Flat Products Equipments-Safal

Safal is an ERP project implemented by Flat Products Equipments Ltd. It is an

implementation of SAP using all the SAP modules, such as MM, PP, SD, QM, FI, SO,

including the project system and HR modules. The project is fully commissioned

and maintained by the in-house IT team of five members. Safal went live in a

span of six months.

In this period, the IT team also trained 150 users in the company. The ERP

system was deployed in the company because the legacy system was not able to

handle problems such as tracking the costs of a project.

There was no integrated system for the entire company. Therefore, progress of

the company's various projects was not known, as at any given time, at least 25

projects were being executed. Keeping track of procurement activities was also

difficult.

To solve these issues, MySAP ERP 2004 was installed in the head office and

connectivity was provided to all the four factories with leased lines. To

maximize the returns of investments on leased lines, the same lines were also

used for VoIP across the branches, which reduced telephony costs for the

company.

	Project Specs Business problem: Absence of an integrated system leads to re-procurement of raw materials and lack of project management. IT solution: MySAP 2004 Impact: The company achieved 628 % growth after the implementation of the ERP system. IT Implementation partner:In-house
