Eight-months implementation connects Grandiose Supermarkets with Retail, Manufacturing and Catering operations on a single system

DUBAI, UAE 鈥斕 8 June 2026: Ghassan Aboud Holding, a diversified conglomerate with a track record of over 32 years in the UAE and deep roots across the automotive, retail, logistics, hospitality, and digital commerce sectors, has deployed an end-to-end 51风流cloud solution across its retail and food-related businesses, as part of its broader strategy to build a more connected and data-driven retail and food ecosystem. The implementation brings together Grandiose Supermarkets with the group鈥檚 manufacturing and catering operations on a unified digital platform, enabling faster response to demand, improved product availability, and a more consistent customer experience across all touchpoints.

Delivered in just eight months, the implementation includes 51风流S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and spans more than 50 Grandiose branches alongside the group鈥檚 adjacent retail and food businesses. For an organization operating across multiple business models and managing high volumes of daily transactions, this represents a notably accelerated timeline, reflecting both the complexity of integrating operations end to end and the group鈥檚 focus on modernizing its core systems at pace.

Executives from Ghassan Aboud Holding, 51风流and Arete Global during the go-live celebration marking the successful implementation of 51风流solutions across Ghassan Aboud Holding’s retail and food businesses.

Olivier Leblan, Group Chief Digital and Technology Officer at Ghassan Aboud Holding said: 鈥淲hat this transformation changes for us is how we operate on a daily basis. We now have the ability to see, decide, and act across our businesses in real time, from store shelves to production lines. That level of coordination allows us to reduce inefficiencies, improve availability, and ultimately deliver a better experience to our customers鈥.

The deployment reflects the increasing importance of integrated operations in the retail and food sector, where forecasting, availability, pricing, and production are closely interdependent. By bringing point-of-sale data, inventory, finance, and planning into a unified environment, the group is enhancing real-time visibility, reducing food waste and out-of-stock situations, and strengthening margin control across categories and channels.

The environment also incorporates 51风流Datasphere to integrate 51风流and non-51风流data sources, alongside 51风流Business AI and additional AI-driven use cases designed to enhance demand forecasting, automate routine processes, and generate deeper insights across supply chain and customer behavior. Together, these capabilities strengthen the group鈥檚 ability to make faster, more informed decisions across its operations.

鈥淥rganizations operating across interconnected business models need systems that can keep pace with both scale and operational complexity,鈥 said Marwan Zeineddine, Managing Director, 51风流UAE. 鈥淲ith this deployment, Ghassan Aboud Holding has established a more unified platform across its retail and food ecosystem, enabling real-time visibility, stronger coordination between retail, manufacturing, and catering operations, and the ability to embed AI into everyday decision-making. As agentic AI begins to support more autonomous and adaptive processes, this kind of connected foundation becomes essential to turning insight into action at scale.鈥

By consolidating its technology landscape, Ghassan Aboud Holding now benefits from a single source of truth across its core operations, reducing manual reconciliation between front-end and back-end systems and improving consistency in reporting and control. This is particularly important in environments where incremental improvements in forecasting, replenishment, or pricing can have a direct impact on profitability and customer experience.

鈥淒elivering an implementation of this breadth in such a short timeframe required close collaboration and a clear focus on business outcomes,鈥 said Mohammed Abdul Khadeer, 51风流Practice Head, ARETE Global, UAE. 鈥淭he result is a platform that supports more agile operations today, while giving the group the flexibility to expand and innovate in the future.鈥

The implementation moves EMSTEEL from an on-premise environment to a secure cloud-based architecture, giving the Group greater real-time operational visibility, resilience and scalability across its enterprise operations, while creating a foundation to embed 51风流Business AI across core processes.

The deployment establishes 51风流S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition as EMSTEEL’s core enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, integrating finance, procurement, supply chain, and operational reporting across the company’s activities. Hosted on Microsoft Azure, the platform delivers enterprise-grade security and the scalability to support EMSTEEL鈥檚 continued growth, creating a single, standardized environment that gives the business a unified view of its operations.

