Karachi: Pakistan’s industry leaders, K-Electric and Indus Motors Company Limited, have successfully rolled through the COVID-19 pandemic with the adoption of intelligent holistic business operation solutions by SAP, a global technology company, setting a precedent for Pakistan’s business industry with digital transformation.
Indus Motors’s Agility Due to Technology Investments
Indus Motor Company Limited, a leading Pakistani automobile manufacturer, has also revolutionized the Pakistan business industry, by being the first company worldwide to have implemented the next-generation suite in the automotive industry.
The seamless integration of SAP’s cloud platform has given Indus Motors access to expansive memory, while SAP’s S/4 HANA has enabled Indus Motors to enhance its operations in terms of procuring demands and ensuring supply within a faster delivery time, accelerating its overall productivity and customer satisfaction.
“Due to the pandemic, the majority of our staff who worked directly at the plant had to work from home,” said Faizan Mustafa, CIO and Digital Innovation Head, Indus Motors. “Our digital transformation with SAP, allowed us to regulate all our operations remotely without any hassle and allowed us to keep up with the demands of our customers. Taking into account the constant fluctuations in our demands, SAP’s S/4 HANA helped us with flexibility and speed in materials requirements planning (MRP), improving it by 95 percent as compared to previous processing times. With further investment in IBP and RPA, we aim to enhance our efficiency and productivity to meet the ever-increasing demands of our customers.”
