Multan Chemicals • Freelance
Jun 2026 - Sep 2026 • 3 mos
Since June 2026 I've been working as an AI and automation consultant for Multan Chemicals Limited (MCL), a chemicals manufacturer in Pakistan that delivers its products to dealers and clients in cylinders. MCL runs its business on Oracle (APEX, cloud hosted), but a lot of the actual work around it was still happening on paper. Orders were written down, bills were handwritten, drivers carried paper slips to clients, and at the end of it a data entry team sat and typed everything back into Oracle by hand. My job was to find where that paper was costing them time and accuracy, and replace it with software that talks to the system they already have. I designed and built two systems there: a full digital delivery pipeline with role-based mobile apps integrated with Oracle, and a document pipeline that reads their scanned ledger pages, works out what each page is, and files it under a proper name. The delivery system was the bigger of the two in terms of how many people it touches. Before I started, the flow looked like this. Production wrote a bill identified by an ECR number. The driver took that ECR along with the cylinders, the client signed a paper delivery challan, and the paper came back to the office where someone re-keyed it into Oracle. Every handoff was a place where data could go wrong. A number copied incorrectly, a quantity missed, a slip lost in the vehicle, a cash amount that didn't match what was written. And because the data entry happened days later, nobody had a live picture of what had left the warehouse, what was on the road, and what had been delivered. On top of that, the ECR numbers themselves couldn't be trusted as keys. MCL has several warehouses and around five different product book types, and each book restarted its numbering at 1 every financial year. So the same ECR number existed many times over, in different warehouses and different books. You can't build a reliable digital system on an identifier that repeats. One of the first things I
