ACICO Group
Operational efficiency across 13 companies
Aerated Concrete Industries Company (ACICO) is a leading construction, building and concrete manufacturing group operating across the GCC, with plants in Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. As the group grew to six vertical companies and 13 subsidiaries running on three disparate accounting systems, departments became isolated and management lost a real-time view of sales and finance. INC Technologies — Microsoft Gold Certified Business Solutions Partner — analysed ACICO's operations and delivered Microsoft Dynamics AX, streamlining everything from order management and supply chain to capacity planning.
Objectives
- Replace three disparate accounting systems with one integrated platform
- Handle inter-company transactions across 13 subsidiaries
- Give management a real-time enterprise view of sales and finance
What we did
- Thorough analysis of operations by INC Technologies
- Microsoft Dynamics AX across finance, sales, inventory, purchasing & production
- Total cost of ownership 25–30% lower than competing ERP
Results
- Increased operational efficiency even in early rollout
- Streamlined, integrated processes across the group
- Higher productivity and levels of integration
“Even in the early development phase, ACICO has achieved a significant increase in operational efficiencies. Both INC Technologies and Microsoft took the time to understand our business and put together a great solution for us.”
