Executive Summary
AquaChemie operates in chemicals across the Gulf and India — manufacturing and distribution where products move in bulk and packaged forms, cross borders routinely, and carry documentation obligations at every step.
With TEKROI as implementation partner, AquaChemie runs its operations on cloud-hosted SAP Business One: multi-entity operations, batch-managed chemical inventory in multiple units of measure, import/export flows with landed costing, and consolidated finance — one platform across geographies.
About AquaChemie
AquaChemie is a chemicals group operating from Dubai with an Indian manufacturing presence in water treatment chemicals, serving industrial customers across the region.
The Challenge: Chemical Distribution Operations in the Gulf
Cross-border chemicals combine physical and administrative complexity:
- Two geographies, multiple entities — operations in the UAE and India needed shared process discipline with local compliance.
- Bulk and packaged in one inventory — the same product in drums, IBCs and bulk demanded multi-UoM control without double-counting.
- Batch obligations — chemical batches carry documentation and traceability requirements through to the customer.
- Import/export economics — landed costs and cross-border movements determined real margins.
- Consolidated view — management needed the group picture across currencies and entities.
The Solution: SAP Business One for Chemical Manufacturing & Trading
TEKROI implemented cloud-hosted SAP Business One across AquaChemie’s operations:
Multi-Entity Core
- Common processes across UAE and India entities with entity-level compliance and intercompany flows.
Chemical Inventory
- Batch-managed stock in multiple units of measure — bulk and packaged reconciled in one inventory.
Trade & Costing
- Import/export documentation flows with landed cost capture into margins.
Finance
- Entity books and group consolidation on live data, hosted in the cloud.
TEKAI — AI on Live Data
- TEKAI answers across both geographies from the live system — stock and batches in either entity, receivables, intercompany positions — one conversational layer over a two-country operation.
Implementation Journey
TEKROI’s fixed-scope methodology took the project from assessment to go-live through eight stages: assessment, blueprint, configuration, customization, data migration, training, go-live and ongoing support.
Results
- One platform, two geographies — UAE and India operate on shared processes with local compliance intact.
- Inventory that adds up — bulk and packaged forms of the same product reconciled through multi-UoM control.
- Margins on true cost — landed costs flow into every sale’s economics.
- Group picture on demand — consolidated performance across entities without spreadsheet assembly.
- Cloud operations — the platform runs hosted, keeping IT overhead off the plant floor.
- One AI over two countries — TEKAI makes the Dubai and India operations equally askable, live.
Why This Story Matters
Chemicals businesses grow across borders before they grow large — and their systems usually don’t keep up. AquaChemie shows SAP Business One carrying a multi-entity, multi-UoM, cross-border chemicals operation from the cloud.
