Aramtec, one of the UAE’s biggest food service companies, is adopting SAP solutions to become fully cloud-based and digitally empowered.
To fully automate Aramtec’s import of premium food brands and goods, as well as its online store Butchershop.ae, the company has committed to a transformation journey including an upgrade of its ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) landscape.
The company’s new strategy, titled Project Phoenix, will enhance the food services it delivers to hotels, restaurants, airlines and other commercial F&B outlets. With a need for flexibility, agility, and scalability, Aramtec’s adoption of cloud computing using RISE with SAP and S/4HANA solutions met all these criteria. SAP’s expertise in supply chain management and food service industries also helped deliver a tailored strategy.
Edgard Chalhoub, General Manager of Aramtec, said: “Our objective is to capitalise on the digitisation and automation benefits of technology to run our business more smoothly and to optimise our productivity and efficiency.
“We are set to achieve greater visibility and control over all areas of our operations as well as our complex supply chain and distribution network, as we have more than 2000 stock keeping units (SKUs) distributed to thousands of customers. Ultimately, Aramtec will have the capacity to respond quickly to our customers’ needs and changes in the supply chain environment.”
Aramtec’s move to the cloud was accelerated through its adoption of RISE with SAP, which provides a pathway to the cloud for any customer, irrespective of starting point or complexity.
Zakaria Haltout, Managing Director of SAP UAE, said: “The commitment Aramtec has made to becoming an SAP-designated Intelligent Enterprise means it is aligned with regional digital transformation plans while enhancing the services it delivers to existing and new-market customers.
“By leveraging SAP’s technology, it will enjoy precise stock control and record keeping, 360-degree views of all operations, automation of business processes, reduced total cost of ownership and the ability to manage business change and scale operations rapidly.”
The implementation of the SAP solutions at Aramtec is expected to go live in the third quarter this year.
