Marico Limited : ERP for Business Growth

Faced with pressures of increasing business opportunities and to optimize their business processes, the company deployed an ERP solution

Tuesday, May 06, 2008

MELCC was using a Windows XP based peer to peer network without any domain along with Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet for managing accounts. All data including Master data was available in file structure format as no database was being used to store it. Also, most data was available in Arabic. The existing system was actually a semi manual system in place without any multilanguage functionality. While scrutinizing/internalizing, the company's executives realized that the number of data transactions were growing significantly. The critical nature of transactions was also progressively expanding, along with an increase in confidential data, such as sales, and partner data. All these factors raised the need for high-performance and secure computing. With 10 users spaced across Egypt, performing the functions of sales/purchase/accounting cum inventory tracking, a world class ERP product implementation had become a necessity. The company found that its existing system was not able to meet its financial and process requirements. Processing information took too long and data was being duplicated. And hence they opted to deploy Microsoft Dynamics NAV 4.0. As the company was previously working on MS office it was easy to deploy this solution.