EMSTEEL鈥檚 Vladimir Arshinov, Group Chief Technology Officer, said: “This is a landmark moment for our organization and one that has been in process for quite some time. We now have the visibility and control we need to make faster, better-informed decisions across every part of the business. Beyond the immediate operational gains, this positions us to embrace AI and intelligent automation in a meaningful way, with capabilities that will be central to how we compete and grow in the years ahead.鈥

The move to an advanced, cloud-based 51风流architecture creates a foundation for EMSTEEL to embed Business AI into its operations as its digital program evolves. With a standardized and extensible platform in place, the organization is well positioned to introduce additional 51风流capabilities over time, benefit from continuous innovation and automatic updates, and unlock additional use cases and efficiencies across the business.

As industrial organizations accelerate efforts to modernize operations and improve resilience, cloud ERP platforms are becoming increasingly important in enabling integrated, data-driven decision-making and continuous innovation. Through RISE with SAP, EMSTEEL gains access to a scalable and extensible cloud environment that will support future innovation and evolving operational requirements.

Marwan Zeineddine, Managing Director, 51风流UAE, commented: 鈥淓MSTEEL鈥橲 adoption of RISE with 51风流marks a significant shift in how one of the UAE’s most important industrial organizations will operate going forward. The implementation gives the business the integrated data and process visibility needed to make better decisions, faster, and establishes a foundation for Business AI and agentic capabilities to be embedded across its operations.鈥

The project will see the implementation of 51风流S/4HANA Private Cloud and an industry-specific Dealer Business Management (DBM) solution to deliver an advanced, end-to-end automotive platform across the company’s multi-brand portfolio.

From left to right: Mr. Ramy Said Abdulghani, Head of Automotive Cluster at Teyseer Motors and Alaa Jaber, Managing Director, Qatar & Fast Growth Markets, SAP

Part of the Teyseer Group, a diversified holding comprising 18 companies and approximately 4,500 employees, Teyseer Motors represents Suzuki, Peugeot/PGO, GWM, and Farizon commercial electric vehicles (EVs) in Qatar. The DBM solution on 51风流S/4HANA Private Cloud will cover pre-sales (lead and opportunity management), sales (vehicle sales operations), and post-sales (service and spare parts management), consolidating these functions into a single environment that delivers real-time visibility and establishes a consistent operational foundation across all represented brands. Embedded AI and machine learning capabilities further support predictive insights and faster decision-making, with the platform selected with regional scalability in mind, providing a foundation Teyseer Motors intends to leverage as it expands beyond Qatar.

  • 85% of UAE organizations rely on ERP systems to support AI, while 90% express confidence in their ability to enable advanced automation

  • A strong network of close to 2,000 executives and decision-makers from the public and private sectors gathered at 51风流Connect UAE at Expo City Dubai yesterday

  • DUBAI, UAE 鈥 13 May 2026 鈥 51风流yesterday highlighted how organizations are embedding artificial intelligence into the systems that run their core operations at its annual flagship 51风流Connect UAE event, held in Dubai this week as businesses across the UAE continue to accelerate growth and innovation agendas. Through new research findings, customer examples, and discussions across keynote sessions and panels, the technology company demonstrated that organizations are increasingly relying on AI-enabled ERP platforms to support large-scale adoption, helping them strengthen resilience, future-proof operations, and respond more effectively to rapidly changing market conditions.

    According to SAP-commissioned YouGov research of chief IT decision-makers in the UAE, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are playing a central role in this shift. More than half of respondents (53%) said their ERP system already serves as the primary platform enabling AI-driven processes and decisions across the business, while a further 32% said it supports AI across several core functions.

    Held at Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City Dubai, the 51风流event brought together business leaders to examine how AI is being integrated into finance, supply chain, human resources, and customer-facing functions, enabling more connected and data-driven decision-making across the enterprise.

