pioneering enterprise logistics by extending on salesforce.
Centelon helped one of the largest energy + utility company building along a pioneering enterprise logistics platform extending on existing salesforce infrastructure.
Origin is renowned for pushing the energy industry forward – by embracing emerging technology, they’re also innovating services in power generation, energy trading, electricity, natural gas and solar.
Challenges
- lpg is essential to businesses throughout Australia, especially to businesses in further, remote areas – such regional businesses rely on origin’s logistic and scheduling capabilities to have assurance that business operations go uninterrupted.
- with an already experienced and capable team made of ‘lpg schedulers’ in place operating and guiding lpg deliveries day-to-day – for too long they had worked with an unnecessarily fractured process. The vital datasets were hosted across a variety of platforms, each requiring proprietary training in order to work with.
- identifying the need to consolidate these resources in-house so that the client could reduce latency of scheduler response times, which would also help prevent unnecessary costs of long-distance transportation scheduled prematurely.
- to mitigate this, client has installed 300+ IoT units which transmitted tank levels in real-time – they had the data but needed a versatile platform capable of in transforming this data securely and forecasting predictive schedule dates which would enhance and upscale lpg capabilities.
Solution
Centelon implemented a self-service portal that enables people to perform sophisticated business transactions.
- Designed and developed portal to manage purchase of assets, subscriptions, and order history
- Automated inclusion of online purchases and payments to update a USB connected device via UART driver
- Implemented interest calculator engine for easier calculation of compound interest on delayed payments and subscription sales including paywall
- Enabled secure payment gateways to bill customers–both on orders and periodic basis and manage their payments
- Built on a responsive & lightweight code full backend ERP portal–making it easy to use on low-bandwidth connections
