Worthington Steel Accelerates Operations with Swift for their Oracle Fusion
Worthington Steel (NYSE: WS), a leading metals processor specializing in carbon flat-rolled steel and sustainable electrical laminations, has successfully transformed its warehouse operations. By partnering with Ephlux and deploying the Swift (Low-Code/No-Code + AI) platform, Worthington Steel has eliminated manual bottlenecks and achieved significant gains in real-time visibility and processing speed.
The Challenge: Manual Barriers to Scale
Prior to the implementation, Worthington Steel faced logistical hurdles in both inbound receiving and outbound shipping. The process relied heavily on:
Manual Data Entry: Reliance on paper-based coordination led to delayed updates in Oracle Fusion Cloud.
Process Latency: Outbound shipment tasks—from sales order release to truck loading—involved complex steps that hindered real-time visibility.
System Limitations: Standard interfaces made it difficult to search via Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs) or perform bulk actions efficiently on the warehouse floor.
The Solution: Swift Mobility & Integration
Worthington Steel leveraged the Swift Platform to bridge the gap between their physical warehouse operations and Oracle Fusion Cloud. By utilizing Swift’s low-code capabilities and deep integration with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) and ESS Jobs, they created a mobile-first environment tailored to their specific business logic.
Key Transformation & Impact
Since going live, the Ephlux Swift apps have delivered measurable improvements in operational efficiency:
Driving Efficiency Across the Border
The Swift deployment has gone LIVE across the United States and Canada, empowering field and warehouse users to execute complex ERP tasks with “fewer clicks and fewer errors.”
By streamlining receiving, inspection, and shipment workflows, Worthington Steel has not only saved over 25 minutes of manual effort per shipment cycle but has also gained the agility to scale their operations without increasing administrative complexity.

“We feel that Swift is a God-sent and a game-changer for us. The ability for our BAs and even power users to create apps across mobile and web integrated with our ERP within a couple of days, that otherwise took months for a whole dev team, is amazingly empowering. It was hard to believe at first!”
