Enterprise Ammunition (AMMO)

AMMO OTA SAP S/4HANA solution integrated and automated E2E Supply Chain for Class V material

Client Challenge

The Enterprise Ammunition (AMMO) Other Transaction Authority (OTA) effort aimed to integrate and automate End-to-End (E2E) supply chain system for Class V materials (munitions) through a comprehensive commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software solution.

Groundswell’s Solution

Our SAP S/4HANA AMMO solution planned, tracked, accounted, audited, and managed the supply and distribution of Class V munitions worldwide, but also integrated enduring logistics, finance, transportation, and quality management systems to provide a more cohesive and efficient process for ammunition management and delivery.

Impact Made

In February 2020, Telesto became the lead systems integrator to produce a prototype for the U.S. AMMO Supply Chain System solution. We successfully created an integrated and automated end-to-end supply chain system for Class V (munitions) to meet joint, operational, accountability, visibility, and auditability requirements.

“We will be in great shape as we continue to evolve, and I think it’s worth the energy we are putting in today to demonstrate what the art of the possible is.”

“We have the ability to connect horizontally across the enterprise to create effects that otherwise we could not create.”

“This is a system that will facilitate and allow us to do all of the activities we need to do during all phases of transportation—it will be simple for everyone to track and coordinate movements.”
Luis Ramos
Transportation Specialist, SDDC 842nd Transporation Battalion
“To consolidate these systems and streamline processes, Groundswell began a journey of success and over the course of two years, Groundswell TMS proved to increase visibility, reduce the need of cross system intervention for planning and execution, and enhance auditability through integrated finance reporting and detailed change management.”

“This is a great thing for the DOD. It’s one system for all. We won’t be swivel chairing between systems, and it will increase visibility and lower costs.”
Installation Transportation Officer D.J. Eckland
Fort McCoy’s Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) Transportation Division
“Throughout DOD, multiple transportation systems are used, and many don’t communicate effectively with each other. Muller said the TMS prototype creates a possible “one-stop shop” where everyone can communicate in one system and improve capabilities throughout.”

“Telesto is a good implementation partner. When you implement a new system there’s a feeling out period between all parties involved. You go from sort of a generic capability to fine tuning it with yourself, the customer, Telesto, and Transcom to work through the process and make it more efficient. Telesto has a very good understanding of SAP’s TMS product. Connecting all the dots and adding EDI took some time, but Telesto was very responsive to getting all of that done.”
