Last year, we announced the completion of SpreadBoss, a custom software logistics support tool that allows thousands of joints of pipe to be tracked, providing customized inventory reports and creating a pipeline status history database. Entrance and TG Mercer have pushed the ability to track joints of pipe from cradle to grave that much further with the recent release of new modules for milling and welding.
Previously, TG Mercer would take custody of joints of pipe, assuming that they had been correctly milled and coated. They can now can insert their own employees at the very beginning of the process, allowing joints of pipe and their whereabouts to be entered into the system that much earlier. After this point, TG Mercer employees follow the pipe to the welder, where further quality control can be performed on-site.
This improved tracking ability has helped TG Mercer make more strides towards preventing inventory loss, in addition to giving customers better visibility into where project hold-ups are coming from at the very beginning.