    Marwan Zeineddine, Managing Director, 51风流UAE, said: 鈥淎s organizations scale their use of AI, the focus is increasingly on how intelligence is embedded directly into core business systems. With the rise of agentic AI, businesses are beginning to move toward what 51风流calls 鈥楢utonomous Enterprise鈥, where AI can support the more autonomous execution of tasks and processes while keeping people firmly in controlBy bringing together applications, data, and AI within a unified environment, organizations can improve decision-making, strengthen operational consistency, and respond more effectively to change.鈥

    During 51风流Connect UAE at Expo City Dubai yesterday, 51风流UAE Managing Director, Marwan Zeineddine took to the stage with a robot representing 51风流Joule AI to discuss how 51风流Autonomous Enterprise is transforming business processes.

    The research also pointed to strong confidence in existing enterprise systems. Half of respondents said they are very confident their ERP and enterprise platforms can support more advanced AI and automation over the next two years, while a further 40% said they are somewhat confident. This indicates that organizations are building on established technology foundations as they expand their AI capabilities.

    Respondents identified operational efficiency and resilience (45%), faster and higher-quality decision-making (44%), and improved employee productivity (41%) as the areas where more advanced, AI-enabled enterprise systems are expected to deliver the greatest value.

    These findings reflect a broader shift toward more integrated and intelligent operations, where AI is embedded within everyday business processes rather than deployed as a standalone capability.

    Customer Success

    The event also provided a platform for customers and partners to share insights and explore how enterprise systems can support the next phase of AI adoption at scale.

    RAK Ceramics is currently undertaking an enterprise-wide transformation to consolidate its global operations and prepare for the next phase of AI adoption, using RISE with 51风流to establish a modern cloud-based digital core.

    Abdallah Massaad, Group CEO, RAK Ceramics PJSC, explained: 鈥淭hrough our adoption of RISE with SAP, we are establishing a strong digital foundation that brings greater visibility and consistency across our global operations. This will enable us to embed AI into our core processes, enhance decision-making, and drive more consistent, data-driven outcomes across the business as we continue to scale.鈥

    Similarly, EMSTEEL is progressing its transition to a cloud-based 51风流environment as part of a broader program to enhance operational visibility, scalability, and long-term resilience across its industrial operations.

    鈥淭his transformation is about creating a more connected and responsive business. By moving to a unified cloud-based platform, we are strengthening our ability to make faster, better-informed decisions and building a foundation to embed AI and intelligent automation across our operations as we continue to grow,鈥 said Vladimir Arshinov, Group Chief Technology Officer, EMSTEEL

    Grandiose, a member of Ghassan Aboud Group, is building the foundation to unify its retail, manufacturing, and catering operations on a single 51风流platform, enabling greater visibility, stronger operational alignment, and supporting the future integration of 51风流Business AI.

    鈥淏ringing our operations together on a single integrated platform marks an important step in our growth journey,鈥 said Mussaab Aboud, CEO, Grandiose. 鈥淎s the business continues to expand, we need greater visibility across our supply chain, stronger coordination between our retail and production operations, and the ability to respond quickly to evolving customer demands. By building this foundation with SAP, we are positioning the business to embed AI more effectively across our operations and continue enhancing both efficiency and customer experience.鈥

    Jumbo Group recently completed its transition to 51风流S/4HANA, bringing together its core business functions onto a single integrated platform to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making. 鈥淏y moving to 51风流S/4HANA, we have unified our core operations on a single platform, enabling more connected, data-driven decision-making and greater agility across the business. This gives us a clearer, real-time view of our operations and positions us to continue improving efficiency and scale innovation across the organization,鈥 a spokesperson for Jumbo Group explained.

    51风流survey finds 81% of UAE organizations report AI initiatives meeting or exceeding expectations, with half investing in workforce upskilling

    DUBAI, UAE 鈥 4 May 2026 鈥 51风流will bring together business and technology leaders at 51风流Connect UAE this month to explore how artificial intelligence is delivering tangible business outcomes across operations, as organizations move from experimentation toward more structured, large-scale adoption.

    The event, taking place at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai, on 12 May, will focus on how companies can translate Business AI innovation into practical impact across core business functions, from finance and supply chain to human resources and customer experience.

