and sufficiency ~ All callouts and communications are only via Ironsight HOW we will measure success.
~ Ironsight will track acceptance and rejections automatically building the
database required not only for the water validation process but also, provide
insight for vendor management efforts
Callouts made via phone calls and followed by emails ~ Automated callouts leveraging one of 4 methods to assign loads to different ~ Complete elimination of manual (email/ phone) processes
vendors: ~ All callouts and communications are only via Ironsight
1) Assign Directly/manually
2) Call out from Pool/Call-out list (time based)
3) Automatically assign (Dedicated trucks) and,
4) First come first serve
~ All correspondence contained in IronSight
Inability to evaluate vendor’s performance Ability to extract reports to evaluate Vendor performance ~ Predefined reports on metrics to evaluate performance, including productive
and non-productive time
Manual water validation process
Delays in water validation have led to past due payments ~ Streamline the water validation process by providing all required data and ~ Complete elimination of manual (email/ phone) processes
creating friction with multiple vendors support to validate loads to both the FAT and our Vendor base ~ Updated contracts with new payment terms
~ Ability to offer Net 15 terms vs Net 30
Poor data quality used to validate loads Standardization of data for each step with validations to confirm integrity and ~ Complete elimination of manual (email/ phone) processes
sufficiency ~ All callouts and communications are only via Ironsight
Using Vendor and SWD’s spreadsheets with backup images Standardization of data for each step with validations to confirm integrity and ~ Standardization across vendors with ability for them to attach files/ images as
sufficiency needed
Time consuming – manual process Automated process with pre-defined triggers and alerts to ensure timeliness ~ Complete elimination of manual processes
~ SLA-based triggers/ alerts to enforce target turnaround at every step in the
process
Inability to validate travel times (Yard to location, loading ~ Full visibility on travel through geolocation, allowing us to monitor and ~ TOC has visual updates on the location of each truck via IronSight
time, location to disposal sites, etc.) identify every load destination/disposal site utilized – critical for ESG purposes
~ Full visibility on travel through geolocation allowing us to monitor and
identify travel time outliers.
Inability to monitor/track destination/disposal of loads Precise, real-time tracking of each truck ~ TOC has visual updates on the location of each truck via IronSight
Inefficient Invoicing through Ariba
Vendors utilizing Factoring companies have had issues given Standardized formats and process ~ All invoicing will only be raised in Ariba, using standardized formats
Ariba’s self service capabilities
SES issues prevent multiple users from working concurrently Design a process that does not require concurrent access by multiple Users
on the same PO
Manual Truck management & tracking
TOC needs to call every driver/company to get ETA Precise, real-time tracking of each truck ~ Complete elimination of manual callouts
~ Dashboards that provide real-time status and ETA
Inability to re-route trucks with regard to real-time conditions Precise, real-time tracking of each truck ~ Real-time alerts to drivers and TOC
Unable to identify trucks on standby – Non-Productive Time TOC and Field personnel have real-time visibility of all incoming trucks ~ Dashboards that provide real-time status, including status post
through geolocation communicating emergencies/ change in routing* (is that accurate?)
Inability to re-direct on-route trucks from nearby jobs ~ Ability to release trucks on standby reducing unnecessary spend ~ Dashboards that provide real-time status
~ Ability for TOC to override hauls, identifying trucks closest to location in ~ TOC able to override jobs per need
case of emergencies and/or prioritization between jobs
Other benefits
Asset Shut-in Decrease risk (Can we measure it? $/day? $/hr)
Call-out optimization Decrease/ eliminate callouts Decrease from top 5 usage ~$642/yr
Water Validation Increase efficiency – Payment Terms Decrease from ~$600k/yr
HSSE/Legal/ESG Increased visibility
Escalation to other programs – i.e. Chemicals

1 03/21 Set up time to discuss impact/ next steps with Archita 03/22: Invite sent for 03/25
Erica, Antonio, Gautam and Manuel
2 03/22 Connect with Laura @ IronSight to start Discovery Erica 03/21: Laura has confirmed discussions can start ahead of PO
03/22: Laura sent initial documents; archita has requested templates to document
scope and shared the draft WES has started
03/22: Received templates and had discussion with Laura, to walkthrough their
implementation process
3 03/20 Confirm that IronSight can integrte OKTA Laura 03/20: IronSight to send documentation for OKTA integration approach so Marc can get
authentication sign-off from the Security team
04/02: Received and sent docs to Marc to confirm if it is adequate to get sign off from
the Security team
4 03/22 Set up formal kickoff and weekly touchbase for Archita 03/22: This will be set up once we have finalized the workflows
project 04/09: Initial internal call completed. Weekly calls will commence once we have
approval to proceed
5 03/22 Get MSA/ SOW executed with IronSight Antonio 03/22: This will be done in parallel with Stage Gate 2 and 3 approvals
6 03/26 Create Level 3 process maps to show future-state Erica 04/01: Archita to draft flow based on conversations to date, Erica to review
flows 04/09: # of 5 flows are complete
7 03/26 Request IronSight for details of where they have Erica 03/26: Sent request
executed integration with SAP/ Ariba 03/27: Received information from Laura - closed
8 03/26 Confirm that OKTA is added to MSA/ SOW (or Archita 03/27: Conveyed to Antonio; we will ensure this is added in the final version signed
Work order) as initial scope to be delivered
9 03/27 Confirm if we can skip DOA (as recommended by Erica 03/27: Erica confirmed with the Accounting team that we MUST include DOA ahead of
Gautam) or if must account for DOA as part of the PO creation. Also, we do not want to stroe DOA hierarchy in IronSight
approval, ahead of the PO being created
10 03/27 Confirm how master data must be sent to to Laura 03/27: Will this be SFTP? What is the file format? Csv, Xml, Json, other? Are there web
IronSight APIs available? Need technical details like are they exposed as web service, REST api,
etc; how change logic is handled, are these full reloads each interface or do they
ADD/DELETE/EDIT type logic in them, is master data feeds normally flat files but then
the PO push into IronSight is a web API?
03/28: Laura sent response: IronSight_Location_Sync.pdf – this document details how
to synchronize locations and cost centers in IronSight with an external source. It’s a
REST endpoint that accepts the full master dataset as a CSV file. Locations in the file
that aren’t already in IronSight are added, locations that already exist in IronSight are
updated in-place, and locations no longer contained in the CSV file are archived in
IronSight. To be confirmed with Marc: Good to close item?
11 03/27 Confirm how will we receive data from IronSight Laura 03/27: Are these web APIs exposed that we poll? What fields are available on the data
that’s exposed?
03/28: Laura sent response:IronSight_API_Sample.pdf – this document details a subset
of the IronSight API endpoints for reference purposes. Any operation that’s available
from the user interface is available through an equivalent API endpoint. In the Oxy
workflow they call the Get Jobs endpoint, then reconcile the data against SAP, then call
the Update Custom Fields endpoint to write the PO details back to the IronSight job. To
be confirmed with Marc: Good to close item?
12 03/27 Confirm IronSight testing approach Laura 03/27: Will IronSight provide/ help identify the test scenarios that need to be
executed? Will there be a test environment we can use or do we use the production
environment and if so how do we delete the test data? Will we have a test
environment for usage in general if we have support issues?
03/18: Laura sent details. To be confirmed with Marc: Good to close item?
04/ 02: Marc has conveyed preference for testing; IronSight to set up test
environments
13 03/28 Plan time and tasks in in schedule, to clear out all Erica
current POs pending processing ahead of go live
(to allow starting with a clean slate)
