Maliban Biscuit Manufactories opts for SAP ERP platform

Sri Lanka's pioneering biscuit manufacturer, Maliban Biscuit Manufactories has implemented a state-of-the-art Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform to streamline its business processes and thereby maximize efficiency.

Maliban is one of the first companies in Sri Lanka to adopt the Business Suite 4 SAP HANA (SAP S/4 HANA), which will make a significant contribution to make the business processes more productive.

Managing Director, Maliban, Ms Kumudika Fernando said, "We strive to achieve continuous improvement of our products and systems and processors. These improvements have already given us results. We aspire to adopt world-class practices for our business and as a result the management adopted the world's best ERP platform. I am confident that it will transform the entire organization."

With analytical information becoming a decisive factor for modern businesses, SAP S/4HANA will enable Maliban to equip itself with more in-depth and dynamic analyses of the market and customer demand trends.

This will prepare the organization to face the challenges of the future more effectively and efficiently. SAP S/4HANA is designed to drive business innovation with simplicity by connecting people, devices and business networks in real time to support the development of new business models. It also offers cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployment options to provide maximum choice to businesses.

General Manager (Finance), Maliban, Dilum Bellana said, "We will experience many cross departmental efficiencies and mitigate much work duplication within companies and departments. This will further improve the working environment for staff, helping us move towards a digital working environment."

"We will receive real time information for decision-making which is a key in our business environment. This platform will link us to our business partners enabling real time order generation helping suppliers and distributors manage optimum stock balances," he said.