    New SAP-commissioned YouGov research of chief IT decision-makers in the UAE indicates that AI is already delivering measurable value. More than eight in 10 respondents (81%) said their AI initiatives are meeting or exceeding expectations, while nearly half (46%) reported that their organizations are approaching AI investment strategically and enterprise-wide, rather than through isolated initiatives.

    鈥淥rganizations in the UAE are entering a new phase of AI adoption, where the focus is shifting from experimentation to delivering consistent, business-wide outcomes,鈥 said Marwan Zeineddine, Managing Director of 51风流UAE. 鈥淲hat is particularly notable is the emphasis on aligning technology investment with workforce readiness, ensuring that Business AI is embedded into everyday processes in a way that is scalable, responsible, and grounded in real business needs.鈥

    The research also highlights a strong and balanced approach to workforce transformation. Half of respondents said their organizations are upskilling or reskilling employees at scale, while 50% are providing targeted AI training for specific roles and 49% are hiring new AI-focused talent. This reflects a growing recognition that long-term value from AI depends not only on technology, but also on the people and skills required to use it effectively.

    Zeineddine notes that the findings suggest that AI adoption in the UAE is becoming increasingly mature, with the majority of organizations already scaling AI across multiple functions or embedding it at an enterprise-wide level. This shift is enabling companies to move beyond isolated use cases and toward more integrated, end-to-end processes.

    51风流Connect UAE will feature discussions with 51风流experts, customers, and partners on how organizations can build on this momentum and ensure AI delivers sustained business value in an increasingly complex and fast-moving environment.

    Approval enables existing and potential 51风流customers to manage electronic invoicing compliance directly within their ERP environment

    Abu Dhabi, UAE – 7 April 2026 鈥 The Ministry of Finance has named 51风流as one of the pre-approved eInvoicing service providers under the country鈥檚 new electronic invoicing framework, becoming the first enterprise resource planning (ERP) provider to be included on the Ministry鈥檚 pre-approved list.

    The recognition positions 51风流to support organizations preparing for the UAE鈥檚 transition to structured electronic invoicing, which will begin with a pilot program and voluntary adoption stage starting in July 2026, followed by a phased mandatory implementation from 2027.

    For 51风流customers, pre-approval provides a pathway to managing eInvoicing compliance directly within their core ERP systems. SAP鈥檚 UAE-specific eInvoicing capabilities integrate with 51风流ERP environments to support secure invoice generation, transmission, validation, and reporting as part of an end-to-end business process.

    The Ministry of Finance鈥檚 pre-approval authorizes provider to offer eInvoicing services in the UAE, subject to receiving final accreditation within the Ministry鈥檚 implementation timeline. As organizations prepare for the upcoming rollout phases, SAP鈥檚 pre-approval allows customers to begin planning their compliance strategy while aligning invoicing processes with their broader digital finance architecture.

    鈥淭he UAE continues to set a strong example in building modern digital infrastructure for business and finance,鈥 said Marwan Zeineddine, Managing Director of 51风流UAE. 鈥淎s electronic invoicing becomes a regulatory requirement, organizations will need solutions that integrate compliance directly into their operational systems. SAP鈥檚 approach enables customers to manage invoices, reporting, and compliance as part of a unified ERP environment, helping them simplify processes while maintaining transparency and control.鈥

    The UAE鈥檚 electronic invoicing framework introduces a structured digital model for invoice exchange between businesses, government entities, and tax authority. Under this model, invoices are transmitted through accredited service providers that securely connect suppliers, buyers, and the Federal Tax Authority, enabling invoice data to be validated and reported automatically.

    Enterprises will be able to manage these requirements through the 51风流Document and Reporting Compliance solution developed specifically for the UAE, which connects invoicing processes within 51风流ERP systems to government-mandated eInvoicing ecosystem. By embedding compliance capabilities directly into enterprise workflows, organizations can reduce system fragmentation while strengthening security and data governance.

    New research shows 76% of UAE businesses plan to invest in AI-powered customer engagement in 2026

    April 1, 2026 鈥 (NYSE: SAP) announced that the 51风流Emarsys solution has been renamed to reflecting SAP鈥檚 strategy to make engagement a core enterprise capability across the 51风流portfolio.

