The new solution at the Jawad facility has ensured a minimal document processing time thanks to the integration with the ERP and automation for Garments Operations thanks to the integration with the GOH system. The challenge in such projects is to have one system cater for all the different requirements, processes and equipments used and communicate smoothly with other applications.
