A producer of intermediate petrochemicals industry, the world’s largest producer of PET resins, and a manufacturer of wool yarns, required the support of RGIS. Headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, the company has operating sites in 35 countries on six continents – in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. Its products include PET bottles, polyester fibres and yarns, wool yarns, and the polyester precursors ethylene oxide and terephthalic acid.
THE CHALLENGE
The petrochemical company needed to record all production facilities and warehouse stock so that the central SAP system could have both fixed asset data and current warehouse stock data in one place.
The company required RGIS to provide the following:
- Complete a count of all parts in the warehouse
- Record data of all production facilities
- Identify variances to expected stock levels
- Take photographs of fixed assets and stock in warehouse
- Produce accurate reports to import all the data into the central SAP system
Why RGIS?
Customers use RGIS for asset and warehouse stock audits with imagery because it provides accurate inventory verification supported by visual evidence, increasing confidence in the data. By capturing images alongside audit results, RGIS helps validate asset condition, location, and existence, improving traceability, audit assurance, and decision-making across warehouse and asset management operations.
Our Solutions
The petrochemical company partnered with RGIS to complete the asset and warehouse inventory project, and RGIS provided the following:
Before the inventory began, extensive safety briefings are given by the customer to RGIS teams, as some production areas were difficult to access and some equipment was subject to high temperatures. Helmets, safety shoes, protective goggles and high-visibility waistcoats were part of the teams’ equipment
Scheduled a team of five experienced RGIS auditors to count the warehouse
The stock levels and the production facilities are recorded numerically and photographically by RGIS using an app provided by the customer’s asset management company
Results
The petrochemical company found by outsourcing the asset and warehouse inventory project to RGIS, the following results were achieved:
RGIS teams accurately counted 9,000 items in various packaging
RGIS recommended replacing some of the tags on some of the production facilities for easier tracking
Took photographs and logged the data for 500 production units
100% of stock items were counted and recorded within the warehouse
98% accuracy was achieved
The accurate data collected by the RGIS teams was sent to the asset management company’s system, which in turn successfully transmitted the data directly to the customer’s central SAP system
Conclusion
By partnering with RGIS to carry out the asset and warehouse inventory with photographic data capture, the petrochemical company achieved a single, accurate view of fixed assets and stock within its central SAP system. RGIS’s disciplined, safety-led approach and precise data collection delivered high levels of accuracy, clear asset visibility, and reliable variance identification. As a result, the company strengthened asset control, improved inventory governance, and gained trusted data to support ongoing operational and financial management.
