Implementing Netsuite ERP To Streamline
Communication & Optimize Business Processes

Problem

Communication gaps and process delays were leading to inefficiencies in production and performance.

Need

The client needed visibility and better communication to be able to streamline performance as well as operations, which could only be achieved with an ERP system.

Solution

Folio3 helped implement the NetSuite ERP, along with migrating their data and integrating their existing applications, which helped the client automate processes, improve reporting, reduce costs, and gain the necessary visibility.

About

Arabian Farms

Operating successfully for more than 40 years, Arabian Farms is known to be the largest poultry products provider in the UAE. With a bird management capacity of over 8.7 million birds per year and an egg production capacity of more than 270 million, the company shares a feed mill capacity of more than 3000 tons between Dubai, Al Kharj, and Al Ain.

Understanding the Challenge

Difficult to Communicate and Share Data Between Functions

The existing setup and lack of integration between different functions and departments within the organization made it hard to communicate effectively and share data and resources. This made it difficult to manage different aspects of the business such as raising poultry, production and planning, sales and distribution, and even accounting and customer service.

The client has a huge production line with a massive amount of data, which made migration a big challenge.
They also needed to implement the Van Sales system and integrate it with their ERP.
They needed custom modules for quality management and also fixed asset maintenance and management.

Why is Digital Transformation
Important?

Successful meat producers and processors in the 21st century need to be extremely productive, efficient, and resilient if they are to stand the test of digital, the data driven, revolution in the sector. It plays a pivotal role in driving optimum outcomes by controlling and managing data across the value chain.

Building the Solution

Implementing the NetSuite ERP & Building Custom Modules

Folio3 set up and implemented the NetSuite ERP system for three of the client’s subsidiaries. We also developed and deployed custom modules such as HR Payroll, Quality Management Solutions (QMS), and Fixed Assets. Furthermore, we integrated the new ERP with their CRM and helped them with data migration.

Our Approach

Understanding The User Journey
We went through an intensive product discovery phase with the client where we tried to understand and dissect the challenges they were facing and get to the root cause behind them.
Building Wireframes & Designs
After detailed discussions with the client on their requirements and mapping the workflow according to their needs, we showed them wireframes of the extensions and modules we created and got them approved.
Development & Implementation
We developed the new modules and implemented the NetSuite ERP for them after customizing it according to their exact requirements.
Training
We offered the basic training to help them understand the new ERP and modules so they could leverage NetSuite and the powerful functionality and features associated with it.
