Expanding the Local Buying Program to South America via a multilingual application

With the overwhelming success of the Local Buying Program in Australia, BHP and Sawu wanted to replicate the platform in Spanish for their operations in Chile.

The Project

Leveraging the success of the Australian platform, we worked closely with BHP, Sawu and C-Res to customise, translate and localise the existing system for a Spanish audience. The project itself was quite involved and required the replacement of every single English word with a placeholder to make the system truly multilingual.

The uptake of the system has been outstanding and it has exceeded $2M in approved spend in less than two months of operation.

The Solution

We worked with Sawu to implement a Spanish system incorporating:

Language Translation
Supplier Registration and Management
Buyer Registration and Management
Work Instruction Management
Claim Management
Automated Business Processes
Reporting and Compliance
Systems integration with SAP Ariba

We also manage the day to day operations of the platform including:

Cloud Hosting
System Backups and Monitoring
Performance Tuning and Optimisation
Feature Enhancements
Support and Maintenance
Security Analysis and Review

The Development

Translation and Localisation
Web Application Development
WordPress Development
