CASE STUDY

Shutdown Challenge

Location: Australia
Partner: confidential
Year: 2021
Project Type: Inventory Hub Spares Management

THE BENEFITS

Background
& Challenge

During the critical shutdown and maintenance planning, our client identified a Vibration Cable as a crucial component that needed to be replaced. However, there was a significant hurdle – the cable was not in the client’s inventory and vendors were quoting a daunting 20-week lead time.

DIGATEX’s
Solution

Utilising the DIGATEX Inventory Hub, the client quickly discovered that the required cable was available in another operator’s inventory. Despite different cataloguing codes and descriptors, the Inventory Hub’s advanced matching capabilities facilitated instant identification. An automated email from the Inventory Hub connected the client with the other operator, leading to fast, fuss-free sourcing of the critical cable.
