Abhar Wire & Cable to Become Iran's First Company to Implement Powerful Java-based ERP
Abhar Wire & Cable (AW+C), Iran's leading producer of industrial wires and cables, and one of the country's most sophisticated/modern manufacturing units, announced the decision to implement Unity on Demand, Logo Business Solutions' advanced Web-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution.
"Experiencing tremendous growth, close to 1000% in the past 5 years, triggered an action plan at our board level to utilize the best of breed solutions to streamline our processes and boost productivity in all parts of our business" said Mr. Ali Kolahi, AW+C's Vice Chairman.. "It took us a while to figure out the optimal way to map the overall project, which consists of conducting a comprehensive Business Process Re-engineering (BPR), implementing a sophisticated cable-design software system, and of course an advanced ERP system to automate processes, seamlessly integrate all functions, and generate mission critical management reports" added Mr. Kolahi.
Logo Business Solutions, which recently set up its major international office in Dubai to cater to growing support needs of local partners and clients in the Middle East, is to allocate a dedicated team of local and international ERP experts for the implementation. "As we grow our team and move into our Internet City office, we are more prepared than ever to support our partners and clients in the region", said Mr. Loey Osman, Logo Business Solutions-Dubai's Managing Director in charge of the Middle East, CIS, and North African regions. "We consider AW+C a very strategic and important client in Iran and the region, and are fully committed to make it an exemplary implementation for Unity on Demand (UOD), our latest and fully web-based solution" added Mr. Osman.
Being chosen thrice as one of the top/leading Industrial companies in Iran and winning the country's prestigious "National Quality Award" on three occasions, AW+C is a key supplier of high quality and specialized wires and cables to key sectors such as Oil & Gas and Power industries.
"As one of the country's leading manufacturing companies in a strategic industry, on which many other sectors depend, we consider AW+C a very special case with unique requirements" said Mr. Amir Cyrus Razzaghi, Andisheh Ara's CEO, and Logo Business Solutions' first partner in Iran. "We are aiming to demonstrate the powerful features and unparalleled flexibility of Unity on Demand in AW+C's implementation to set new standards in ERP utilization in the manufacturing sector", added Mr. Razzaghi.
Being in the planning phase, the project implementation is to start in early 2008 and is expected to go fully live before the end of the same year.
