kada Manila is a US$2.4bn development that is the largest and most expensive property in Entertainment City, in Manila, Philippines.

Set in 44 hectares of prime land, it is positioned as an integrated resort with features that cater to different kinds of people, yet it mainly stands for one thing: entertainment. While it has a casino and gaming area— the largest in the country in terms of size and gaming options—it has a rich array of unique and world-class amenities that truly spoil its guests with choices on how they would like to spend their time, from relaxation to shopping to dining and other kinds of entertainment.

Its most iconic feature is the US$30mn The Fountain, which brings select music to life through a fantastic choreography of light and water. Aimed to become Manila’s main tourism icon, this fountain is designed and developed by WET, the same team

behind the world’s most popular water features in Las Vegas and Dubai. Okada Manila is also home to the country’s first-ever indoor beach club and nightclub, Cove Manila.

Enclosed in a glass dome, 100m in diameter and 30m in height, Cove Manila features artificial white sand and can host up to 3,000 guests.

Okada Manila is being built against a backdrop of how the Philippines has become a hotbed for investment and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The government’s sixyear “Build Build Build” construction and infrastructure initiative is set to further attract new and upcoming services here, such as the launch of integrated resorts that contain hotels, retail outlets, spa and leisure facilities, traditional gaming services and much more. Moreover, developers are now catering to an increased

consumer desire to seek a complete experience, rather than spend money on one area of entertainment.

“The different kinds of tourists, such as families, are not going to be encouraged to come here if there is no variety of exciting and worthwhile things for them to do,” explains Lisanne Bogle, Vice President of Supply Chain for Okada Manila.

“That’s why integrated resorts give an all-encompassing answer: they provide something for everyone.

“There are four integrated resorts in Manila: Resorts World, City of Dreams, Solaire and Okada. Traditionally, gaming has been popular with tourists from various Asian countries and Las Vegas used to be the draw. With the advent of gaming in Macau and southeast Asia, the number of tourists to these destinations has increased, especially VIP guests who provide

“The region’s economy has grown and expanded in the last several years, which also means an increase in disposable income.

Citizens from many countries are able to travel more and explore many sought-after destinations.”

Leisure and Entertainment Inc., Okada Manila houses a number of diverse food and beverage outlets, retail, leisure, sports and spa facilities and, of course, traditional gaming services which are open 24-7. Although it is mostly complete, there is still some ongoing construction, and Okada Manila’s procurement team faces a number of challenges in its daily operations.

Its vast team is split into three areas to cater for these demands:

Manila maintains onsite warehousing for over five hundred items, including operating supplies and also food and beverage items. The warehouse team manages over 500 SKUs, many of which have different weights and expiration dates. “We’re dealing with many products that do not have a fixed case weight,” Bogle says. “As these cases go into inventory, we need to be able to record the actual incoming weights, the costs and subsequently the average inventory cost to

“When we order beef, it doesn’t necessarily come in a fixed case weight, but in an average case weight. However, we get charged by the kilogram, not by the case. You may say that a case is an average of 25kg, but there are times we receive 24.7kg, then the next time we receive 25.3 kg.

WE HELP PEOPLE BE THEIR BEST IN THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER Motorola Solutions is a global leader in businessto-business communications and technology solutions for emergency services and commercial organizations, encompassing both hardware equipment and software applications.

As a high-tech company with a global history of 89 years, Motorola Solutions has 14,000 employees in over 60 countries, including the Asia Pacific region where we have been present over the past 40 years with 31 offices in the region including Philippines.

Today, our solutions are being deployed throughout the Philippines in sectors including public safety, transportation, oil and gas and hospitality. With innovation ingrained in our DNA, our advanced technology can help organizations to service clients with reliability and security, keep industry workers safe as well as enable hotels and retailers to provide guests with memorable experiences.

“Although you won’t always see our technology in the foreground, it’s always in use, helping

emergency services and commercial organizations to work more safely, as well as increase productivity and efficiency,” says Jane Coo, Country Manager, Motorola Solutions Philippines.

Okada Manila, an integrated resort covering over 44 hectares of prime land has recently implemented Motorola Solutions TETRA digital two-way radios and WAVE work group communications to connect employees working across diverse operations, such as security, food and beverage outlets, retail, leisure, sports and spa facilities, and 24/7 traditional gaming services.

“Digital radios help our staff to enjoy clear, crisp and uninterrupted communication over our vast premises. With such extensive operations, connectivity is crucial to ensure that we provide quality service to our customers. In addition, WAVE helps to link up employees using two-way radios with colleagues at desktop machines, mobile phones, tablets or any other communication device to enable wider coverage”, says Lisanne Bogle, Vice President of Supply Chain, Okada Manila.

our inventory based on what we call catch weight variances,” she adds.

“Most large ERP solutions have not been successful in providing a solution for this specific requirement.

Additionally, we now utilise a new bolt-on solution to RedRock that has allowed us to increase the efficiency of our supplier registration and accreditation via an electronic supplier portal. Initially, the use of that portal is for our vendors to undergo vendor registration and accreditation.

Vendors are provided with a username and password and a link to access the portal. They complete an online application providing us with required information on their company, and

they upload pertinent licenses, permits, insurance documents and financials. The business process team will then verify for authenticity, work with risk management on the financial assessments and conduct background investigations. This online portal has saved us a significant amount of time reducing the process from nearly three weeks to a matter of days. Then, the second part of this solution will allow us to do electronic RFIs, RFQs and RFPs, as it actually ties in with RedRock. All processes within one framework reducing the volume of excel spreadsheets and tender documents and paper files.”

“Identifying the right software

do business, how we do business, and how we can work to eliminate some of that excess cost that is added into the cost of goods.”

Systematic processes The integrated resort sector in the Philippines is still in its infancy and that means that experienced resources are sometimes limited.

Training is key, and finding the right individuals with the right attitude and potential is the starting point at

Okada Manila. As a result, it continues to be committed to undertaking an ongoing talent development drive and deliver extensive training across its operations.

“We spend a lot of time working with our teams, whether it be on an individual basis or whether it be in a group setting, to really get them up to speed,” Bogle explains. “If you clarify why things are done, you then get the support which in turn brings a better result.”

In addition to training, ensuring transparency is something that Bogle stresses is of utmost importance within Okada Manila’s procurement functions. Transparency of vendor selection, the tender process, the award are all non-negotiable.

Processes and controls are also vitally important to the success of Supply Chain within the organisation. “We educate our BUs on our SOPs, we are constantly evaluating our SOPs as the business changes to ensure that we are covering all angles,” Bogle notes. “We do not want to strangle the operation, but we need to ensure that all processes are adhered to. Accountability, visibility and responsibility are buzzwords for the supply chain team. Strict regulations have also ensured that compliancy continues to be an essential area of focus within Okada Manila’s procurement team.”

Long-term growth There are more exciting times ahead for Okada Manila and the Supply Chain team. Nonetheless, despite the challenges, Bogle is enthusiastic about the growth of integrated resorts and Okada Manila’s long-term potential. “Our guests are not looking to sit at a table for 24 hours nonstop. They’re looking for entertainment,” she concludes. “They’re looking for that experience, and that is something that we will give them.”
