Challenge
Our customer, a world-class offshore drilling contractor, owns, operates, and manages a fleet of high-specification, premium jack-up rigs. The company sought to increase inventory visibility on six rigs and consolidate excess inventory by relocating it to a central warehouse, which they lacked. To achieve these inventory centralization goals, they partnered with ALLSERV, a tech-first, managed solutions provider with both field experience and subject matter expertise. The team faced challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which restricted mobility and impacted the project timeline. Nevertheless, the team was still able to complete the project within the client's requested timeframe.
