Cargill: a shipping-capacity dashboard that cut truck wait times
Took a shipment-tracking app from whiteboard to working Fiori prototype in seven days, cutting process costs by $250,000.
Cargill
Enhancing Plant Efficiency and Shipment Execution with
Design Thinking
Shipment and warehouse activity tracking was problematic for the client. Trucks experienced inordinate waits in line at the warehouse waiting to be checked in, real-time updates were impossible, and shipments were difficult to track and deliver on time. This led to excess costs, challenging resource scheduling, and workflow impairment.
The client engaged Mindset to design and implement a better system for real-time tracking and reporting of shipments and plant activity. Mindset experts utilized a Design Thinking approach and created a standalone prototype of the application that showed them engagement at every stage.
Using Agile methodology, the Mindset team then created a high-resolution prototype that addressed their issues in just 7 days, and met the project timeline using Fiori. The new system allowed the client to reduce costs by $250,000, implement changes without disturbing the core of the business, and quickly capture business value.
Using Fiori, the team was able to go from whiteboard ideation to high-resolution working prototype in just seven days.

If we built this today
Concept · not delivered scopeDecisions surfaced where the work happens.
This is a forward-looking concept, not the scope we delivered on this engagement. It is the build we would reach for now, grounded in SAP that ships today.
This was a Food and Agriculture company that ran on SAP Fiori and needed cleaner analytics and faster decisions for the people doing the daily operational work.
The data product
Cloud ERP Intelligence
A governed intelligent application on SAP Business Data Cloud that joins operational S/4HANA data with analytical context, grounded in the SAP Knowledge Graph so the agent reasons over real business meaning. It gives the answers a trustworthy, consistent foundation instead of a one-off extract.
Intelligent Application on SAP Business Data Cloud
The Joule agent
Operational Insight Agent
Reads live S/4HANA operational data and the questions a Fiori user is actually asking, then proposes the few numbers and exceptions that matter for the decision in front of them. It surfaces the trend, names the likely driver, and drafts the next step instead of leaving someone to dig through reports.

The Fiori app
Joule-embedded analytics in the Fiori launchpad
Joule sits inside the Fiori launchpad and answers plain questions against live business data, so an analytical decision starts where the user already works rather than in a separate reporting tool. We name the category here because the right OOTB app depends on which operational area the team lands on first.
Embedded in the Fiori launchpad
We would mine the current Fiori and reporting flows in SAP Signavio first, map the application and data estate in SAP LeanIX, then let MIND accelerators carry the old analytics into the new agent-grounded model.
