Modernizing Demand and Supply Planning for a Global Oil & Gas Major

How Infosys helped a leading oil and gas enterprise replace fragmented legacy planning systems with an integrated demand and supply planning platform to improve forecasting, inventory visibility, scenario analysis, and automated decision-making.

Situation

A leading multinational oil and gas corporation headquartered in Texas sought to modernize its planning landscape by replacing multiple legacy planning systems with a single integrated demand and supply planning platform. The client needed a unified solution that could serve as a one-stop shop for supply and execution planning, while enabling core capabilities across forecasting, inventory management, replenishment planning, and supply planning.

The transformation was not limited to technology replacement. The client faced significant business and operational complexity, including disparate and unclean data, manual data conversion, limited end-to-end visibility, inconsistent planning views across systems, and management concerns around the risk and change implications of a large-scale transformation. To succeed, the organization needed a partner that could help harmonize processes, accelerate data and integration builds, and guide stakeholders from awareness to adoption.

Solution

Infosys acted as a transformation partner, helping the client define and drive the digital planning journey across vendor selection, process definition, data enablement, and technology integration. The team established a structured decision framework, supported process harmonization, accelerated data and integration activities, and helped address change-management concerns associated with modernizing the planning environment.

The implemented solution delivered an integrated demand and supply planning platform with intelligent demand forecasting, production signaling to upstream processes, global inventory visibility, future balance projections across dynamic planning horizons, scenario analysis based on business rules and economic drivers, and automated recommendations to address demand-supply imbalances. By replacing fragmented legacy systems with one integrated platform, the client gained a more consistent, scalable, and decision-ready planning foundation for forecasting, inventory optimization, replenishment planning, and supply execution.
