Zahid Heanor, one of the top five transport companies in Saudi Arabia has implemented Sage Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software to manage its business. The solution comprised of modules to handle inventory management, sales order processing, purchasing and ledgers.
Prakash Mani, General Manager of Zahid Heanor said, “We chose Sage ERP because it was easy to use and quick to implement. The system was bilingual and we could enter certain customer information in Arabic. Prior to Sage, we were using an in-house system that did not offer us an upgrade path. We also wanted to modernize our current systems and procedures.”
Prakash Mani continued, “Sage has improved data visibility and decision making in Zahid Heanor. They can now analyze profitability by customer, vehicle or route and focus on the most profitable business.”
Khaled Gamal, Finance Manager of Zahid Heanor said, “Sage has streamlined our invoicing process thus saving us time. We’ve reduced outstanding receipts using better credit control. We’ve also improved inventory management of our vehicle spare parts using Sage. This has reduced delays in vehicle service and over stocking of expensive vehicle parts. ”
“In the future, Zahid Heanor plans to streamline shipment tracking using software integrated to Sage. We also plan to use Sage improve our vehicle maintenance scheduling” said Khaled.
