Lighting, at Distribution Speed

Executive Summary

V-TAC operates in LED lighting and renewable energy products — a catalogue business where thousands of fast-evolving SKUs move from global sourcing through regional warehousing into trade and project channels, with warranties trailing every sale.

With TEKROI as implementation partner, V-TAC’s operation runs on SAP Business One: sourcing and landed costs, SKU-deep inventory, multi-channel sales, and finance on one core built for distribution speed.

About V-TAC

V-TAC is a lighting and renewable energy products brand; its Dubai operation serves trade, retail and project customers across the region.

The Challenge: LED Lighting Distribution Across UAE, UK & Europe

High-SKU distribution runs on operational tempo — and the systems must keep it:

• SKU depth — thousands of items across generations of product made stock accuracy and lifecycle management a daily battle.
• Sourcing economics — container-level purchases needed landed costs allocated correctly to know any SKU’s true margin.
• Channel mix — trade counters, projects and retail each demanded their own pricing and fulfilment behavior.
• Warranty tail — returns and replacements across a large installed base needed a systematic path, not goodwill accounting.

The Solution: SAP Business One for Multi-Market Distribution

TEKROI implemented SAP Business One as V-TAC’s distribution core:

Sourcing & Landed Cost

• Import purchasing with shipment-wise landed cost allocation down to SKU level.

Inventory

• SKU-deep, location-wise stock with lifecycle discipline as ranges evolve.

Multi-Channel Sales

• Trade, project and retail pricing and credit handled distinctly on one order-to-cash flow.

Returns & Warranty

• Warranty returns and replacements processed in-system, feeding quality and cost visibility.

Finance

• Margins by SKU and channel on live data.

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

• True margin per SKU — landed costs land on the item, so profitability is known, not assumed.
• Stock at catalogue depth — thousands of SKUs held accurately across locations and lifecycles.
• Channels served distinctly — trade, project and retail behavior handled without parallel systems.
• Warranty under control — the after-sales tail is processed and costed systematically.

Why This Story Matters

Distribution businesses win on tempo and die on stock errors. V-TAC shows SAP Business One holding catalogue depth, landed-cost truth and channel complexity at distribution speed.
