The strategic implementation of the Financials module of the Oracle E-Business Suite will integrate business and accounting processes ensuring that company executives have up-to-the minute information on all financial aspects of their operations. The implementation of Oracle HRMS modules including Payroll, Time and Labour, Self Service, business intelligence will automate all aspects of routine human resources management and allows KGL to develop and manage its human capital efficiently.
KGL CEO Engineer Saeed Ismail Dashti said 'Currently KGL is embarking on a growth strategy and aims at expanding its transportation and port management operations across the GCC region and the foray into business related to its core activities in logistics. The expansion initiative stems from the expected growth in the regional trade and the inevitable market integration. We are one of the largest provider of integrated transport and logistics solutions in the region and our main activities are stevedoring, terminal handling, warehousing, freight forwarding, customs clearance, car rental, environmental protection& cleaning services, and overland passenger services, therefore, we need the best IT solutions available and it was a natural decision to resort to Oracle E-Business Suite Financials and Oracle HRMS which we will integrate with Navis, the world leading solution in containers management'.
Dr. Ali Dashti, General Manager of AXIS which specializes in providing innovative Information and Communication Technology and assigned by KGL to implement Oracle E-Business Suite modules and Navis, said 'After a very thorough study of KGL's specific requirements and diversified activities we reached a conclusion that Oracle E-Business Suite is the most appropriate if not the only solution that fulfils our needs and also the most suitable to link with NAVIS. In addition, we followed closely Oracle's contribution to the management of Al Ain Al Shuhna Port in Egypt and were very impressed.
Husam Dajani, Vice-President, Oracle, Middle East and Africa commented on KGL selection of Oracle by saying 'As a leading transport and logistics company in the region KGL made the right choice, Oracle is proud to help KGL maintain its leadership position and will work very closely with KGL and provide all the help and support to ensure they utilize our solution to the maximum. I am also delighted that KGL recognized Oracle contributions in the area of logistics and port managements in the region.
