INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING SABBY GILL Executive Vice President, International for Epicor Software sales cycle of every single customer from tender to fulfilment is unique. Flawless execution hinges on tight integration and coordination between our associates in sales, engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, shipping and accounting. Implementing Epicor ERP has allowed us to rely on systems rather than manual processes, improve communication between departments, streamline operations and ultimately ensure that we deliver the highest quality product and service to our customers.” With the Epicor ERP system now serving as the backbone of the business, Aiman and his team are beginning to benefit from its rich www.intelligentcio.com functionality, specifically its reporting features, to improve business operations and aid management decision making. “We are currently working on building customised reports for each department. For example, our associates in purchasing now have granular visibility of purchase orders which ultimately contributes to improved OTD (on time delivery), arguably one of the most important manufacturing metrics. In addition to departmental reports, we are also working on developing data rich reports and dashboards for our senior management team that will give them a clear snapshot of the health of the business and allow them to make more informed business decisions.” “Havelock AHI faced some significant challenges with their previous ERP solution, specifically around usability and maintenance. We focused on delivering a solution that not only addressed the requirements and challenges of their industry and specific business, but was also easy to deploy and achieve last-mile functionality, operate, manage and upgrade,” said Sabby Gill, executive vice president, International for Epicor Software. “I am confident that Epicor ERP will provide Havelock AHI with the flexible and scalable platform they need to continue to innovate and grow their business in the region.” Aiman concluded, “At Havelock AHI, our core values are offering our customers outstanding quality, service and value, attention to detail and continuous improvement. We are also committed to providing our associates with an exciting and rewarding work environment. Choosing to partner with Epicor has provided us the platform we need to stay true to our values, and at the same time grow our business.” Full success story: http://www.epicor. com/MENA/Press-Room/Success- Story/Havelock-AHI.aspx INTELLIGENTCIO 77
