Excel Crop Care Limited (ECCL) operates numerous offices, manufacturing plants and warehouses but was unable to automatically share key business information across the sites.
BUSINESS NEED: With continued growth planned, the company wanted to make enterprise-wide data sharing easier. Rather than upgrade its already complex custom applications, the company needed help migrating all its operations to a single centralized SAP solution.
SOLUTION: IBM Global Business Services helped ECCL design and implement an enterprise-wide my SAP solution to manage the company's supply chain operations. This enabled ECCL staff at any company location to obtain the real-time information they need to do their jobs.
BENEFITS: The company has realized cost savings up to 60,66,000 Rs annually. Process improvements and faster data sharing increase overall company efficiency and productivity, and a standardized platform will scale to match company growth.
