Companies focused on carbon capture and storage technology are uniquely positioned to drive meaningful sustainability progress in one of the world’s highest-emitting industrial sectors. One such company, positioned at the forefront of decarbonization technology is breaking new ground by capturing CO2 from natural gas sources like boilers, CHP systems, and fuel cells. Their solutions stand out for being cost-effective and non-disruptive—a critical advantage when addressing heat-based emissions.
However, as their operations expanded, so did the challenges of managing their growth efficiently. Recognizing the potential roadblocks, the company sought to optimize its operations with the help of a trusted technology partner.
Discovering Operational Challenges
Despite their success in advancing decarbonization, the company encountered several key hurdles. A lack of integration across manufacturing processes created inefficiencies in managing workflows, including bills of materials, production orders, and material requirements planning. This disconnect inhibited productivity and strained their ability to scale. Additionally, the procurement process for thousands of outsourced parts led to significant delays, creating bottlenecks that threatened their timelines. Looking ahead, this company recognized the need for advanced tools to support field services, ensuring they could continue to deliver exceptional results for their clients.
Implementing Much Needed Solutions
To address these challenges, the company partnered with SWK Technologies, which implemented a comprehensive ERP system designed to streamline operations and prepare for future growth. The integration of an Acumatica’s Advanced Manufacturing Edition provided much-needed coherence in production management, enabling seamless handling of orders, materials, and processes. The bottlenecks in procurement were addressed through optimized purchasing and vendor management tools, ensuring efficiency in acquiring thousands of parts from subcontractors.
Financial operations were enhanced with intercompany accounting and bank feed integrations, offering a real-time look into cash flow and simplifying complex financial transactions. The addition of shipping carrier tools streamlined logistics operations, leading to faster and more reliable deliveries. Project accounting capabilities allowed the company to track costs and performance with precision, while the platform’s scalability ensured their readiness to integrate future field service functionality as the need arises.
Long-Term Success with SWK
This strategic partnership has not only resolved the company’s immediate operational inefficiencies but also set the stage for sustainable growth moving forward. With streamlined processes, improved financial visibility, and enhanced logistical capabilities, the company is now equipped to maintain its leadership position in decarbonization technology. By implementing a forward-looking solution, they can continue to innovate and support their clients while making significant contributions to CO2 emission reduction.
Through their work with SWK , the company has ensured that their mission to drive meaningful change in the industry will remain uninterrupted.
