Company: A roofing manufacturer Headquarters: Karnataka, IndiaIndustry: ManufacturingProducts and Services: Roofing Products and solutions

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Based in Karnataka, this roofing manufacturer is recog-nized as a leader among roofing manufacturers and is experienced with many kinds of roofs.

The company produces GALVALUME sheet steel which is a 55% Al-Zn coated sheet steel product that is ideally suited for most types of roofing and siding applications. It offers a unique blend of corrosion resistance and high heat reflectivity, form-ability and paint-ability finds wide range of applicability and is beneficial for use in construction applications.

The corrugation, wall cladding, tile and curved roofing accessories are manufactured from the high quality raw material coils of PPGI (Pre Painted Galvanized Iron), PPGL (Pre Painted Galvalume) and NCGL (Non Colour Galvalume).The HO and the manufacturing plant are located near Bangalore.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

With its commitment to provide holistic and quality solu-tions to its customers, the company has become one of the largest, most successful companies in roofing busi-ness. In recent years, however, heightened competition and shrinking margins led the firm to realize that to sustain and grow further it has to let go its old systems and methods that were inept to handle the complexities of a changing environment, and deploy a state of the art technology.

Streamlining and integrating its complex business processes from procurement, inventory, manufacturing to sales and shipping has become an inevitable necessity. In particular, their procurement function, a unique process involving purchases of metal sheets based on special specifications typically a combination of length-width-quantity called for an immediate reformation. On the other hand, its production throughput defied the target due lack of integration among the key processes, delayed decisions, material non availability and cost overruns.

To sum it up, to achieve true competitive differentiation, the company realized it needed to leverage IT and quickly transform and integrate all its key business processes on to a single platform, increase transparency and flow of information and find opportunities to increase efficiency levels and reduce costs.

RODE: THE PERFECT FIT

The company evaluated several ERP software and vendors before it found a best fit solution under one roof, from Ramco. The company’s team unanimously zeroed down on Ramco OnDemand ERP (RODE), a SaaS based powerful ERP that was available on pay per user model.

They saw all the benefits of an integrated ERP system, which came equipped with necessary tools and frame-work to better execute their functions, streamline its supply chain, address their industry challenges, and help them increase efficiency and productivity, while maintain-ing quality standards and increasing profitability.

Yet the solution was cost effective- required just an Inter-net connection without investment on new hardware, training or additional IT staff. The best part was the deployment process was easy and quick and the new system was up and running in am matter of few days.

From the beginning, Ramco closely worked with the company and identified the opportunities and challenges that can be met by deploying RODE. With these factors identified and extensive due diligence completed, Ramco delivered its most powerful ERP solution on the cloud.The deployment was carried out as per the plan and deadline.
