In addition to their business offerings, our customer has taken various socio-economic initiatives to improve the lives of rural poultry farmers, as well as underprivileged children, women, and youth.
Customer Challenge:
Our customer, a poultry farm business, used to rely on manual processes to track and manage their operations. They used to provide food and medicine to their own and third-party farms and conduct health check-ups, weight checks, and determine whether the chicken is dead or alive. Their supervisors visit the farms regularly to keep records, which are later verified and entered into SAP by the branch manager. Sales orders and delivery tasks are also managed in SAP, with the sales supervisor visiting the farm to complete the dispatch process and record weighment of chickens on paper. Once the truck is loaded, the supervisor submits the report to the back-office team for completing the sales data entry. However, this process is time-consuming and prone to errors.
The customer was facing the challenge of implementing a solution that can streamline their operations and provide a more efficient and accurate way of tracking their activities. They were looking for an online and offline solution that can be accessed through a smart device by their supervisors, enabling them to record data on the go.

They integrated the application with SAP for Production order, notification schedule, and sales delivery data sync. The application enabled supervisors to enter data, and sales and weighment supervisors to self-approve their entries. It listed entries for the current month on the mobile device, and data was synced with BTP when an internet connection was established.

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, reports and data are a vital lifeline for any successful company. KLT had no shortage of daily reports that needed to be delivered to management, customers, and vendors alike. However, their current system was simply unable to keep up with the sheer volume of data that was being generated.
On top of that, KLT’s dispatch, purchase, and accounts processes were all in dire need of automation. The company knew that automating these critical functions would be the key to increasing productivity and maintaining their competitive edge.

Currently, they are in the process of automating their ASN & Invoice process with customers, as well as the Goods receipt and invoice booking process.
One of the key features of RISE with SAP that they found to be incredibly useful was the Fiori or dashboard reports. This allowed them to easily pull reports in various layouts, without relying on junior staff members. Mid-level management was especially thrilled with this feature, as they could now gain insights into the company’s performance and operations without any delays or bottlenecks. With RISE with SAP, the client was able to streamline their processes and make data-driven decisions that would propel their business forward.

Through our 7 years of expertise, we ensure businesses continue to outperform while technology changes, allowing them to focus on their core competencies.
In one of our recent projects, we worked with a major global provider of multi-mineral solutions with operations around the globe. Their IT infrastructure analysis showed significant inconsistencies and several issues with their SAP deployment.
To complete the life cycle management of IT applications and create a 360-degree model for daily operations, we advised implementing SAP AMS. This enhanced the efficiency of their departments and enabled them to adapt to the needs of their clients while at the same time concentrating on their business procedures.
The recent partnership we had with a client running one of Gujarat’s largest automation plants at Method GIDC in Rajkot, with a production capacity of over 75,000 square feet, serves as the ideal illustration of this.
In the Indian and global markets, our client a CPG company has been able to attain a reputable and trustworthy position through its par Quality, Reliability, Faith and Efficiency.
Our client reported malfunctions with their SAP systems. A complete diagnosis of their I.T infrastructure revealed an absence of preventive and corrective maintenance and support.
This was addressed by implementing corrective actions through the provision of SAP AMS services, which led to a focus on a long-term strategy, where they improved their operational efficiency and gave individualized attention for a faster response.
