal teams and Oracle support, enabling integrated procurement, inventory, financials, HR, and payroll processes. The results included 40% shorter procurement cycles, a month-end close completed 10 days faster, and much greater visibility into a parts inventory averaging US$50 million, while also speeding payroll processing for a workforce spanning 25 nations.
