01The industry challenge

Cement is a cost-per-tonne business run across a quarry, a plant and a dealer network.

Power and fuel — the biggest cost lines — get averaged monthly instead of tracked per tonne produced

Quarry-to-crusher-to-kiln material movement lives on slips; silo stock is an estimate

Dispatch is a weighbridge queue where truck, order and invoice must agree — and often don’t

Dealer schemes, rate differences and freight make invoice-level margin invisible

Packing material and additives run out unannounced because consumption never posts in real time

02Connected operational journey

One flow, from first material to final dispatch.

1 Quarry & raw materials

2 Crushing

3 Raw mill

4 Kiln & clinker

5 Cement grinding

6 Packing & dispatch

Every tonne visible from quarry weighment through kiln and grinding to packed dispatch.

03One connected cement solution

Three layers. One system.

From quarry receipt through crushing, blending, kiln and grinding to packed dispatch, the tonne stays visible: consumption posting by stage, silo and godown stock live, weighbridge-confirmed dispatch against sales orders, dealer-wise pricing and scheme handling on the invoice, and freight captured per trip so the delivered cost per bag is a number, not a feeling. Maruti Cements runs this on SAP Business One in Nepal — quarry to counter.

The transactional core

Integrated finance, purchasing, inventory, sales, production, projects and reporting.

Industry solutions

Industry processes, controls, integrations, localisations and specialised workflows.

Intelligence on top

AI questions, insights, alerts and agentic automation using live business context.

04Costing, margins and control

Built for cement manufacturing — not adapted to it.

Cost per tonne by stage — power and fuel allocated to production, not the month; packing and additive consumption posted as it happens; freight per dispatch feeding delivered margin per dealer. Exception-based control by responsibility: the plant head watches power cost per tonne and silo levels, sales watches dealer-wise realization net of schemes and freight, the promoter watches one number — margin per tonne, today.

Ask your operations anything.

TEKAI answers from live business context — and turns exceptions into alerts and actions before they become losses.

07Industry FAQs

SAP Business One for cement manufacturing — asked and answered.

Can SAP Business One track cost per tonne in cement?

Yes — stage-wise consumption posting with power, fuel, packing and freight allocated to production gives a live cost per tonne.

Does it handle dealer schemes and rate differences?

Yes — scheme and pricing structures apply at invoice, so dealer-wise net realization is visible without spreadsheets.

Can dispatch run through the weighbridge?

Yes — weighbridge-confirmed quantities post against sales orders at the gate.

Is there cement proof?
