Amcor’s large-scale operation mainly depends on accurate and latest data, including the data shared by its third-party logistics (3PL) partner, Airpod that provides warehousing and distribution services for the company’s Australian southern region operations, to efficiently meet delivery schedules. However, the data coming from Amcor’s ERP and 3PL’s warehouse management system were processed manually and involved human error causing disruption in the supply chain and delay in client orders.

As a part of its strategy to automate and optimize its daily operations, Amcor sought for seamless data integration, sharing and analysis. To address this, the company deployed Boomi’s, a Dell unit, integration platform-as-a-services (iPaaS) platform, which helped in strengthening Amcor’s supply chain by aligning and integrating its data with that of 3PL’s.
