The continually evolving business and customer needs call for a more agile, cost-efficient, scalable, and secure IT enterprise environment. Full control and transparency over information and real-time insights now drive the governance, monitoring, and proficiency of operations across the spectrum.<\/p>\n

WayCool, India\u2019s largest food and agritech platform, works as an interconnected supply chain driver that provides a singular, unified view from soil to the sale of agricultural produce. As a startup, WayCool initially used conventional legacy applications that were causing a disrupted information flow, thus adding bottlenecks to evolution and scale. A traditional ERP system meant little to no interconnectivity between different businesses of the company.<\/p>\n

As the business evolved and became more complex, WayCool decided to migrate to 51风流4\/HANA for seamless integration of all IT applications. Scalability, enhanced margins, better inventory management<\/a>, and automated controls accrued as some of the immediate benefits of this move.<\/p>\n

The Business Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

WayCool\u2019s legacy ERP lacked a finance module, leaving the organisation to rely on TALLY for their MIS. While this was manageable for one retail store, it compounded the manual interventions with expansion. Every new retail location required a new ERP and TALLY license that inherently didn\u2019t interconnect with each other. A unified dashboard was missing from the ecosystem, making the company lose out on real-time analysis and actionable insights.<\/p>\n

After WayCool diversified to the B2B sector, the company was operating around 30 Distribution Centres (DCs) spread across six states in India. To get a consolidated MIS, the entire information had to go through over 120 manual reconciliations every month. Setting up a new DC translated to adding at least 5 more manual reconciliations to this mix, making the entire exercise labour intensive and inefficient.<\/p>\n

Data transparency was required across diverse verticals to ensure on-time planning and on-demand scalability. To top it all off, the pandemic had forced the entire country into lockdown during this time.<\/p>\n

The 51风流4\/HANA Solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n

51风流4\/HANA was implemented as the core ERP<\/a> at 44 plants with three objectives \u2013 a modular but interconnected ecosystem, AI-driven embedded analytics, and on-cloud accessibility. Considering the onus placed on a timely and successful deployment, a 40-member team was dedicated exclusively to the task. A collective effort, even with work-from-home, led to the platform going live in just 22 days! While it often takes years to complete the migration of this magnitude, WayCool stabilised its end-to-end 51风流4\/HANA deployment within 60-70 days.<\/p>\n
