MOL and MOL Drybulk Take Major Step Towards Digital Transformation

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and MOL Drybulk Ltd have announced that they have completed the replacement of their current core systems for ship operations, fuel procurement, finance, and accounting with a variety of cutting-edge cloud-based business application software that they adopted in April this year.

This time, MOL and MOL Drybulk incorporated SaaS to pursue the Fit-to-Standard approach (a technique for adapting operations to the systems) after thoroughly evaluating and standardizing the processes for the operations covered by the systems.

MOL positioned digital transformation (DX) as the foundation to enable its business strategies (portfolio strategy, environmental strategy, and regional strategy) and initiatives to enhance organizational strength while implementing workstyle reforms in its fiscal 2022 management plan, "Rolling Plan 2022."

Additionally, the two companies will advance the thorough standardisation of operations implemented this time to promote business structure reforms.
