OVERVIEW
Sand Source Services operates a network of transload facilities that store and cross-dock silica (frac) sand for nonconventional wells. When business skyrocketed, it needed technology to keep customers’ supply chains in view and on track.
THE CHALLENGE
Sand Source Services’ infrastructure couldn’t support the company’s growth. Leaders wanted to implement a new ERP to create greater visibility into inventory, automate processes and enhance communication with suppliers and customers. The company also needed help navigating change, as success hinged on employees embracing and learning the new system.
THE APPROACH
Wipfli introduced Microsoft Dynamics AX and:
- Programmed manual processes to track and manage inbound and outbound loads.
- Built a custom, web-based inventory management program to give customers real-time data on purchases and shipments.
- Created a state-of-the-art touchscreen application to make it easy for staff to enter data, capture load weights and enter new orders.
Wipfli made a powerful impression on our leadership team. They knew our industry well, had all the technical expertise, asked great questions and listened. They had a solid understanding of what a new solution would mean to us and our industry.
THE RESULTS
Sand Source Services achieved total supply chain visibility, synchronized inventory data, and successfully managed organizational change with high staff adoption.
