Objective
Al-Futtaim Group was using various scattered systems for Accounting Management, Project Management, Vendors and CRM. With dual source of entry in SAP ERP and PMWeb, data duplicity and mismatch was a major issue.
Key challenges
- 01Projects were managed in PMWeb; invoices processed in SAP ERP; credit checks done in a 3rd party SaaS system.
- 02Payments related to milestones were manually captured from PMWeb and then updated in SAP ERP for payments.
- 03After payments, data was manually updated again in PMWeb with the latest milestone status.
- 04Multiple systems led to data duplicity, mismatches and significant manual effort.