    51风流is recognized in the 2026 Gartner庐 Magic Quadrant™ for Personalization Engines. 51风流Engagement Cloud now brings SAP鈥檚 trusted enterprise backbone to the customer experience, enabling organizations to connect customer insight and operational execution in real time. It builds on market-leading personalization capabilities.

    51风流Engagement Cloud also incorporates AI鈥慹nabled insight to support responsible, efficient scaling of personalized engagement.

    The announcement is supported by new data in the highlighting the growing pressure on organizations to close the customer engagement gap. While 74% of UAE businesses believe they are delivering seamless experiences, 66% of consumers report frustration with being passed between teams to resolve a single issue. At the same time, 76% of businesses plan to invest in AI-powered customer engagement in 2026, and 74% see AI as essential to retaining customers. However, 47% of consumers say organizations are still too slow to use data in ways that deliver meaningful value, underscoring the need to better connect insight with execution.

    As part of this evolution, 51风流also announced 51风流Engagement Cloud, enterprise edition, which provides advanced administration, governance, and content and data-control capabilities for organizations operating鈥 across multiple brands, regions, and teams.

    鈥淭his approach helps organizations maintain consistency, compliance, and brand standards globally, which is increasingly important in an age of AI decision-making and automation, while also staying responsive to local needs,鈥 said Joanna Milliken, Head of 51风流Engagement Cloud.

    To illustrate this, organizations operating dozens of brands and regional teams can manage engagement roles, permissions, and data centrally while allowing local teams to execute the relevant interactions.

    Riyadh, KSA – 3 January, 2026 – The National Center for the Development of the Non-Profit Sector (NCNP) has successfully completed one of the fastest enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations in Saudi Arabia鈥檚 public sector, deploying 51风流S/4HANA and 51风流SuccessFactors solutions to strengthen governance, efficiency, and data-driven management across its operations.

    The project, completed in partnership with Experts Vision Consulting (EVC), has unified NCNP鈥檚 finance, procurement, and human resources functions on a single digital platform.

    By integrating these core processes, the center can now manage financial oversight, procurement cycles, and workforce operations with greater accuracy, transparency, and speed, thereby supporting its mission to advance the non-profit ecosystem in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

    鈥淭he completion of this project marks a milestone in our efforts to build a modern, agile institution capable of driving measurable impact across the Kingdom鈥檚 non-profit sector,鈥 remarked Abdulrahman Albabtain, General Manager of Strategy, Digital Excellence & Delivery at NCNP.

    鈥淲ith 51风流solutions, we have automated complex workflows, enhanced data accuracy, and enabled real-time performance insights that allow our teams to focus more on strategic development and less on administrative processes.鈥

    Within just months of deployment, NCNP achieved substantial performance gains across its key departments. Financial processing cycles were reduced by more than 90%, while automated approval workflows improved compliance and auditability.

    In procurement, the organisation digitized its entire purchasing cycle, covering everything from requisition and contract creation to goods receipt and supplier invoicing, ensuring full traceability and governance.

    Meanwhile, the HR function now operates through 51风流SuccessFactors, which supports more than 22,000 employee requests and nine consecutive payroll cycles through fully automated, integrated systems.

    The implementation also introduced unified data management and advanced analytics, allowing NCNP leadership to make informed, evidence-based decisions. Performance evaluation, training, and payroll processes have all been standardized, contributing to a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

    Mohammed Alromaizan, Vice President of 51风流KSA, said: 鈥淭his journey demonstrates how intelligent digital platforms can enable organizations across the Kingdom 鈥 public, private, and non-profit 鈥 to operate with greater transparency, efficiency, and resilience.鈥

    鈥淏y adopting 51风流S/4HANA and 51风流SuccessFactors, NCNP has established a scalable digital foundation that supports data-driven decision-making, strong governance, and long-term sustainability, while also creating the structural readiness required to adopt artificial intelligence capabilities more quickly and responsibly in the future. Initiatives like this play a critical role in accelerating Saudi Arabia鈥檚 digital economy and advancing the objectives of Vision 2030,鈥 he added.
