Rogers Group Inc, a road and highway construction company based out of Nashville, Tennessee, was looking for a way to increase both productivity and efficiency at its job sites. For many years, all on-site data, from crew member hours to which equipment was used and installed was tracked, using… paper forms! These paper forms were sent to an office clerk at Rogers' offices who entered all the data into the company's back-end Oracle E-Business Suite system manually. As a result, site managers sometimes had to wait a week to analyze data from these reports.
Rogers worked with with AuraPlayer, an Oracle partner that helps companies to integrate, extend, modernize and mobilize their E-Business Suite and Forms applications, to "wrap" its existing EBS infrastructure and expose it as a web service. AuraPlayer's technology allowed Rogers to accomplish this without changing any code in its back end. Rogers then collaborated with Sofbang, an Oracle Platinum Partner and leading Cloud Solutions provider, to create a mobile app using Oracle Mobile Cloud Service that would allow on-site managers to visualize and manipulate the now-exposed E-Business Suite data.
With this winning combination of technology and assistance from AuraPlayer and Sofbang, Rogers Group increased its efficiency and accuracy in maintaining business records, and provided managers with the ability to see and reconcile reports in real-time, instead of asking them to wait a week for paper substitutes.
