Benefits

From now on, operators can access high-quality data available in the Virtual Inventory to find all needed information about tools, spare parts and equipment already in stock from other operators, and buy or borrow necessary items.

  • CAPEX – Eliminating inventory levels, utilising excess materials, fast lead time

  • Safety stock – Via common approach to inventory

  • Environmental footprint – Efficient inventory and supply chain management

  • OPEX – Saving warehouse, maintenance costs

  • Production stops and time – Via increased availability and sharing opportunity

  • Waste – Better utilisation of stored spare parts and materials

About

The NCS operators focus on efficiency, standardisation and cost savings across all areas. To create a new and forwardlooking offshore oil and gas industry, companies unite to maximise the value and strengthen the competitiveness of the NCS and its representatives.

The challenges the operators face are similar and result in costly routines. A silo-based mindset, dispersed tools and lack of common standards for proper material management lead to radical excess of inventory, environmental and regulatory non-compliance, and over-expenditures.

Virtual Inventory is a single platform for material management aiming to strengthen collaboration in the NCS ecosystem and enable synergies between services.
