Saudi Arabia’s Zahid Group reaches
milestone in digital transformation
with Infor Solution
Infor, a leading provider of business applications for the
cloud, has announced that the Zahid Group, which has its
headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, has achieved a key
milestone in its digital transformation strategy.
After extensive planning and preparation, EJAR, a Zahid
Group company, has successfully launched the first phase
of Infor’s innovative M3 solution.
The management of Zahid Group created a business
transformation roadmap in 2012, starting with the
implementation of Infor’s M3 software to standardise key
business functions across the group’s companies in order
to build a more effective workforce and deliver enhanced
customer acquisition and retention.
The resulting internal
efficiencies, improved
decision-making and
customer service
enhancements enable
Zahid Group to enhance
the perception of
its brand as well as
after-sales service and
customer care.
Zahid Group’s goal of achieving operational excellence
aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to diversify the
Kingdom’s economic interests in the private sector. Tarik Taman, general
manager, IMEA, Infor, said: “Zahid Group was looking for
a competitive edge in an increasingly challenging and
competitive market. Not only does Infor’s M3 solution
provide flexibility to manage mix-mode and complex
environments, it also provides the agility and scalability
needed to succeed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s
dynamic private sector.”
Building on the existing Infor infrastructure, Zahid Group
will be rolling out more companies in the near future on the
same solution, in addition to implementing additional Infor
solutions to better serve its customers. Infor’s M3 solution comprises scalable applications critical
to the heavy equipment industry, including supply chain
execution, warehouse mobility, sales management and
financial accounting.
