| FIS Global | Legacy | FIS Integrated Payables | AP Automation | ERP | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018, Shell implemented FIS Integrated Payables to centralize accounts payable processing and strengthen Treasury and Corporate Finance controls, positioning the solution as a core AP Automation capability within its finance portfolio. FIS Integrated Payables was configured to provide automated invoice capture, approval workflows, payment orchestration and reconciliation across supplier payments and accounts payable lifecycles.
The deployment emphasized standard AP Automation functional modules such as electronic invoice processing, workflow driven approvals, exception management for invoice disputes, straight through payment processing and remittance reconciliation. Configuration work included multi currency payment routing and payment file generation to support treasury payment execution and payment rail orchestration, with parameterized rules for routing and approval limits.
Integration and operational coverage focused on Treasury and Corporate Finance teams, with explicit technical support for the Quantum Treasury Management System upgrade as part of broader treasury platform activity. Operational stakeholders included cash management, liquidity and foreign exchange functions, and the system was positioned to interoperate with existing treasury processes and payment execution channels.
Governance emphasized central technical assurance and product level controls, aligning projects with enterprise strategy and architectural simplification efforts that targeted removal of non core applications. Delivery combined advisory portfolio SME oversight with hands on delivery when resourcing constraints required, and the program was intended to improve long term value delivery and reduce maintenance costs in future operations.

| UKG | Legacy | UKG Workforce Central Absence Manager (ex Kronos Workforce Absence Manager) | Absence and Leave Management | HCM | n/a | 2012 | 2012 |
In 2012 Shell implemented UKG Workforce Central Absence Manager (ex Kronos Workforce Absence Manager) for Absence and Leave Management to centralize absence, accrual and timekeeping workflows across HR and Payroll functions. The deployment positioned UKG Workforce Central Absence Manager as the core absence and leave management platform supporting multiple production locations and workforce analytics use cases.
The implementation encompassed Kronos Workforce Central 8.0 components and modules including Workforce Central, Workforce Analytics, Workforce Timekeeper, Workforce Scheduler and Advanced Scheduler, Leave management, Accruals, Device Manager and Process Manager. Configuration work included full cycle implementation tasks such as access profiles, pay rules, customized work rules, paycodes and combined paycodes, wage profiles, labor level structures and labor level sets, scheduler and advanced scheduler setups, accrual plans from holiday setup to multi organization accruals, Navigator and Administrator configuration, Hyperfind queries, Genies, lookup tables and user profiles.
Integrations were implemented via Workforce Integration Manager for inbound employee data and outbound payroll hours and wage files, explicitly creating and maintaining WIM interfaces for transfer of employee data between Kronos and ADP. Technical delivery included SQL based queries and views, custom report development, WIM interface programming, and data migration activities from SQL Server, Excel and SharePoint document libraries into SQL Server to support conversion of payroll, HRIS, timekeeping and attendance data.
Governance and rollout activity involved working with department heads to finalize business, functional and technical requirements, authoring business process models, defining project tasks, timelines and roll out procedures, and executing change management and production support. Operational support responsibilities included troubleshooting connection issues, service management and service pack application for Workforce Central, maintaining accrual and absence configurations, resolving HR and payroll interface issues, and delivering Workforce Analytics as a web enabled system across more than 20 facilities on schedule and consistently under project budget.

| Cenosco.com | Legacy | Cenosco IMS | Asset Performance Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2015 | 2015 |
In 2015, Cenosco.com developed Cenosco IMS, which was quickly implemented throughout Shell. The deployment positioned Cenosco IMS as an Asset Performance Management application supporting integrity operations in Shell's oil and gas business.
Cenosco IMS was delivered as an integrity management system with modules aligned to inspection scheduling, asset condition tracking, risk based integrity planning and field data capture, reflecting standard Asset Performance Management capabilities. Configuration focused on integrity engineering workflows, inspection planning and maintenance orchestration to centralize lifecycle asset management activities.
The rollout covered Shell integrity, reliability and inspection teams across operational sites and engineering functions, and the system was later made available to external customers. Operational implementation emphasized centralization of inspection records, analytics ready data and audit trails to support integrity decision making and regulatory compliance workflows.
Governance changes included standardizing inspection and remediation processes and embedding new ownership and handoff points into maintenance and engineering routines, with iterative configuration driven by close day to day collaboration between Cenosco.com and Shell subject matter experts. Cenosco’s industry experience with Shell enabled rapid requirement capture and short feedback cycles, accelerating adaptation of the IMS to large and complex asset estates.
The success of Cenosco IMS accelerated growth for Cenosco.com and catalyzed further application development, but growth also introduced higher operational costs and intensified competition from lower cost workforces in India. To address cost pressure and scale development, Cenosco opened an office in Pula where more than 40 developers work, leveraging proximity to the main office in The Hague, the same time zone and a similar working culture.
