Case Study: Natural Gas Company (NGC) achieves rapid 13-week eKanban deployment and improved inventory performance with Upland Software (Ultriva CSP)

Natural Gas Company - Customer Case Study

NGC, a global leader in oil and natural gas equipment with over 10,000 employees, needed a cloud-based supply chain portal that would integrate tightly with their Oracle E-Business Suite, be rapidly deployed to suppliers, and support Lean Kanban to optimize processes after rapid growth—without increasing headcount. They wanted to migrate stable MRP items to electronic Kanban and improve collaboration and execution across their supply chain.

NGC selected Ultriva’s Collaborative Supply Portal with Electronic Kanban for its intuitive UI, fast supplier onboarding and seamless Oracle EBS integration; the solution went live in 13 weeks. Ultriva now automatically publishes MRP requirements and exceptions to partners, standardizes multiple demand types into electronic replenishment signals, and gives real-time visibility—delivering measurable gains in employee productivity, supplier responsiveness and inventory performance at NGC’s largest plant.
