Vetco Gray
Vetco Gray implements PIDX delivery of invoices using EE-B2B
resulting in faster turnaround on invoice payments and early
detection of data entry errors.
"Stone Bond helped us to avoid
the high costs and slow implementation of other solutions
while it tightly adapted EE-B2B to Vetco Gray’s specific
requirements, and to those of our business partner. The
system was so easy to setup that we will begin using it
to automate the invoicing from our own suppliers."
- Paul Krueger, CIO of Vetco Gray |
Challenge: Vetco Gray wanted to quickly meet PIDX compliance
on the sell side at the request of Chevron, its top buyer.
Vetco Gray needed to implement a PIDX enabled transaction
system quickly and without months of disruption to their internal
systems. They wanted a solution to automate its invoicing,
without being too intrusive or disruptive to current systems.
Stone Bond’s Solution: EE-B2B, Stone Bond’s
Enterprise Enabler for B2B is an off the shelf, easy to deploy
solution that includes a library of trading partner-specific,
pre-built business process templates that significantly reduce
deployment time and cost. EE-B2B complies with the Petroleum
Industry Data Exchange (PIDX) standard.
Benefits: Vetco Gray found their automation and integration
so successful that they have started requesting their own
sellers comply with PIDX standards. Implementing EE-B2B has
changed the way they do business. The integration provided
for immediate, efficient, direct connection between applications
and businesses. Improvements ranged from faster turnaround
on invoice payments to early detection of data entry errors.
Not only did they find time-saving changes in invoicing, but
they saw benefits on a broader scale. In the end, Vetco Gray
has begun to encourage its own suppliers to integrate their
systems for better communications.
