A global supermajor faced significant operational inefficiency by managing vendor contracts, onboarding, and payments in-house. Each internal supply chain manager handled up to 50 contracts at a time. The team spent as much time on non-core vendors as on core vendors. They needed to reduce the operational burden on internal supply chain resources. The supermajor transitioned non-core vendor relationships to a third-party vendor aggregator. The provider took over contract management, onboarding, HSE compliance, and invoicing to give immediate relief to the internal supply chain team. Over time, the supermajor continued transitioning additional vendors across multiple business units, categories, and spend levels. The team also leveraged a network spanning 200+ service categories to source vendors in new basins while maintaining visibility into total spend. The supermajor saved $1.5M in upfront costs. Average vendor onboarding time reached 1–2 weeks. The program onboarded and managed 200+ vendors, enabling the internal team to focus more on core vendors and value-creating work. Year over year, vendor management support scaled by as much as 300% to match changing volume and complexity.

Rabalais Instrument & Electrical Constructors faced a condensed schedule on its first large-scale solar project in South Texas. The 200MW scope included 650,000 solar panels, 500 power poles, and 1,098 miles of cable, creating intense coordination demands. The site also required 40 pieces of equipment, and the team spent $1M on tie-wraps for wire management. COVID impacts and supply shortages added further complexity while safety and quality expectations remained high. The team implemented an external staffing approach to meet the project’s labor needs, which were expected to reach upwards of 200 workers. Hiring and background checks were managed, along with safety equipment and safety training for workers. Paperwork and documentation were handled end to end, and workers’ hours were managed to reduce administrative load. The approach emphasized responsiveness and a personal touch to keep the site moving quickly. The workforce was recruited and staffed quickly, enabling crews to get up to speed without wasting hours on ramp-up. Staffing performance reached a 100% fulfillment rate over a 4-day average timetable. Workforce retention reached 96.2% across the project. The project finished 1 week early and produced an estimated $252K in cost savings.

A large U.S. energy operator with job sites north of Midland, TX faced a severe COVID-19 case. The incident created immediate risk for onsite teams and ongoing operations. The operator needed rapid testing and screening to identify and manage exposure. Speed and coordination across multiple job sites were critical. A testing deployment was coordinated in partnership with imawareTM to get kits to the field immediately. A licensed nurse was dispatched to conduct on-site screening. Testing began right away, including same-day administration. Daily health status reports were provided to support ongoing monitoring. 100 COVID-19 test kits were delivered to Midland-area job sites. 20 tests were completed the same day. All at-risk workers were screened within 48 hours. This rapid response supported continued job site continuity.
