Executive Summary
BMW Ventures Limited distributes iron & steel and mobiles — TATA Steel products, HR coils, doors and John Deere tractors. Before SAP Business One, the weighbridge system and the ERP were not integrated, several systems across finance and operations ran separately, and management lacked a real-time view of operations.
On SAP Business One HANA, implemented by TEKROI, the company brought finance, supply chain, project management, logistics and warehouse management together on one platform — and connected its weighbridges directly to the ERP through the HyperTerminal IoT interface. Invoicing accuracy and speed improved by 85%, and customer satisfaction rose 70% on the back of faster responses, reports and communication through the mobile app.
The Challenge: Steel Operations Without Weighbridge Truth
- Lack of integration between the weighbridge system and the ERP made delivery planning and invoicing cumbersome.
- Several systems across finance and operations were not integrated.
- Inadequate reporting with no real-time view of operations made decision-making difficult.
Why SAP Business One and TEKROI
- SAP Business One offered end-to-end financials along with inventory, sales, marketing, distribution, procurement and logistics management in one integrated platform.
- BMW Ventures Ltd partnered with TEKROI for its specialization in helping businesses use SAP Business One to grow.
The Solution: SAP Business One HANA with IoT Weighbridge Integration
- Actual weight calculation is automated through the HyperTerminal interface, eliminating manual collection of gross and tare weights and avoiding pilferage.
- Delivery and invoice documents are automated from the HyperTerminal integration, saving time on every dispatch.
- Integration of financials with material resource planning has improved purchasing planning, inventory management and procurement.
- Real-time analytics and reporting dashboards enable fast, informed decisions across departments.
- Integrated data and standardized processes streamline customer communication and enable faster deliveries.
Results
- 85% — improved accuracy and speed of customer invoicing processes.
- 70% — higher customer satisfaction due to faster responses, reports and communication through the mobile app.
