As the upstream energy sector faces increasing pressure to cut costs, optimisation of business processes in order to achieve cost efficiency has never been more important. Process optimisation projects can cover significant ground toward delivering the efficiency improvements the industry is under increasing pressure to achieve.
Investment in SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software continues to rise due to its business scalability, configuration flexibility and capabilities in managing vast quantities of complex data.

Joint Venture Accounting
Industry collaboration is cited by the Wood Review as key to sustainability in the North Sea and Operators are increasingly working together. To support this, Absoft helps companies to accurately track, allocate and recover costs during joint ventures with increased visibility and control. Even those with well-established SAP finance systems can benefit from a review of processes, master data and methodology to prevent allocation and recovery processes becoming dated, inefficient and potentially in breach of JOA allowances.

Supply Chain Management
We enable more effective supply chain operations through complete supplier lifecycle management and clearer visibility of assets, parts and people in-situ. For inventory requirements, we can help clients produce more accurate material availability reports and stock level analysis to optimise effective warehouse management. The result is improved employment of working capital, meaning your cash flow isnât unnecessarily trapped on a warehouse shelf.
Logistics is crucial for safe and compliant operations offshore, particularly for maintenance requirements. Absoft enables full tracking visibility, from warehouse to remote locations, and integration with plant maintenance systems to ensure safety critical equipment is delivered on time.

Maintenance of safety critical equipment in SAP can ensure compliance with industry standards and optimise asset performance. Through in-depth predictive analytics and trending analysis, companies can reduce the risk of âfix on failureâ and minimise production downtime.
Mobile solutions for SAP can help drive efficiency even higher through streamlined approval processes and sharing information across a paperless environment in real-time. We offer a suite of tailored apps and partner with a distributor of ATEX certified mobile devices, Airacom, to increase wrench time productivity.
