News SummaryWith a small IT team, Greenball needed an enterprise-grade, end-to-end IT platform to optimize key business processes and support rapid company growth.

News Facts Greenball Corp., a leading quality tire designer, manufacturer and distributor, is using Oracle Managed Cloud Services to optimize key business processes and support its rapid growth.
In order to cost effectively meet the operational efficiency demands of the price-sensitive tire distribution industry, Greenball needed a highly robust, scalable and available enterprise application infrastructure that would conserve the resources of its small IT team.
After a comprehensive evaluation of cloud offerings, Greenball selected Oracle Managed Cloud Services to help modernize its IT environment, improve customer service and reduce operational costs.
With Oracle Applications Managed Cloud Service, Greenball was able to gain a fully supported and expertly managed Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) infrastructure that increased visibility into financial processes and supply chain costs, while providing the flexibility to scale with the company’s growth.
In addition, Oracle Technology Managed Cloud Service has helped Greenball further reduce costs by eliminating the need for a third-party Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) partner as the company expands its business with national retail chains that require EDI capabilities.
The robust and scalable Oracle solutions also enabled Greenball to automate tire order processing, invoicing, and payment receipt, which accelerated processes and significantly reduced the costs, time and effort associated with invoice matching.
The integrated, comprehensive and flexible platform has also enabled Greenball to cut order processing time from up to two days to just a few hours and create a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) warehouse management system that optimizes inventory management.
The 24/7 availability, support and management provided by Oracle Managed Cloud Services have helped Greenball maintain global operations and focus its small IT team on strategic projects.
